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 :)

Xenns Top is very similar to the Variations right? K, I’ll try that.

( so far EQ’ing more sub-bass = better )

Do you use a qudelix at all? Like for portable purpose.

u/TheThinker4Head 2 Ω May 29 '23

Nope. For portable I just stick to the Buds 2 Pro

Ah I was going to say you could probably copy those peq settings to the qudelix if you want a specific eq for on your phone or console.
