I was initially going to get Bluetooth earbuds, but was recently informed of IEMs. They sound appealing and worth their cost so I’d like to try em. My requirements are durability and (less than 50 euros), and something that blocks out the world. Kindly advise.

I would mostly use them to listen to music on Spotify (iphone), or my Walkman.

If there is a pair that would cost 20 euros, kindly suggest as I would like to get one for my sister.

TLDR: KIndly suggest good pair of IEMs in the nor more than 50 euros range, and not more than 20 euros range.

    If sound isolation is key, etymotic er2se/xr on adorama, whenever it is discounted to 50. That is, if you are not from a place where they dont take orders.

    If it is not that crucial, almost anything else is fine as well. Maybe find one that goes well with foam.

    Truthears zero or truthears zero red (the red edition is $5 more taking it to $55). Both are great choices. If you haven’t used IEMs before then they are a way safer bet than the etymotic er2s

      I eventually got the HOLA because it’s my first time and wanted my low expectations to be met. They surpassed what I thought they would be. Gonna upgrade in future. Thanks

    Bit late, but I have’t seen a mention of the KZ x Crinacle IEMs. Those also sound great. Otherwise, the Moondrop Chu.

      I eventually got the Truthear Hola as a trial run (and to avoid buyer’s remorse/disappointment). So far I’m comfortable with them. Way better than my Bluetooth headphones. Isolation is great, although in the beginning I struggled because I wasn’t wearing the IEMs properly.

      In future, when my bugdet allows, I’d like to explore other IEMs

      Thanks.

    The Moondrop Chu 2 are, new, popular, likely quality performers based on their predecessor, and under $20.
