KZ iems are reasonably priced and easily accessible in my country (South Africa 🇿🇦) and I will always say its been a great experience thus far. I'm willing to hear different opinions by gladly receiving people's iems sent to me free of charge 😂😂😂. The cost of living is far too high to buy anything outside of some the KZ iems (for most people in this country affording groceries is a blessing so I'm lucky). To be fair I have been blessed enough to snag moondrop chu 2 and wan'er SG (1) on sale but outside the sales I would not be able to afford them. I can get the sentiment around KZ when you have more options at similar price points bur they are still better than what few affordable audio options we have. TL;DR : KZ all the way, until I get my hands on more money or more iems.

I got the blue KZ one on takealot for the SG 1 and its kak short but its perfect 👌

I don't know much about the ZS10 Pro, but basing on the squiglink. Wan'er 2 is more of a neutral warm, safe tuning (minimal treble) IEM Zero 2 is a mild V-shaped IEM, while not causing issues with the midrange that much ZS10 Pro is more V-shaped than the Castor Silver, and is treble brighter-ish and has abit more bass than the Silver but lacks bass vs the Bass version. In the end it really depends on your sound preference, music genres you listen in general, and comfort level on an IEM. I would definitely suggest to buy the Wan'er SG and the 7hz x Crinacle Salnotes Zero 2 as well being those two are also cheap IEMs under $20. But if you cannot buy another one, if you have friends or people who can let you try their Wan'er or Zero 2. Same with u/Mrs_Doyles_Teabags, the IEM world is a journey to enjoy, and good luck on your IEM paths you take!

Castor Pro (Silver) might be touch bit brighter (abit more leaning towards neutral bright) than the OG Castor Silver, OG Silver seems to have a little bit more smoother sound experience than the Pro Silver. OG Silver, even in FR graphs is more versatile from neutral bright to a Mild-V warm-ish tuning. On the Tangzu Wan'er SG 1, yes its really warm and chill sound experience, though same with your guess it sounded abit too relaxed. Wan'er SG 2 changed that, so you can definitely go for that one as well. If you like bass, then Castor Bass definitely. Imaging wise its better than Tangzu Wan'er SG 1, though male vocals gets drowned, female vocals does not get affected as much. This based on my own personal experience on all 3 https://preview.redd.it/pq76zelzj8xf1.jpeg?width=9720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e9a811c03703d0c885fd03d7a806392ba2ec491 Though in the end, these are just subjective and personal opinions, everything will end up on your own preferences, likes, and dislikes.

Tangzu Waner SG 1 or 2. Best ones!

7hz X Crinacle Zero 2. No doubt. I own 7 IEMs. Best sound quality as per price point as compared to others. The cable quality is a little meh, but you can change it later. You can't EQ it though (not natively - but there are workarounds). The IEMs that I own are:- 7hz Salnotes Zero (1800 INR) 7hz X Crinacle Zero 2 (2300 INR) 7hz G1(3500) Tangzu Wan'er S.G. 1 & 2 (2000) Moondrop Chu 2 DSP(2500) Truthear x Crinacle Zero:RED (5000 INR) Tangzu Wan'er, moondrop chu 2 also sounds pretty good. But I like zero 2 more because it has much cleaner bass and sub-bass. Everything is balanced and works well for every single genre of music and gaming (I have only played fps games, horror games and story games — all sounded good in this iem). You can buy it blindly. And also don't buy from concept kart. In case it turns out to be faulty, their return service is very bad (personal experience). You can buy from amazon in a price range of 2300-2500 (3.5mm w/ mic). ZERO:RED is better than all, but is a little more expensive than your budget.

I dont want to force your buying decision : Though I had wanger S.G , kefine klean , chu 2 and kiwi ears cadenza …. Chu 2 and kiwi ear cadenza are great … why you ask that metallic shell iems are not placed at the top … because they absorb moushire and can maybe end of clogging one of the sides in long run ( if you dont of take a good care of iem ) but kiwi ears cadenza are absolutely steal at 35 bucks

y not, wan'er SG was already a good IEM & wan'er 2 is improvement over it by providing a good cable and sancai eartips for the same price as the original
