Stay away from KZ IEMs, most of their models have PIERCING treble (high sounds)
You should try Truthear Hola, it's a very relaxed listening, if you can't find it in stock, the 7Hz Salnotes Zero are also a good choice.

I have a little higher budget if there is something better than truthear. Any recommendations?
I mean, there is the Truthear Zero Red, but they have very big nozzles.
Kiwi Ears Cadenza could be interesting too.
Moondrop Lan is good from my experience
KZ is pretty bad imo and especially the KZ ZS10 pro has ear piercing treble. The Truthear HOLA would be the complete opposite, as an example.
Yeah that’s what I was figuring, the ZS10s aren’t as bad as the ZSN pros. Thanks for the reply. If you have any other recommendations as I do have a little higher budget, would be appreciated.
Truthear Hexa is super clean, clear and not too sharp and probably can be EQ'd to be even better pretty easily. Honestly, anything Truthear makes is great. The reds are all the hype, probably well tuned for gaming.
I personally use the Aful Performer 5, but not for gaming. But I guess that thing plays in a different budget.
You could probably try the popular moondrop choices or the Kiwi ears Cadenza if you don't want to try Truthear's stuff. But I've seen 3 pairs from them now and all of them have very good build quality so that speaks for this brand.
