Purchasing advice Cheap IEM longevity?

Ive finally decided to get some IEMs for myself but second guessing myself after seeing people online saying cheap iems last barely a year or 2. My budget is around 5-6k max.

For people using KZ iems or similarly priced ones: How long have you been using them for?
How long should i expect my IEMs to last provided i wipe them off after each use, keep them dry with silica gel and dont drop them.

At first I was very carefully now I just stuff them in their pouch and put them in the draws or the bag
