I listen mainly to Spotify, extreme quality and with a wide range of songs ( classic rock, new age, R&B, chillstep, orchestra).
Would like to hear your opinions on the following IEM's my budget is 200-300. Thinking of GR07/GR06 or IM50. Thoughts on their suitability? Or any other options in this price range.

Hi,
Lost my XP3's last week and looking for a replacement.
Rig : Laptop ( movies ) & Honor 3c
Budget : 200-300
IEM's.
Appreciate your help. Noticed many recommendations for AT IM50 but afraid I wouldn't find it comfortable.
Great thing you both are having the same price range. GR07 is around 3xx, and yes its a all rounder.
Another great all rounder is the VSonic VSD1/VSD1S - they are only 1xx.
IM50 is a little warm and bass oriented IEM, it won't suit wide range of genre.

Completely new in this, don't really know how to pick one.
-preferably listen to .FLAC
-Rock(both with and without screamo-type), pop song, seldom listen to EDM
-emphasize on instrumental sound
-for the budget i think IEM would be the most suitable type(?)
Budget let's say RM200--max 400(?) hope sifus can give me some choices.
gonna buy the earplugs for now, saving amp for next time.
Thanks in advance.
P/S: Am eyeing on the Shure SE215, is it nice? and will it be having a VERY VERY HUGE difference without amp? :/
SE215 I personally feel it's not too good, back then maybe but not nowadays. And to be honest, the difference from amp is audible, but from mid range and high range amp is subtle, I couldn't call difference. But a good note to yourself, always try to feed good source from a good DAC and also drive the IEM/Headphone well.
My recommendation for 200-400 based on your preference,
Ostry KC06A - 2xx, slightly u shaped sound can cater your needed on emphasis for instrumental
VSonic GR07 - 3xx, all rounder, with slightly sszzz on treble side.
RHA MA750i - 4xx, u shaped, pretty good bass and nicely controlled highs.
Can't go wrong with any of these
