E2000

Hey everyone, looking for some help finalizing my pick. I've narrowed it down to 5 options and want opinions from people who've actually heard them. I'm in India, budget around ₹3,000 (can stretch a bit if it's really worth it) Need a mic for calls Listen on phone (USB-C) mostly, sometimes PC(I can use usb a usb c adapter here) Tried KZ DQ6, it physically hurt my ears (sharp shells, pressure points) and the treble was harsh/fatiguing Liked the original BLON BL-03 sound (warm, smooth, full-bodied) but the BL-03 II is reportedly brighter/V-shaped I want warm, non-fatiguing sound I can listen to for hours without ear pain or treble fatigue I prefer musical/fun over analytical My shortlist 1. Tanchjim Tanya DSP 2. Tangzu Wan'er S.G (HZ X edition) 3. Tanchjim One DSP — \~₹2,500 (with mic) 4. Moondrop Chu II DSP — \~₹2,590 (with mic) 5. Final E3000C \~₹2,800 (with mic) Given my bad experince with KZ, is the Wan'er S.G shell actually fine or will it potentially press on my ears the same way? Is the E2000's 7kHz peak actually a dealbreaker for treble-sensitive ears, or is it overstated? Is the E3000's amping requirement real on a phone with a basic USB-C DAC dongle, or will it sound fine? Would you stretch to the E3000, or is the Tanya DSP / Wan'er S.G already 90% of the experience? Anything I'm missing in the ₹2-4k range with mic that fits "warm, smooth, comfortable, non-fatiguing"? Bullet shapes seem to be the safest bet for me physically, but I'm open to anything that has a comfortable, non-aggressive fit. Thank you!

OP I can give my take on Finals. You can certainly go with it if fixed cable is not a problem for you. They give 2 year warranty so you are sorted there as well. Additionally, you get final e tips and a carry pouch. Yes you will need a dac with your finals to get the best output. If you cannot stretch to e3000 you can go for e2000 as well.Great set

Ah maybe I misrepresented what I'm looking for, sorry :) I'm not looking to replace my Shure A4s, I'm just looking for something that I can wear during my travels as a temporary measure. Some of the IEMs I was looking at were the final E2000s, the Tanchjim Ones, and the Truthear Holas, all of which are unavailable or dead linked on their websites. I was also looking at the SIVGA SM100s on Linsoul because they have a similar form factor to my preferred Shures but I haven't seen many people talk about them and what I have seen says that their provided ear tips aren't sufficient for a good seal. Without someone else vouching, the 50 bucks is a bit much for me to gamble on. I hope that helps!
