What is the best (value) IEM between 50$-2k$

The X Zero was the budget option. 's $50 bruh.

I DID tip roll them tho, good point. and it was hard AF to get the foam tips on.

I’m not a big fan of the tuning, based on how X Zero handles it but you are right: it is THE choice for that tuning

Thanks!
S12 is not too bright to me.
I shortlisted of the EJ07 but left it out as it is not available in my country (India), however Tea 2 is available.
I may consider EJ07M from Letshoer if I finally choose it.
What about the LZ A7?

Have not heard the LZA7 so I can’t talk much on that.
But if the S12 isn’t too bright for you then just grab the Excalibur since EJ07M has darker treble. In general you’re going to get more detail from the Excalibur, and will seem more evident of an upgrade to the S12 and closer tuning wise, but the 07M will have better vocals and stage (based off reviews). If vocals/stage isn’t your main focus (but still want good ones) then–>Excalibur, if it is your main priority over detail then–>EJ07M.

OH NO… the Tri I3s are ECHELONS better - a Pagani facing down a Subaru WRX! one is elegance. the other a bit more rough and tumble

Tri I3 is better than what set again? We were talking about the Truthear Zero and that and I3 are not tuned anywhere near the same. So what set are you comparing I3 to?

I actually was comparing them , but just on the low end, as a budget option. I wasn’t trying to give 3 things that sound the same, but 3 things that may fit the prescribed requirements in different ways. this I why I ranked my suggestions.
