Hey guys,
I'm looking for a comfy daily IEM for a friend as a gift, I thought of the Tin T3, have not tried it but only heard good things about it so far. It's gonna be used with an Iphone 6 so I need something that can be driven by that phone. Comfort is probably the most important thing and then balanced sound / isolation are important. Don't need an overly bassy headphone. Budget is <100$. Is the T3 good ? I have no idea what can the iphone 6 drive, I never used iphones. Now that I think of it, if there are any good bluetooth headphones I'd consider them too.

The KEF M100 seems to be on sale pricing globally. I purchased them for $65 + taxes a few months ago and I'm very happy with them operating with Android. I'm guessing you are in Australia :)

if you are willing to stretch a bit, er3xr are available regularly at about 130-140$. the only difference between the er4 and er3 is that the er3 are not hand matched and are made in vietnam/china

IEMs are highly subjective. I love my Shure SE215s and don’t think they get enough credit. Wired version is around $90USD. You can also get a Bluetooth version and swap a wired cord on it because of the mmcx connector. Roughly same price and the Shure cord is $30 or so. Well made as you’d expect.
