Wanting to try out some entry level IEMs for gaming. Mostly for Discord or gaming while my wife watches TV next to me. I've gotten to where earphones hurt my eat after awhile, just wanting something to pop in and get clear sounds.

Prefer something under the $100 mark, but willing to spend a bit more if necessary. Right now I'm debating between Moondrop Aria or Shure Aonic 215. Any advice on which are better or recommendations? Thanks in advance!

Don't know much about the Shure, but I'd skip the Aria. It has very widespread problems with moisture causing channel imbalances after you wear them for a while (and the paint chipping after a while).

I'd take a look at the tangzu wan'er/truthear hola/kiwiear cadenza instead. They are all cheap, tuned pretty similarly to the Aria and each other (mildly bass-boosted warm neutral), and I haven't really heard any reliability horror stories about them.

How do these recommendations compare to something like the Tin T3+

These have caught my eye and I seem to be leaning towards these or the Kiwiear Candenza
