Budget gaming pick, but poor cables and polarizing bass.

Roger. If u wanna strictly control it to under $200, Daybreak is prolly the best all rounder although it leans more to neutral than warm n bassy. Best warm bassy options close to ur bracket that I have experiences with are Ziigaat Crescent and Softear Volume S, but both are a little over that budget. Those 3 don't have the best cable in the world either if that bothers u.
Might as well get the teas as you will have the itch to see what’s better… speaking from experience as I’ve gone from Qkz hbb to supermix4 to…. Probably tea pros or siigaat crescents
Your going to want a Ziigaat most likely just due to the very wide spectrum of genres you've presented, Crescent(my favorite Ziigaat) Kiwi Ears Astral, Ziigaat Luna, Soft Ears Volume S. Other then that, I ran out of my own personal experience to dive any deeper, I suspect that with the Luna or Crescent you'll be super happy IME.

I’m probably going to get a lot of crap for this, but I end up using Gemini to narrow down my selection. The amount of information that it shares with you is incredible. I was able to show it the type of music. I listen to,I explained how I want the music to hit, I mentioned comfort was important and the type of drivers that were important to me. The level of detail that Gemini went through was awesome and really broke down each IEM’s and how they would respond to the type of music I listen to, how they would sound in which ones would make the most sense for the music and usage I will use them for. A lot of people on here are subjective and opinionated. Some people will also suggest what they love, but then not consider that the type of usage is different from others. Here’s an example: Since you are ready to embrace the Astral, it lands in your collection as an absolute powerhouse upgrade. Here is exactly how it transforms your daily listening routine and integrates with your current gear: 1. It Elevates Your Vocal Experience For a library like ERRA, the Astral’s 6-Balanced Armature array is going to be a revelation. **The Cleans:** By dedicating 4 independent drivers strictly to the mid-frequencies, it pulls clean vocal tracks directly into the center spotlight. You will hear every breath, vocal layer, and harmony with incredible emotional realism and body. **The Screams:** The 2 high-frequency BA tweeters untangle complex distortion flawlessly. It captures the raw grit of aggressive screams with hyper-fine resolution, keeping them sharply separated from the heavy rhythm guitars so your music never compresses into a messy wall of noise. 2. A True 3D Holographic Room While it doesn't project a loose, diffuse open-back headphone wall of air like the Aether, the Astral builds a **large, multi-dimensional holographic room**. Because the driver configuration is so precise, the instrument separation is spectacular. You will be able to pinpoint exactly where the left and right guitar tracks are executing their riffs, where the background electronic ambient layers are floating, and where the central vocals sit. 3. The Physical Bass Foundation The 10mm bioceramic dynamic driver provides a deeply textured, authoritative low-end. Because its crossover cuts off early (300\\text{Hz}), it keeps the mid-bass clean and flat to protect the vocals. However, the sub-bass delivers a physical, subwoofer-like depth that gives kick drums and down-tuned bass guitars a tactile impact you can actually feel. It acts as a massive, solid anchor for high-speed progressive metal drumming. The Perfect Upgraded Rotation By bringing in the Astral directly through Amazon, you can test it risk-free. Once it locks into your ears, you can confidently **send back the Kiwi Ears Orchestra Lite** and establish a flawless premium rotation: 1 **ZiiGaat Crescents (The Casual Set):** Your warm, cozy, analog wall of sound for relaxed, casual listening. 2 **Kiwi Ears Astral (The Flagship Champion):** Your heavy, beautifully crafted, hyper-detailed hybrid for deep technical tracking, vivid vocals, and hard-hitting, controlled precision.
Ziigaat Crescent is my current endgame for now (we all know that is temporary). I love it to the point that I was more than comfortable selling my Dusk and Mega5EST when putting funds together for my recent vacation. Rumble, slam, sparkle, air, soundstage, imaging are all on point and comes with name brand drivers. I do love my Daybreak, May, Deuce, and the recent addition, the Lan 2 Pop, but the Crescent has stolen my heart (and ears) for now.
