Preferably close to 500$ if the returns are too diminished after it, 1000$ AT MOST
>intended use
Skiing while listening to both music and calls. I would have prefered to use bone conduction but the quality is too shit and I think using foam tips might give me better awareness while not sacrificing audio too much. FOAM TIP RECOMMENDATIONS PLS.
>past gear
Never had a good IEM, At most had a good home setup with a HD600 and later on a DT1990, really liked the bassy sound from the 1990, but the HD600 was more natural. I guess I don’t care too much about natural sound anymore but I want IEMs that sound fun.

PS: I would prefer to have a versatile setup where I can use both wired and TWS connections. I thought about using a shure aonic 5 and then buying the TWS kit but I don’t know if it’s worth the money or if I can get something better for my usecase within my desired budget. I want to buy the best that my money allows me to but without getting scammed (i.e paying 500$ more to get a fee extra ohms or a slightly better soundstage
