I’m looking for my first beginner IEM and I’m confused between these options for my Moto G34 5G:

1.Headphone x Fiio JD1

2.KZ - Castor Pro

3.Moondrop - Chu II

4.Headphone Zone X Tangzu - Wan'er S.G 2

5.Headphone Zone X 7HZ - Salnotes Zero Ltd. Ed.

6.Headphone Zone X Tangzu - Wan'er S.G

7.TruthEar Gate

I’m completely new to IEMs/audiophile stuff, so I want something that is:

1.beginner friendly

2.enjoyable for long listening

3.good for music quality and vocals

My music taste is very mixed:

Tamil: Ilaiyaraaja, A.R. Rahman, Harris Jayaraj, Anirudh, Vijay Antony, Hip Hop Tamizha, SPB

English: Eminem, The Weeknd, XXXTentacion, Drake, Kendrick Lamar, pop music

Japanese: YOASOBI, anime songs/OSTs

Korean: K-pop and K-drama OSTs

Also Malayalam, Telugu and Hindi songs

[But i mostly listen to tamil songs especially illayaraja ]

Which IEM would suit my music taste and phone the best?

I’m seriously confused between these 3 and I don’t want to waste money again.

Realme Buds T310 – People keep saying battery backup is weak. I’m a heavy user (7–9 hours daily), so this is a big deal for me. I don’t want something that dies halfway through the day.

Realme Buds T500 Pro – Looks great on paper, but I’ve seen multiple reviews saying call quality is bad, especially outdoors. That’s a dealbreaker.

OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro – This seems like the safest option, but it’s sitting around ₹3000. I’m only willing if it drops to ₹2500… does it ever go that low?

I just want something that:

Can handle long daily usage (at least 7–9 hrs)

Has clear call quality (indoor + outdoor)

Actually lasts 1–2+ years without issues

No brand bias—just tell me the honest truth. Which one should I go for? Or is there a better option I’m missing?
