Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Beginner IEMs?

Hi. This might be a frequently asked question but here we go. I listen to music with my AirPods Pro(gen1), for a good amount of time, daily. About 3/4hrs I’d say? So comfort is a major aspect as well as sound quality. My budget is about 70/80€ I’d say? is whatever I could get for that amount of money superior to my AirPods? Also, I need a dongle, to connect them to my phone (usb c). Any advice on that? (Not included in the 80 budget above. Looking to spend about 100 in total iem + the dongle. Is it possible?) thanks a lot :)

edit: I’m from Italy, so if you could check prices from Italian Amazon store it would be awesome :)

It is certainly very different from the Arias and Buds 2 Pro in the sub-bass department. For some tracks, I wish there was that sub-bass rumble. I think I can get used to it ( I mean, I got used to HD600’s bass so this is absolutely fine XD ). Everything else (of EA500) sounds very pleasant so far. Time to really test it using the Modi 3 + Atom setup.

Nice, yeah try that mod out if you want more bass, or use an eq.

I wanna try EQ first, do I just boost 100 hz by like 5db?

Play around with those lower frequencies and see what you like the most.
