I find that the HE-4XX will get loud enough at 75% on any Apple device's volume (even with a dongle). Also, very similar on my LG V30 without using the Quad DAC as well.

- Hifiman Sundara/HE-4XX: Desktop setup at home for music, watching TV and movies, and YouTube.
- Moondrop Starfield: I use these at home when I need to block out the neighbourhood when everyone decides to mow the lawn at the same time. Or dogs/puppies suffering from separation anxiety.
- CCA CRA: My beater set for work. Provides enough noise reduction on construction/work sites to protect my ears.
- AKG N400C: My grab and go for errands. The sound signature has grown on me but it's nothing special. Noise cancellation isn't that much better than the CRA's.
- QianYun Qian39: I use these in bed listening to ASMR. They're comfortable enough to fall asleep in.
It's better to start off with cheap IEMs to figure out your preference, IMO.
The sheep mentality and bad information/advice that's given and/or thrown around. It seems more apparent nowadays people aren't willing to try and discover things for themselves.
