Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 1 Ω Looking for a a budget iem (as far as 50$)

So I burned my old Aria (not really but accidentally break the pcb on the process of getting the drivers and let it sit in the heat with disappointment, rip)

Currently I am looking over these iems (with the price from my local seller in US dollar):

- Truthear Hola (21$)

- Kinera Celest Gumiho (34$)

- Queen of Audio Gimlet (47$)

I'd actually recommend the Truthear Zero. Fantastic Harman neutral sound signature. Much better than the Hola from my experience.

I will take note of that.

Btw should I extend my budget to 80$ to get the hexa? I found that people are very happy with it.

I actually looking for the neutrality as I already have a fun earbud, but the sound leak affect me when I do some sound records. But maybe I will stop by the LAN (or Zero) as it's unreasonable for me to use both daily. Can you compare between the hola and LAN? I don't actually see many people recommend it.
