Yes, I’ve recently got into iems about 2 months ago. I’ve been a AirPod/gaming headset user for many many years. When I came across iems, I purchased 1 from Ali express and I instantly fell in love with it. 2 things I mainly love is, how cheap and better they are compared to AirPods, I picked up moondrop Chu 2 for $10 and was immediately impressed with its sound quality. Right now I’m using Vzonis VD-01 but looking to upgrade to a more base iem. Another thing with iem, you can customise the cable. (With me I’m very picky about everything) and I’ve paired my iems with Xinhs 8core silver cables and it’s been the best. No cable tangles, nothing One problem is, once you get a iem, you will feel the urge to get more aha
