Hi all, help me choose my first IEMs for gaming, movies and infrequent music listening. I’ve never had audiophile iem(don’t know if I can call it that) and I play FPS games and in music I prefer hip hop, jazz, electronica, rock. There are a couple of good iem that I can order with fast shipping (which is important for me) - Tangzu Wan’er 25$ (heard that Wan’er are not good for FPS games because of their bass) and MoonDrop Lan 30$. Also considered buying Truthear x Crinacle Zero RED for 55$ but I don’t know if these headphones are worth going out of my budget? Other suggestions would be welcome as well.

    If spending the the 20 dollars extra for the RED just means eating bean salads instead of McDonalds burgers for a wee or two, then it might be worth it. For movies, it would give you more distinct sub-bass.

    For gaming, you might want to consider the 7hz Salnotes Zero instead of the Wan’er. The Salnotes Zero has a touch less bass, but a little bit more energy in the upper mid range and treble, which could make it easier to hear footsteps and other details in games.
