Are they all the same? I mean I guess you'd minus things like the LinkBuds I mentioned, but as far the ones that actually go in the ear, what makes them earbuds instead of IEM's? What makes my BA10's with the AZ09's an IEM instead of a wireless (or just in general) earbud?

Understanding the Context

My KZ's get louder, typically sound better, and they look way different. Picking new headphones is a daunting task. Fortunately, for big over-the-ears or IEMs, we have good resources in the shape of various buying guides and lists. E.g., crinacle's huge IEM list.

Key Insights

I'm thinking about getting some earbuds (not IEMs) so I'm curious, what's some resources on this topic... Additionally, due to the inherently IEM-like shell, I still sound like I have my ears plugged whenever I’m speaking. I generally find earbuds that adopt a stem-like design with a solid transparency algorithm such as the Apple Airpods Pro or Samsung Galaxy Buds3 Pro don’t seem to suffer as much from this issue. The Flathead Wiki Bullet/Cable-Down IEM Database Spoiler: Inventory WesFX and InvisibleInk at 7:07 AM Fit and Finish The IEM is composed of a lightweight polycarbonate shell that weighs around 3.75 grams per IEM. For comparison, all-metal shelled earphones like the Fiio FH7 weigh more than twice this.

Final Thoughts

A glossy black finish gives a minimalistic approach to the final product, though the bright white KBEar logo is quite present on the outer shell. I know the Beo Grace is an IEM and not a headphone, and I'm hoping (but I have big doubts) that the new volume control implementation is precise and sufficiently granular (the touch controls of the Beoplay Eleven are often frustrating, and the volume control is extremely frustrating for me). Beo Grace — The New Very Expensive "Advanced ANC Earbuds" by B&O Nice list bro, maybe u can add a segment on which IEM is better for which genres/preferred sound signature. Or maybe classify them into DD/BA/hybrids? Since they have different strengths and weaknesses between the transducer types.
