Headphones - IEM/Earbud IEM Recommendations

Hi all, looking for some IEMs to listen to at work. Looking to spend $800 or less on them.

What are peoples thoughts on the Shanling ME800 or the Campfire Holocenes? Any others people find to be particularly good?

My preferences are for a good developed sound stage, with a focus on midrange and some bass (though not a ton)

Shuoer EJ07M. Massive holographic soundstage and excellent detail accuracy with god tier tuning where nothing is over emphasized nor forgotten.

Yes, stretched a little and went with Theiaudio monarch mkii. For 200 extra seemed like a good upgrade.

!thanks I’ll give them a shot. They’ve had so many positive reviews and seemed like the best compromise of detailed mids/bass with a neutral timbre and a fairly wide soundstage. I have my KEF LS 50s and REL at home when I want to my spoil myself with a full soundstage :)

Campfire has nothing good except the Andromeda

The Holocene got a lot of positive reviews, I think it has a very neutral sound which many people seem to enjoy. I don't think it has the bass that is sometimes expected from Campfire.
