Tbh. My kiwi ear Cadenzas. I still use them often even though I got a bunch of other similarly priced iems.
Decided to give my brother the vivances, sister got the Chu 2s, and mother got the celest wyvern pros.
Currently daily drive my eg280s and Cadenzas.
Unpopular budget pick in this sub. Can compete at the same price. Detachable mic is point plus. Sound tonal is warm balanced/harman which is safe for majority people. oh yeah good build quality too.
It's also not consistent, I've heard iems costing hundreds and up to 1k+ dollars that I wouldn't take over things like the zero reds, the hexas or even the kinera wyverns.
Zero 2 is still a good budget set to start with. You might also want to look at Kiwi Ears Cadenza and Kinera Celeste Wyvern.
I have all three of these and they perform well with playing rock music. I find the Cadenza to have the best bass performance out of these three. Zero 2 is a tad warmer. None of them are sibilant...at least nothing in my library of music.
APOS x Community have the Rock Lobster which goes for around 60usd...they are "supposed" to be tuned for rock music. If that still fit your budget...it could be a solid choice for you.
Moving up in price point around 100usd...gets to AFUL Explorer and Letshuoer S08. Both are warm and smooth. I have the Explorer and they are a wonderful set for rock. I'm running them through various rock genres last night. The warmth and down tilted treble allowed for higher volume listening. Was very fun!
Those are tuned differently. If you want to be safe, you can get the bunny and tune it to the wyvern pro and see if you'll like it. Then you can get it later if you want. The wyvern is gorgeous tho. I wanted to buy it as well just for the looks dang.
