Hey everyone,

I'm looking to step into the IEM world and grab my first pair. My budget is around ₹3,000 INR, though I'm willing to stretch a little bit if the jump in quality is absolutely worth it.

What I listen to:

60% Hindi/Bollywood: This is my main priority. I need the vocals to sound forward, and clear.
35% Mainstream Pop: Dance-pop and Synth-pop (The Weeknd, The Kid LAROI, Drake).
5% Melodic/Chill Electronic: Tracks like Shy Girl by Kedam, Ben Böhmer, and Fred Again.

My Shortlist so far:

Kiwi Ears Cadenza (Heard the vocals are great, but does it have enough treble sparkle?)
Headphone Zone x KZ Thunder (Worried the V-shape might push the Hindi vocals too far into the background. Is the treble harsh?) but is 1.5k cheaper that cadenza.

Any other recommendations?
