I found truthear zero red was too boring for me beacuse it has no treble and details for me. And I prefer much more bass light sound signature (the red was a bit much).
I didnt like the reds technical performance as well, it was fuzzyish and muffled (like underwater) beacuse of the bass boost and treble recess.(and i think lack of a good driver)

I am thinking to buy simgot ew200 beacuse it seems close to my preferance and I found a good deal for them.Would that be a good choice?
And any other reccomendations for more treble and detail under 50, 100 dollars.

I had the Zero Red and they sounded thin compared to the blue with lush vocals. I use the Tanchjim Ola for no overblown bass, just a treble rise that's interesting but not shouty or fatiguing. Plug into a FiOS DS2 with 4.4mm balanced cables and amazing performance for under $100. I play games and don't need to equalize for music, detailed but not too bright.

Hi! If you don't mind the bright and sharp treble of the Simgot EW200, it's a great choice. The Simgot EA500 and EA500LM offer a more balanced sound while retaining Simgot's signature high frequency delivery.
If you find the Zero Red a bit boring but like its shape and fit, take a look at the Zero:2 (Blue). It has a balanced and neutral tuning based on the Harman 2019 target, which you might find more enjoyable.

A very technical, detailed and neutral IEM under $100 is the Rose Technics (Roseselsa) Star City 5 Pro - it reminded me a fair bit of the Sony IER-M7.
I also give another vote for the EM500LM. It's a touch bassier than the Star City 5 Pro.
Although I don't get a perfect fit with either.
The Simgot EW300 would be a safer choice if fit can be an issue with 'exotic' shape IEMs and you need something similar to the Zero Red.

Hello, thanks for the help. Beacuse different people prefer different tunings especially on the treble one could say shouty/sibilancy treble and other could say sparkly/detailed treble for the same headphone. So for me to get a better comparison could you compare truthear zero red vs simgot ew200s treble or any other iems that you want to mention?
