Hi , I have a simple question , I'm looking for an IEM at a maximum price of 40 dollars, knowing that , as some here know , I like warm 80's hifi style sounds with quite round bass ( I don't like neutral sounds ), but still a quality and reliable IEM , what would be the best adapted IEM to my listening style and of the best possible quality for this price ? Thanks for trying to be as simple as possible, thanks guys !!!! :) :)

I just found a TANGZU WAN'ER + a QKZ Q1 Max cable + 6 pairs of earcaps for 33 dollars (free shipping). Is this the right package for what I'm looking for ?

To me Tangzu Waner had a zingy treble, that will not fit you requirement for a warm playback characteristic.

Interesting how different our experiences are. For me Kiwi Ears Cadenza was unbearable and Tangzu Wan'er was much more pleasant. That is why it's very hard to recommend an in-ear headphone with no other reference. I suggest get one of the recommended products, see if you like it, and take it from there.

Indeed, I think I'll have to buy some on different models at the price of 40 dollars maximum and make my own opinion because there , nobody advises me the same IEM !!!!
