I think endgame is whatever you deem to be the pinnacle of the sound that you like. I have a pair of Campfire Ponderosas which were £800 give or take but I later bought a pair of Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lites for about £260 which, in my opinion, are significantly better. So for me endgame is £260, but for you it may be something else entirely.

Orchestra lite not being in the list is heresy

Fiio FA19 for gaming original Xenns Top with a custom cable for music. Also own original Fiio FH7, Dunu vulkan, Tin t4 plus, Kiwi ears orchestra lite and KE4, Letshuoer s12 pro, ikko oh10 and Punch audio martillo.

That’s mostly due to each game having different audio implementations. Footsteps can sit within different frequency ranges from game to game. Other audio queues (explosions & abilities) that sit in those same ranges drowning out footsteps, can sometimes be far more transparent on a particular iem than others. It seems Fresh usually rates multi driver iems quite highly due to their competence in imaging and layering. I have purchased a few different sets based on his reviews. Primarily the Dunu Vulkan 1, Kiwi ears orchestra lite, Xenns Top and Fiio FA19. I don’t play Valorant though but i definitely think he knows what he’s talking about and not just shilling products like other reviewers.

The S12 Ultra has recessed vocals. I wouldn’t. Buy the S12 Pro or S12 2024 instead. The supermix 4 is harman. It makes thing sound thin for me but you’ll like it if you like harman.  I just picked up the orchestra lite myself

I have the Kiwi Orchestras you linked and I love them. I have been exclusively using IEMs for 10+ years and these are the best option at their price point. IMO they punch far above their weight class too. I have had more expensive IEMs that did not sound near this good. my single complaint about the Kiwi is that they can kinda hurt my ears if i wear them for like 8 hours straight. But thats pretty rare.
