What is the best IEM!!

Hello all, looking for some recommendations since my um3x went missing ): I loved the fit of the westones and the clarity of sound, was wondering if there are any on the market now that can match up to it! I've heard that the momentum in-ears are pretty good value but does anyone know how well they fit?


Rig - iPhone 6, iPad
Usage - Listening on commute, music
Format - 320 mp3, occasional FLAC
Genre - most kinds but not jazz or classical
Type - IEM
Other - I tend to prefer BA drivers due to their clarity, but willing to try out dynamic drivers too!
Budget - $200 and under

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated. Cheers!!

How bout shure se215 special edition?
Cheaper n good, some seller selling below $100, can find in carousell as well.

Recently owned it too, the sound signature quite ok, especially noise cancelling.

And what would ur current iem be? Preference for vocal, trebele, bass?

 

[ThinkMe]

Currently is Fischer Audio Consonance, prefer bass and treble. So I guess Twin is for me?

If can demo, try then decide. If u trust urself then leap of faith. But treble and bass quite mafan. Might not have enough quantity or slam or speed for bass. Might be too shrill or too prominent.
Best is to demo bah. Or at lwast try out more iems around the price range.

Might get something unexpected from a different brand.

Been following esports for quite a while and it seems like most of the tournaments use the plantronics gamecommander for sound isolation. Though this is not exactly the same but it's the first of its kind on the market I believe.

Modular headphones.

Anyone know what's the cheapest price of Westone UM 30 Pro I can get now?

 

[Numemon]

I used to own a UM30pro. liked the sound signature alot.

I use a iphone 6 or my laptop to listen to music. I have no real preference but mainly towards rock genres.

What would you guys recommend around the price range? Shure 525?

No CIEMs if possible, too mafan

How bout RHA T20i compatible with iPhone as well

 

[swat444]

Heir 4ai, noble 4, ue600 are all pretty close to 535 or better imo

 

[SKinny86]

How bout RHA T20i compatible with iPhone as well

RHA T20 is only a dual driver. More like downgrade from UM 30 Pro.

Stereo and song bros have

 

[Defklan14]

Rig: MacBook Pro

Usage: Strictly music

File formats used: Largely .mp3 and .flac, with a small number in .wav

Genre of music: Pop, acoustics, bossa nova, smooth jazz

Headphones/ earphones: No preference, portability not a required

Other requirements: Wide soundstage with good stereo imaging (am I being unreasonable?)

Budget: $2,000

I'd say I'm looking at spending no more than $5,000 on the entire set-up i.e., headphones, DAC and amplifier.

Thank you for your suggestions guys!
