IEM recommendation's around £200-£250

Hi my current set up for traveling is:
1More Quad Drivers
hidizs s9 pro
Amazon music HD
iPhone 13 Pro Max
I’ve had this a good few years now but fancy an upgrade.
The S9’s been ok (ish) runs very hot & drains the phone battery but that’s not a major issue, the biggest complaint is the sound sometimes drops out and runs through the phone speakers so not ideal on the coach as it comes out loud! It can also ‘crackle’ for no reason, so I don’t tend to use this as much and stick the old dragonfly black on there which hasn’t had any issues (it just doesn’t sound as good)
The quad drivers have been great tbf, my only complaint with these is the noise isolation isn’t good and I’ve tried loads of different tips but it still doesn’t fully block out the outside noise. SQ wise they’re good, but can be a little muddy and bass heavy with the wrong tips fitted.
Amazon music HD. It’s cheap enough at £8.99 p/m, easy to use interface, huge catalogue but even downloaded songs can just stop at times for no reason or you can’t change tracks and have to close the app… which is annoying. Sound quality’s ok, I tried Tidal & Qobuz a few years ago but stuck with Amazon HD, I’ll probably cancel this and go back to Tidal or Qobuz.
I’ve just bought a Chord Mojo, looking to swap Amzn HD next week to one of the above, and looking for a nice IEM’s around £200-£250 to run with the Mojo. Just no idea what’s available/decent vfm & sound these days
I’ve had a couple Shure products in the past, E2C were ok but I want something better, and had the E500PTH years ago but they broke.
