HOLA

For real, unfortunately my truthear holas are busted, they lasted a good few years though. Have some space travel 2s currently but will probably get more iems soon along with a Bluetooth dac amp

I really like my Truthear Hola's minimalist aesthetic

When I'm at home and playing games on my handhelds or doing chores around the house, I'm still partial to my Moondrop Aria from back in 2021. I use it with Moondrop's Spring Tips and a Tripowin Zonie for the cable, since I wasn't a big fan of the default cable. They're comfortable and sound great, why fix something that's not broken? I'll likely replace this with the Truthear Hexa when it eventually does break. When I'm outside/commuting or gaming on my PC at home, I'll usually carry my Tangzu Wan'er 2. The Truthear Hola was my favourite for this one, but mine broke, they discontinued it and I'm not really a fan of the Truthear Gate's sound signature personally, so I figured I'd try something different in the name of science. This one has a mic (since I use it for work calls and gaming), and I use the Spinfit CP240 double-flanged tips on them for maximum noise isolation. I don't plan on wearing them for an extended period of time, so the tips being extra intrusive for limited durations is okay. They are also really cheap, just 2k rupees, so I wouldn't feel terrible if I lost them outside or they broke from daily use. Bonus: for extended WFH sessions (assuming I don't need to make a work call) and listening critically to music at home, I use headphones actually, my Sennheiser HD600. They are really comfortable and make you forget you're wearing them, and they are incredibly neutral. Of course, they cost 23k rupees and aren't IEMs, so not relevant to your question, but thought it would be interesting to mention it as a frame of reference.

Unsure about the kz o moondrop, but so far gate and artti are not really warm. I’d say maybe letshuoer s08, truthear red, truthear pure

I’d suggest truthear Gate. I have its predecessor, hola. It’s a relaxed warm leaning tune with just enough brightness but not too much sparkle in the treble region, just the way I like it, and I guess you do too. The build quality is fantastic. It’s holding up very well after 2 years; no issues at all. I have used them while travelling, while walking, in sweaty conditions and everything. They are working just fine.
