Have to disagree with your take. A pair of Bathys i use on the commute are audiophile all right. May not be too budget, but that is subjective. The AKGs k371bt i ran before did produce some positive vibes as well, and these were certainly a budget pair.
Can you get a better sound for less money with wired IEMs? Certainly. But you do lose the comfort of no wires. Sacrifices must be made…
You really should see a doctor with this!
