Basically you can call them earphones... except the line between regular earphone and IEM have blurred long ago.. not sure if you remember the earliest earphone are flat.. and does not goes inside your ear canal at all... they simply sit on the outside of your ears be squeezing itself on the outer ears. But nowadays most earphones or earbuds or IEM all have this design that actually insert the ear tips into the ear canal itself.
These are still available but they are the minority nowadays, even the free earphones that came with handphone can look like IEM.
Basically IEM are called In Ear Monitors... typically are used by musician on a stage to tune out certain instrument with a receiver so that they can follow the music better. But nowadays they are often used by regular people for music.
I did not show because all my set are attached with upgraded cable and mostly 3rd party ear tips.. that can range from $9.50 a pair to $17 a pair, cables can be like $11+ to $14+.
But if you are talking about just the basic IEM and whatever that came with it in its original packaging... ranges from under $20 to $130++.... none of them are above $150.
With the Castor Pro at the cheapest at $19++ (no mic and no add on), then ZS10 Pro from Amazon SG which can be as low as $19++ during black friday discount but normal price on Shopee is more closer to $40+ to $50+ depending on seller. Next is PRX is around $50++, then CCA Hydro is either $130+++ or $140+++ if you chose the upgraded cable version but the one I am showing is not that upgrade silver cable, I put on a different cable that can change the connector from 3.5mm to 4.4mm balanced.
because i everyday dig ear until ear canal damage got liquid and blood inside ... it turn into green color maybe because of bacteria
