Hi I have the audiosense T800 and its strengths are in details, instrument separation, clarity.
I think it will be suitable for your rap and kpop type songs, but for acoustical instruments/instrumental genres, I personally feel u are better off getting an IEM with a dedicated dynamic driver (DD) as DD IEMs usually give a nicer timbre. (The T800 is a 8 balanced armature (BA) IEM, and BAs usually excel at details and clarity).
Also T800 is not neutrally tuned, with some elevated bass and treble, so it may not give a reference sound signature for instrumental/classical pieces.
If u really like to listen to more instrumental music, I would suggest the Tanchjim oxygen (which is a DD IEM), though I don't have it, it has excellent reviews.
There is a massdrop JVC HA FDX01 which is on sale now on massdrop (@ 250 USD), and it apparently has excellent timbre (also single DD IEM).
That's my 2 cents worth, haven't heard the others to comment, but maybe the others can give their input.

Forgot to add:
I heard there's a new tanchjim oxygen coming out soon, check out the tanchjim oxygen thread for more info. So u might wanna wait before pulling the trigger and get the new edition instead.
Also the JVC HA FDX01 has customizable filters so u can tweak the sound signature a bit.
T800 is quite allrounded, and can be used for classical but IMHO it is not the best option if u truly want to appreciate classical music.

Yeah if u are treble sensitive, the T800 is bright. But it can be tamed with dampers, eartips or cable change as u say.
I suspect for classical and instrumental pieces, the JVC HA FDX01 will be excellent, a lot of reviews say it has great timbre. I wanted to get the JVC but from reviews and graphs the bass is a bit lacking, and I'm a basshead so I gave it a miss in the end.

Yes, it’s confusing as there is so much out there. And while the Sony N3 is amazing.....the Fearless S6Rui is around the same price and offers maybe more detail? It’s really the best to get a listen to stuff. But it’s safe to say the S6Rui basically owns the price over almost everything I’ve tried under $400?
Even though I’m a great Chi-Fi enthusiast, the quality control can still be edgy at times. I have no issues really with any of the 5 other Chi-Fi IEMs but one of the cable plugs is just slightly loose on the Fearless S6. It does not come off randomly or anything but CAN wiggle back and forth if moved. Not a big deal. I’ve had really good luck with Chi-Fi quality never returning anything, but if you read posts you may find other opinions. Still I’m 100% satisfied with my China products.

I don't own any fearless products but they have been getting rave reviews.
So far they've been outside of my budget unfortunately.
How does S6 compare to the newest Roland and S8F?

Err maybe i using daily go and back from work, 2 chifi i bought also got cable issue, tfz king cable issue after half year, em3 i bought last double 11 but 2nd time i send to claim warranty for cablr issue too.
But sound wise really worth the value .

I had cable issues on a few of my chifi and also western IEMs that cost way more money (westone W30 and westone 3). Luckily the westone W30 had detachable cables so no biggie, just swap another set of cables and it's ok.
The westone 3 however had non detachable cables and i was peeved cause it is now unusable short of recabling it.
I babied my two westones and always stored them in hardcases when not in use, and these cable problems occured within less than two years of purchase.
Cables are usually the first to die due to wear and tear. So nowadays i only buy detachable cable IEMs cause i don't have technical skills to resolder stuff. Actually most budget to midfi western audio stuff are made in china TBH, so if any QC issues should happen, it can affect western brands too. TOTL stuff may be a different story with regards to QC though.
That’s the thing. Once you have a couple interchangeable cables you worry about cables less. If Chi-Fi becomes a value to a listener maybe included cables end up being secondary? Another suggestion would be the original BGVP DM6. At $199 they offer an exciting entry into the world of Chi-Fi. And while there has been some quality control issues with the newer BGVP DM7; it’s safe to say there is happiness found in old DM6 IEMs which are available still. IMO
While some of the hype associated with the DM6 has now died down, only to be passed up by more well rounded performers like the S6Rui. The Fearless S6Rui is still $389.......almost twice the price of the DM6. I would not be surprised if one could even find the DM6 on sale for less?
