I want to upgrade from KZ ZS10 PRO 2

IEMs / Other In-Ear Monitors (IEM)
1

Hello, my first entry into in-ear monitors has been the KZ ZS10 PRO 2, I have liked them compared to the horrible cheap ones that I had before, but now I want more, but I cannot afford more than 70 bucks with shipping. the KZ iem’s cost me 25 bucks. I have disliked about the Kz that while I love guitars solos that are on the higher pitch of the spectrum, these ones have been too sharp and also I have had sibilances when the singer pronounces the letter “s” for example.

Could you please recommend me some other iem’s around that price (70 $) that are considerably worth the while compared to the KZ?

I intend to use them with a Hiby r4

My rec for budget set are:

  1. Qkz xHBB, mild V shape and energetic
  2. Truthear Gate, balanced but maybe not the most fun
  3. Aoshida E20, a bit bright for me so might still be an issue for you

In a similar price bracket: CCZ TianGong CZ10. This set has all the best of the old ChiFi V-tuning without the harsh sibilance that KZ is known for. It’s silly good fun.

for a step up, maybe the Sound Rhyme SR5S (or the original SR5 if you can find one)
