Beginner here looking to transition from Sony-1000XM4 into IEMs as battery can only last about an hour.

Seeking recommendations on IEMs within the range of $50-$150.

Music: JPOP - Vaundy / Aimer / Yorushika, KPOP - Taeyeon, JRock- One Ok Rock, Asian Kung Fu Generations

Main Use: Connect to Phone for use on Commute / Travel.

Appreciate if any experts can recommend IEMs to buy

Do you already know what your preferred sound is and the common audiophile jargon? If so, can just search for specific IEMs that match what you like

Otherwise, my best bang for buck recommendation is KZ EDC Pro. Very affordable (under $20 I think) but the tuning sounds more high end than its price suggests. Not the best build quality tho, but should last long enough until you find the exact IEM for your tastes

anyone has wirless iem that suitable for gym use. sweaty head and doesnt slip out of ear?
Hmmm my priority for gym use ish fit and protection from sweat, moisture and dust....

However, its very hard to find any IEM paired with wireless adapter fitting the requirements....Me will be super heart pain pain if the iem nozzles or connector rust....making it harder to charge the wireless adapter...or changing the sound due to IEM's nozzles or internal component rust...

Suggest to follow buddies advice hoot a cheap and good TWS earbuds ba....leave the solid IEM/adapter for commute, work or listening at home?
