I've never tried IEMs before. I know they're mainly geared towards musicians, but would it be worth it to go with these for just listening to music? I like good quality audio, but I'm not exactly looking to be running dedicated high-end amps to power them. I also know that Bluetooth won't exactly give you quality audio, but would these have more dynamic sound over things like Galaxy Buds2, Beats Buds, etc?

As an additional bonus, five drivers means I can lower the volume by more than half to get the same sound.
These models are on sale because they are being discontinued in favor of newer models.

Perfect Seal -- https://perfect-seal.com -- they did a re-re-shell of my Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10s I bought from a SlickDeal back in 2010, as well as a pair of JH Audio JH13v2 I bought on eBay.
Mike and his team are wonderful to work with, but he's really busy at times, so plan accordingly.

ItsFit Labs -- https://itsfitlab.com -- they reshelled a pair of Noble Katanas for me, which turned out really nicely (see attachment). Kien does nice work, and has quick turnarounds once he gets the IEMs.
If you're in the US, the downside is that they're in Vietnam, and you've gotta get stuff through Vietnamese customs to their lab, which can be... tricky (aka, bribe Customs if they've flagged your package).
So, with 3 reshells done, I can say that all of them are great, and if I have a preference for 1 vs another, it's because of the the IEM, not the shells. All are comfortable, all durable enough (so far), and provide a great seal.
HTH
