IEM DILEMMA!!

Hey everyone! I need help picking out a secondary ultra-budget IEM and wanted to get some opinions. Abit of background information, I am quite new to IEMS and received my current IEMS as a gift, I also am on a tight budget for IEMS, I do prefer having an IEM that is bass heavy but doesn't clutter or drown out vocals and instrumentals, I mostly listen to rap, pop and Indie (MF DOOM, Kanye west, Mac Demarco etc).

My Current Setup & Audio Taste:

  • I already own the Tanchjim Bunny for home use.

What I need this new pair for:

  1. Main Use: Listening to music during daily walks on highly congested, noisy city streets. I need a strong "noise-cancelling" effect so traffic doesn't drown out the music.
  2. Secondary Use: Gaming (Valorant, CS2, Overwatch 2, R6, Fortnite etc.)
  3. Budget: Strict ultra-budget (under $20 if possible).

The options I currently consider. (If there are any others please let me know!)

  • KZ Castor (Bass Edition):
  • 7Hz Salnotes Zero 2:
  • Tangzu Wan'er:
  • CCA Polaris:
  • GK Kunten:
  • CCA Xyra:
  • CCA CRA:
  • KZ EDX Pro:

I plan on purchasing the IEMS on TaoBao or Aliexpress as it is the easiest method to purchase goods especially in my country. Once again I would like to thank you all the help!
