I think my Shure se535 Ltd with Silver Dragon balanced (2.5 mm TRRS) sounds better than any of the headphones I have except for the Focal (Elear) and the Audeze (LCD-XC). Fit is critical but when the fit is good, the IEMs are great. BTW, I don’t use custom IEMs. For how I use them I want good noise blocking but total noise blocking would probably not be safe.
I'll have to check some out but a lot of times they just fall out of my ears for whatever reason.
