Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.

ew200 is quite a bright signature. if you like that then i'd go for a more traditional planar like s12 which will give you some of the most detial and separation in the price s08 is great but could also sound way too mellow in the treble if you liked ew200
name of the game, make sure return policy is good and don't feel bad about buying multiple at the same time to try. my s08 had issues but s12 has been perfect
Shuoer S12 with Triple Flange Eartips
End game is hard to define, because there are a lot variables that can go in to why or what someone would consider end game. Generally, I think o $150 sets like the Nova, SM4, Daybreak, S12, could all be end game for many who are not deep into the gear side of things as well. For people who have been taken in by the hobby as a whole, I think $250-350 is end game. But you need the hardware and the source material to support it. If your listening to YouTube Music, you're not going to get a better experience than a $150 set. Kilobuck exists. Most of it exists to get rich people to throw money at. There are only a hand full of kilobuck sets that I have heard that justified the price, and even then, I still think it's a waste of money. Honestly, anything over $300 is a waste of money. Invest in more tips, better source gear, a quality streaming service that offers lossless, and you will be set with a good $200-300 IEM. You're not going to miss anything.
I’d stretch it to S12 and call it a day, sir
Yeah I’m on that journey right now, as soon as I wrote this post I got the S12 and the tempotec V1 in the mail too so it’ll be a busy day
I can’t really give you advice there because that’s what I did lol That being said I will be buying another pair of Castor Blacks just because I enjoy them and they’re less than $10 lol I’m loving the S12 so far and I’m still waiting on the Kefine Klean to be delivered, the Blue2 are very warm and detailed but the Castors just sweep them in bass.
