EDC Pro is the best tried and tested cheapest iem of all time worldwide. Ask any iem enthusiast in any country in the world and it would be their first recommendation for cheap iem
Kz edc pro, Artti t10
i'd honestly just go for edc pro. for <6$ they're damn good
EDC Pro and CRA are okay
KZ EDC Pro, found them for 5 euro on a Aliexpress bundle deal and sounded way too good for the price. Though the cable and connector are very horrible and the shell is awfully cheap.
Have: *Using a dac btw *Chu 2 and Kefine Klean are prone to sound damp/loss due to moisture getting trapped in the metal housing. If it happens let it air out or put silica gel next to it. -Kz edc pro(cheapest option; sounds better than my salnotes zero & chu 2 tho unreliable qc) -Salnotes zero(great budget option; clean layered sounds and a bit bassy, plastic housing not really bothersome quite reliable tbh, stock cable sucks tho, my running/jogging iem) -Moondrop chu 2(clean layered sound and neutral tuning, my preferred choice; metal housing, great stock cable, my travel iem) -Kefine Klean(a bit better sounding than every iem i have, best build quality, metal housing, great stock cable, my gaming iem) Currently eyeing: Kinera Celest Simgot ew300
I use the KZ EDC Pro (non x). Very good staging (atleast for me). Good quality. Good audio. I used to use the Moondrop Arias, and these are way cheaper than that, whilst sounding very identical.
what are your other iems beside edc pro? i just bought edc pro after i lost my zst x, but felt zst x sounds better.
