For those IEM enthusiasts here, please help!
I currently have the V-Moda ZN as my daily IEM drivers (I use IEM's 2-4hours a day commuting to work and during breaks)
 
I need an upgrade under 1000$ (The cheaper the better!)
I adore mids in my music so I don't mind boosted mids
Good bass, sparkly highs, great soundstage (If there is an IEM that has a soundstage as good as the HD800 then I want that!)

The Dulce Bass from Noble has really forward mids, amazing with vocals, they are really clear and crisp, its the heaviest bass model in their line. But dont freak, I didn't find it bass heavy at all, priced at $699 for the universal. It wont hang with the soundstage of the HD800, you would need to go way up in price to a K10.

Thanks for the suggestion!
I'm quite curious though if its really possible for an iem to produce such a soundstage.
I have lots of headphones ranging from 100-1600$ you see, also quite a few IEMS but all below 200$ 
I was wondering what the experience from a high tier IEM would be and if it is really possible.
 
I've been pondering about buying one but I think I really need it because its what I listen to most of the time anyways.
I just cant go out commuting to work with a big headphone on my head.
 
I somehow want to justify though if my purchase would be worth it.

All I can really say is read the reviews of the K10, plenty have it hanging with the big boys in the full size category. I am surprised no one else has given any suggestions, I know the Noble line, so thats why I am trying to help with them.
