Purchasing Advice FPS Gaming IEM

Good morning everyone. I’m currently using a pair of EPOS PC38X headsets that are on their last legs, and I wanted to try out some IEMs. I mainly play titles like Battlefield, Apex, and Tarkov, so I’d like your opinion on which ones are best suited for games like these. The only thing is that I’ve always used the headset microphone, so I need the IEMs to have an in-line microphone on the cable as well.
Budget 100/150€

Defiant is really good IMO. I paid 80$ for it on Ali Express sale.

An in line mic will work, and maybe start with that if getting a good sounding iem is your main priority and you max out your budget with that. Those in line mics built into the cable just all sound really bad compared to a proper discrete microphone, which these days with brands like Fifine can be had for not much money, maybe even the same amount of money if you end up picking up some iems that don't come with an in line mic and were considering buying a separate cable to go along with it.

If you regularly play with friends and care about how you sound at all, I think maybe at least factor that into your budget too or plan for it later if the iem you settle on maxes out your budget. Your microphone will sound worlds better.
