Honestly mate, at the 20$ budget, the best choice is the 7Hz Salnotes Zero, and it isn't even close. It comes very well tuned straight out the box and the build quality is very good especially at the price point. Much better build quality and tuning than the moondrop chu's imo. In fact, I use it over my DT770s, which are over a 150 quid more expensive.
There shouldn't be another iem you consider at this price.
Also, if you have a different budget, you can check out crinacle.com iem ranking, although the 7Hz zero isn't on there as he collaborated in making it and doesn't rank his own stuff because of bias
Tl;dr 7Hz zero at 20$, beats everything at that price range

I have a friend that has this. His only complain was the low bass. But clarity and separation is on another level they said.

if you also want for gaming, try the truthear zero, SIMGOT EM6L, Simgot EW200, Truthear hexa and Dunu Kima. a lot of them have great bass and good spatial precision for listening and gaming
a lot of them are below 100usd, plus cheaper since we live in asia

none of them have mic options i think, if u wan mic then its either U buy another iem that has it like moondrop chu, or u buy a cable that has mic in it, typically like around 5sgd

letshour s12
music - 9/10(abit too sharp for my liking in the trebles, base is not perfect but still pretty good)
fps - 7/10( it has the spatial awareness, but it isn't like pinpoint precision of where the enemy could be)
ever since i started using iems, i never looked back at headphones anymore(cheaper, sounds better and no dreadful headphone hair)

The only thing that's stopping me from getting the moondrops are their designs. Seems kinda girly no? I would rather opt for simpler and more professional looking IEMS.

Looks do not matter in iems in general. Its all marketing, if the sound and comfort is good then its good. If you're looking for professional looking iem just go to any hi-fi brand like sure or sennheiser.

Btw don't get KZ IEMs with mic. Those aren't good, unless you have noise cancelling software like Krisp etc
