DAP's are stupid pricing now, I remember when they were affordable. Most now are £200+ cheapest one is £800. rolleyes
Don't do a price search for SP3000T
or the gold plated edition for even more rip offery

Back in the day I had plenty of MP3 players (mostly because they went through the wash). Then smart phones made mp3 players obsolete. My Samsung S20 is the first phone I've had since my Nokia N95 that doesn't have an headphone jack.

Well, i am going to order the older KZ ZS10 Pro........
Seems to have a good following and reviews....never tried an iem before but quite fancy one after looking them up.

I've got quite a few pairs.
On stage I'm mainly using Sennheiser IE 100 Pros, as they're cheap and pretty good, and I get a surprisingly good seal with them. Previous to those I was using some custom moulded Puretone ones (Micro Monitor 3s, if you're curious), but unfortunately after about 10 years of abuse they finally died recently.
When I'm out and just want to listen to music, I use a set of FiiO FH5S with the UTWS5 ear hooks, which I like because unlike my 'true wireless' ear buds, they don't keep falling out of my ears

These seem to be recommended by many. I have a set on the way.

Awesome. Thank you.

Is it worth changing the stock cable that comes with more budget iem's?
Only for aesthetics/comfort. I don't believe the stock cables are choking performance.
Worth looking at Comply (https://www.complyfoam.com/) if you haven’t already.

Sonically no.
Looks good but pretty expensive for some tips. Found a bunch on Aliexpress for about £3. Decisions decisions.

I would be more inclined to get the Ali ones as foams get grubby rather quickly and need replacing more often.

I would also say that foams will dampen the treble on the EW200 something which you may not like.
I see. Thank you.
I went with these in the end as it is easy to return stuff to Amazon if it doesn't work out.
