Yes. The budget segment is in incredible bloom. I’m thinking of getting a Castor next. This also looks interesting, but for rock and metal it’s unlikely to be as good:

I am more interested in the ZiiGaat Cinno, but the flat pinna tuning is something I usually find enjoyable ( think OG Tea, and P1 Max ). I am not sure if it would be good for metal, but that tuning tends to be for classic rock.
The other one I had my eye on was the Forteza from Kiwi-Ears, but the only graphs I have seen look a bit lean on the bass, and way too spicy on treble.

Best IEM I have ever heard for metal is the MMr Thummim, hands down. It bangs across the board and is powerful like no other. It’s just crazy how psyched and into the music you get with it.

I guess apart from the holographic stage and coherence, there is also exceptional dynamics, which is essential for metal. However, I didn’t read a good review anywhere. Cheaper IEMs have better reviews, which is strange.

And it’s even not that expensive!

Shanling flagship IEM, Majestic is upcoming. …
Features 12 drivers, including 2DD+4EST+6BA. Top configuration, brand-new tuning, and luxury accessories, offer a high-end experience.
I hope the upper mids won’t be the typical Chinese Shanling tuning…
