If you are going to play with the DSP tuning then near everything is fine, i guess consider Salnotes Zero 2 for its driver as a first option, Bunny is still a good stock iem too but it seems it will take some time, at that point you might aswell choose based on avalible sets and short shipping dates: Truthear Gate, Simgot EW100p, tangzu Waner 2, even if there is some differences on bass quality, they arent that big in this price range, the sound adjusting via the echo b would do more for you than anything else. (Kz Gale and EDX Pro 2 also have quite nice drivers, but build quality is very very basic overall). Also, not sure the specific reason for going directly to a 4.4mm cable but a 3.5mm cable would do just fine if your concern is powering the iems.

Well, there is a difference between an iem with a DSP cable and a type-c cable, if you want a DSP one (which means it has at least an Equalization loaded into it, youll have less options, IF you just want one iem that already comes with a type-c cable, and youll just wavelet and whatnot to EQ it, you have more options like actually the Waner 2, the TRN Orca (which also come with tuning switches to play with, that do change sound), Salnotes Zero and Zero 2, etc. Btw, now that i remember too, If you havent checked it yet: This is a Sub $50-ish iem list i made: [- Click Here -](https://www.reddit.com/r/iems/s/ewQg6y32HB) Is recently updated with most current decent iems on the market to search for, and some mentioned if they have with type-c alternative (tho i think that still needs a bit of an update lol, some iems got the Type-c options recently, or i forgot to mention they do). Anyway, in there, check the Sgor Luna, for about $42 bucks you can get it along with actually a basic dongle DAC to use at least for now, is pretty decent for a beginer if you can spend the extra bucks.

Waner 2 on accesories alone, a lot of TRN sets on a sale have crazy value too it i can mention that. I personally think that Dunu Titan S2 to this day have arguably the best assortment of accesories under $100 you can get, and easily competes with sub $200 (in accesories* only). On a sale you are almost paying for an upgrade kit that comes with competitive sub $100 iems along with it. And of course budget planars like PRX or specially T10 that sound notably better than the prices you usually pay for those (even if accesories arent great, at least price is excellent, for some they sound x2 to even x3 the price they payed for). And finally, not the biggest "value kings", but iems like Kefine Klean or the TRN Orca, on a sale, offer you just about enough of anything you need to enjoy music at very reasonable, very accesible prices: good technical performance for the price + Good tuning (or an adjustable one) + good enough accesories for the price.

ND Planet, tangzu wan'er s g., and the trn orca are all good starting points because they sound good and they have good accessories.
