Need IEM recommendation help i have treble sensitivity, need mic, daily use + gaming
I have some experience with IEMs and I've been using the KZ ZSN Pro 2 since launch they're comfortable for long hours, and the only reason I'm replacing them is a loose connector and I want an upgrade.
I've shortlisted a few options: Final VR500, Waner SG2, Tanchjim Bunny DSP.
Some context on my preferences: I have treble sensitivity and piercing highs bother me a lot. The KZ's treble feels a bit mushed and it doesnt feel premium in terms of music listening. My friend has an Orivetti X Headphone Zone Blackbird the treble on that is good, but it gives me a headache after half an hour of either music or cs2, whereas the KZ doesn't. Bass is fine, not a priority, but it shouldn't be so muddy that it wrecks everything else. Overall I'd prefer something on the neutral side.
I'm steering clear of the Chu 2 people are saying it's sparkly, which sounds like it'd be an issue for me.
Music is secondary and i watch lectures on my laptop, I don't listen super regularly.
Durability is also a concern since I'm pretty clumsy.The Finals have known durability issues and fixed cables, which puts me off. People are also mentioning the VR500 is strictly a gaming IEM and not great for music but honestly my main draw to it is the wide soundstage and it doesnt look awkward when using in public iykyk, so I'd love to hear if that concern is valid or overstated. Whatever i purchase ill use daily.
I mainly play Fortnite, cs2 on pc and single players on Playstation and i have an android.
Music taste is mainly hip hop, R&B, edm and house
