New ‘budget’ recommendation is the Etymotic E2RXR. Mine were $125, have a single dynamic driver and sound absolutely fantastic. So fantastic that I sold my FiiO FH7s and ordered a pair of Sennheiser x Massdrop HD58X’s. The FH7s by comparison were $450 and have 4 balanced armature and 1 dynamic driver. Just shows how good a real audio brand that has decades of experience can be. Less is definitely more in this case.

I have the Seenheiser x Massdrop HD6xx and very very happy with them. Paired with a Topping D10 and JDS Atom amp.

Do have to use gain a bit but I can't hear any degradation of audio

Yeah, happy with the 58X’s. Chose them over the 6XX’s as I wanted something more neutral and less dark. Only amp I have at the moment is more Radsone ES100 Bluetooth dongle but tbh, the amp isn’t really doing much with either the Senn’s or Etymotic’s. The DAC however, is.
