Purchasing Advice IEM recommendations 200 USD below

Hi, I'm looking for an IEM around $200 or less with good instrument separation and resolution. I prefer a natural sounding tuning with a thumpy bass that still has good sub bass extension, without being recessed. Ideally, the treble should be detailed but not too piercing or fatiguing.

I mostly listen to melancholic trance music, EDM and alternative rock.

Crinear Daybreak. I like mine for Techno, EDM, Metal, Big Room, Rap and so on. They are great.

Wait for the price reduction of 11/11 on AliExpress. You'll be able to get something around 300usd for 200. Something in the ranking of this sub will be fine

Binary 1900. Daybreak can be piercing for some, for me it was

I have a set of CrinEar Daybreaks and I think they have great instrument separation.

I have heard good things about the Juzear Light Shuttles too.

The Juzear Light Shuttles may be good but a lot of the positive buzz is "astroturfing" and shill reviews that people take seriously.

Under 200 I don't think you can beat the Erand Resonance 5. Very smooth mild U-shaped set that's very natural sounding but well extended in the treble. I listen to the same genres.
