I have to disqualify the SoundMAGIC E80D Digital USB C Headphones because it looks like their 90ยฐ plug won't fit with the rather thick otterbox case I have on my phone.

Any other suggestions? Would be using primarily for phone but also for laptop, if that makes any difference.

EDIT: Thanks to everyone who responded ๐Ÿ™‚๐Ÿ‘Looks like I've got several good leads to follow, so I'd better get started!

I mean, I'd take the professional opinion of an audiophile with actual tuning experience over ten tech reviewers any day.

Also, I've had no issues with my Moondrop Chu 2 DSP, but if for any reason I don't want the DSP I can just swap the cable out for one with a 3.5mm jack.

Why would you take an expert's opinion instead of just listening yourself?

You can eq to the fr of the thing you're buying and just listen if you like it.

Because I'm not physically able to try the IEMs myself before I buy them? I'm not made of money, so I can't keep buying and trying things until I find a perfect pair.

Look, I've bought stuff he has tuned, and I liked them enough to continue buying things he recommends. I also don't mind tuning differences because at the end of the day as long as it still sounds great I'm not fussed.

You can try before you buy. You can use an equalizer to tune your current IEMs to the pair you're buying

There's a tool online you can use:
