I have been considering buying an IEM that would be a step up from my older BLON BL03 and QKZ x HBB.

So far I have narrowed down to these 3 -

Truthear x Crinacle Zero (red)
Simgot EW200
7hz Sonus

I found one more IEM - KZ PR-2 or PR-3

I mostly listen to Rock, metal, jazz, blues and some occasional cinematic soundtracks (like Hans Zimmer). I also want to use the IEM to play games like Apex Legends.

I want it to last for sometime (if possible) unlike my blon - the shells come off every now and then and its annoying.

If there are any other IEMs I should consider please let me know. I just want the best value for money IEM that sounds good

I don't have many personal recommendations on IEMs as most my headphones are over ears. I've heard good about KB Ear's stuff! Even sent Dankpods a painting of him smooching his snake as thanks for a glowing recommendation, which just tells me that they're a cool company.

As for transceiver, it depends on which cable type your IEMs use. My ZSN Pro X buds use C-Pin cables, and most adapters I'm seeing making true wireless buds out of them average about $30-40 USD. Cheaper ones exist but they're the wrap around your neck type of wireless.
