KZ Headphones

Five drivers per side — a 10mm dynamic plus four balanced armatures — for under fifty bucks is the KZ pitch, and the ZS10 Pro delivers a genuinely fun, energetic V-shaped sound that got a lot of people into IEMs. At 24 ohms and 111dB sensitivity your phone drives it easily; no amp needed. Now the honest part: KZ quality control is a known lottery. Most sets are fine, but channel imbalance and driver failures show up in reviews at a rate you don't see from bigger brands, so buy from a seller with easy returns. The upper treble has peaks that get spicy at volume, the stock cable is thin and tangly (it's a standard 0.75mm 2-pin, so upgrades are cheap), and the accessory kit is bare. As a first IEM or a beater set, it's still an easy yes.
