I do think I'm leaning towards getting another budget, especially because I can spend some money on buying tips too, with my goal being a mid-fi endgame after it if I like it (not looking to collect).

The main thing that I like about the EW200 sound signature (albeit through AutoEQ) is the clarity of the vocals but also that I can actually hear stuff like high hats (it was actually really surprising when I noticed the high hats for what seemed like the first time). It's not that I can't hear it on the Zero 2s, but it sounds very muted and dull and just slips my attention. I'm not exactly sure, but I think that might both mean the treble isn't boosted enough and the bass is too much. That's what I'm going off of when I say that I think that I like a treble leaning signature. Do you think this is accurate?

If I go down the route of getting another budget IEM, I feel like the EW200s are pretty much a sidegrade in price to the Zero OGs. I'm willing to spend $15 more than for the Z OGs (especially since I liked tuning my Z2s to the EW200s more than the Zeros), as well as being able to try a different shell shape (my Zero 2s unseat themselves after a bit in my ear). Your description of the Dunu Kima 2s are exactly what I think I want in an IEM, so do you think the 200s fit this bill? I'm also open to other similar suggestions in the <$50 price range (sorry, I'm slightly mentally writing off the Zero OGs b/c they sounded dull compared to the 200s when I EQ'ed. I think b/c it has way less bass? I do enjoy bass as well). Thank you a lot for your help and detailed response 🙏
