In need of iem or earphones- advise needed

[SamyBoy13]

Hello guys, two days ago I have dropped my brainwavz b100 in a puddle (please do not ask how as I don't know how I managed it either). I've dried them but they are not balanced anymore (one is quieter than the other). They served me well for the last 27 months as a daily driver so this was a well spent £50.

Thus now I'm shopping around for new iems or earphones. I liked how comfortable, clear + open b100 were, but to me, the armature driver was slightly lacking in the low-end department (quantity) to my liking (I've mitigated this with 4.5db bump @70hz).

Any recommendations? I don't have a set budget at the moment and looking for a significant upgrade for as little as possible over B100. Thanks in advance guys.

Thank you guys for your reply.

^ for a mere £35 they are supposed to sound extremely good. Due to having one dynamic and 4 BA drivers, the housing will be a lot more bulky than the B100 which practically disappear into your ears.

These might be the one, yet do you have any other recommendations? I don't mind spending more if the difference can be justified.

EDIT
Also, any ideas if Tin Audio 2 are any good in comparison to the above? Personally thy look more minimalistic and cable looks better quality as well

Not seen anything about them although they do seem to be aboard the hype train, which may not be a bad thing, sometimes the masses do get it right

Thanks. Ill have a think about them or the zs10 pros. Assuming no other alternatives?

I use the Tin Audio T3 as daily IEM's replacing the T2 and both are pretty great, though to be fair not had loads of IEM's (prefer over ear's for home!) I prefer the T3 overall compared to the T2. They can be slightly sibilant track dependent but otherwise great IEM's all around. Have no probs driving them off my phone and come with so many earbuds that its easy to get the perfect fit. Cable is quiet different to the T2, I like it, but it is somewhat more flashy compared to the T2 cable.

Could be worth a check, as I say not had loads of experience with IEMs but both I found offered solid sound for reasonable price.

Thanks for your reply, might go for TIN 3. When you say they are sibilant, do they emphesise S sounds a lot and also do they make your ears bleed? I went from cheap Samsung -> skull candy -> Vsonic Vsd3s -> Brainwavz -> ???? ?
Not sure what to get as it seems so many Chinese manufacturers get into technology in general with great results for budget staff.
