Hi ShinAS and tunertoobe, thanks for both your helpful replies

But, I've tried the Shroom before and didn't like it at all. It didn't feel comfortable and doesn't fit that well in me ears.

I also tried the Hippo 10 EB before. I liked it because details and clarity is good, well balanced without the bass being overpowering. But the problem is that it doesn't fit well with my ears. Not at all. Feels like an earbud to me because it doesn't "stick" like other IEMs do. It just clings on to whatever it can I'm guessing it's the design of the IEMs itself, since it's not the regular ones..

Oh and comply tips does help a little bit with the fit/isolation, but I really didn't like the feel of it..

And maybe I might have to go with the Hippo Pearls. Fits reasonably well, sound is balanced like the Hippo 10. I was expecting to try something new, but didn't expect to revert back to the ones which I previously had(sold off Pearls some time ago). Or perhaps there are other recommendations for budget of RM100-200
