Need advice on buying an IEM (under $50)

I have been considering buying an IEM that would be a step up from my older BLON BL03 and QKZ x HBB.

So far I have narrowed down to these 3 -

  1. Truthear x Crinacle Zero (red)
  2. Simgot EW200
  3. 7hz Sonus

I found one more IEM - KZ PR-2 or PR-3

I mostly listen to Rock, metal, jazz, blues and some occasional cinematic soundtracks (like Hans Zimmer). I also want to use the IEM to play games like Apex Legends.

I want it to last for sometime (if possible) unlike my blon - the shells come off every now and then and its annoying.

If there are any other IEMs I should consider please let me know. I just want the best value for money IEM that sounds good

I love my KZ ZSN Pro X dirty buds, honestly! For like $20 usd you get great sound for the price, a shockingly good microphone, sturdy build quality, and a replaceable cable which is a common cable used by other companies. If the cable gets cut or goes bad, keep the drivers and just get a new cable silly - or you can get wireless Bluetooth transceivers which turn them into true wireless ear buds.

Hi thanks for commenting. I actually considered the ZSN pro before I bought my QKZ x HBB. I went with the QKZ as I've never tried Bad Guy Good Audio's tuning before.

I initially bought it for gaming, but found myself using it more than the BLON
Actually I liked it better than my BLON BL03. Plus I got the thing for much less than the BLON iem.

That aside, what iem would you recommend for $50 ?

P.S : please also suggest an affordable Bluetooth transceiver. I know KZ has one but I don't know if it's available in my region.
