What’s Next in My Collection?

Hi all,

Looking for some recommendations to round out my grow IEM obsession. For context, I started this journey a little over a year ago with a Hiby R4 and a pair of Linsoul KZ ZS10 Pros.

I listen to a lot of different types of music. Mostly Metal, Classical, and Ambient, with some Blues/Rock, and Jazz (mostly Big Band or Vocal) thrown in.

Since my first purchases, I’ve added the following three IEMs:

-AFUL Explorer

-Letshuoer S12 Ultra

-Fiio FF5 (earbuds)

The S12 Ultras are pretty much my EDC. However, for longer listening sessions, I prefer the AFUL Explorers. The FF5 are for when I’m feeling like I need that old school vibe.

I have a little play money and I’d love to add something new to the mix. I’ve noticed that the S12 Ultras start to break up a bit in the low-end when listening to more Ambient or classical tracks. Not really looking for a ton of Bass. In fact, I prefer a pretty even EQ curve. But I do want something that is good for more critical listening. I love hearing the pick on bass strings or the bow of a violin.

Would love some suggestions in the sub $250 USD range. Anyone have some input?
