For earbuds, Just get an anker soundcore. It rated very high, but somehow sold very cheap Malaysia
Souncore liberty anc 4 good sound quality, noise cancelation and batery life..
Anything more expensive has deminishing return for the amount you spent.
I’ve been using the APP2 for a month, and it’s definitely worth it compared to my older earbuds (Soundcore A20i, R50i, WF-1000XM3, and original AirPods). The tuning and soundstage are better out of the box, the ANC is on another level, and the fit is more comfortable for me.
As for the APP3, I don’t own them, but I’ve heard the redesigned shell can be hit-or-miss for comfort. They have stronger ANC thanks to the silicon + foam tips, a wider soundstage, and a more V-shaped tuning (with recessed mids). I got my APP2 on promotion, not sure if that deal is still around.

Can't help you decide between Moondrop (not familiar) and Nothing, but if Nothing's already within your budget then you can drop CMF from the list since it's basically Nothing's budget sub-brand.
I can say that Nothing earbuds definitely punch above their weight and are pretty good value for money.

Last mentioned: 4 months agoYou better try them out before buying them. Personally, I value fit and comfort before the sound. Might be a weird take but I prefer to use mine for hours before I feel uncomfortable.
I have pretty small ears so a lot of these don't really fit nicely to my ears. I have the Moondrop Golden Age and Space travel; both sounds great but I could only wear them for about an hour before they hurt my ears.
I ended up with the Samsung buds 2 pro. Small and fits nicely in my ears. I could wear those to sleep easily. They have pretty long lasting batteries and if you have an app to EQ, they sound amazing with upgraded eartips. Though, it is a little pricier than what you were looking for. I got mine for about RM180 (like new) from Carousell.

Wait for 7.7 and buy during promotion can good midrange for the price.
I'm not an audiophile as well so a few things i considered were:
Fit: my earlobe is a bit weirdly shaped. So best fit for me so far is jabra, samsung buds plus, tribit, and havit. Edifier, mpow, soundpeats doesnt fit me well.
Physical button vs touch: i prefer physical but must have good water resistance at least for sweat. Jabra and tribit best for me.

Moondrop always has the best box graphics in iem.

Last mentioned: 4 months agoYou better try them out before buying them. Personally, I value fit and comfort before the sound. Might be a weird take but I prefer to use mine for hours before I feel uncomfortable.
I have pretty small ears so a lot of these don't really fit nicely to my ears. I have the Moondrop Golden Age and Space travel; both sounds great but I could only wear them for about an hour before they hurt my ears.
I ended up with the Samsung buds 2 pro. Small and fits nicely in my ears. I could wear those to sleep easily. They have pretty long lasting batteries and if you have an app to EQ, they sound amazing with upgraded eartips. Though, it is a little pricier than what you were looking for. I got mine for about RM180 (like new) from Carousell.

Last mentioned: 1 month agoLike all electronics, I keep the box for resale value. You can also use it as a display piece since it has nice art on it. For me, Tanchjim is my favourite audio brand ♥️
On budget, just get the Tanchjim Bunny 3.5 or dsp version. Such a banger, good quality iem.
It only lacks mic and customisation for Iphone user. Just get this one, not even rm150 u will get high quality iem.

Keep it, the box is too pretty to be thrown away.
I fucking love IEMs. I love how the cable is detachable and you can replace it if it breaks. I literally turned my Moondrop Chu 2 into wireless with TRN BT20 Pro IEM bluetooth adapter. I don't think I'll ever go back to normal earbuds. ♥️

or get wired iem eg. Tangzu Waner/Moondrop Chu2 rm75/rm85 + 3.5mm adapter maybe rm20?, bluetooth tws need to charge, wired no need charge, with good eartip good seal it is comparable to ANC
You said RM500 max budget. I would add RM130 - RM150+- more for Oneplus buds 3 pro.

Last mentioned: 1 year ago100 and 200 a few notable brands available instead of those weird chinese brands. Look for brands like:
Skullcandy
Edifier
Jabra
Tribit
Wait for 7.7 and buy during promotion can good midrange for the price.
I'm not an audiophile as well so a few things i considered were:
Fit: my earlobe is a bit weirdly shaped. So best fit for me so far is jabra, samsung buds plus, tribit, and havit. Edifier, mpow, soundpeats doesnt fit me well.
Physical button vs touch: i prefer physical but must have good water resistance at least for sweat. Jabra and tribit best for me.
try looking at Skullcandy Dime (since you mentioned bass)

The buds FE are the cheapest of the Samsung buds.
