I'm recommending cheap FAAEALs almost everyday :P

Personally I like FAAEAL Snow-Lotus 1.0 more (also have SPC version, no difference), because I find Rosemary's treble to be a bit piercing and fatiguing, although Rosemary is killing it when it comes to details in the price range. Snow-Lotus is a bit calmer, slightly less reverberating, if there is a space between the sounds it feels completely empty. So I kind of like them as a daily driver at PC, next to HD600.

Aside that I'm using Iris Ancestor as a headset for mobile, I do have Iris 2.0, it's the same sound, I like 3 button remote of 2.0 more, but simple straight cable of Ancestor more :P

btw. recently been discovering Qigom S300 White Lotus (300Ohm 109dB/mW). It sounds bright, but not piercing and is not fatiguing, so I just started listening to them and got used to it. Soundstage might be the best for the price, not just bigger than Paiaudio PR1, but also better imagining when it comes to distance. They are currently my choice for comfortable fps gaming (but they are not "tournament grade"). One qualm though, they are particularly good with Sevenhertz 71 (AK4377), but with CX-Pro CX31993 I did feel some fatigue - it is just that one dongle, all the other sources I have are fine. There is also S300 Black Lotus which is said to be more balanced version, so I'm thinking about testing it as well.
