The soundstage is enchanting. Its almost as if there are audio fairies that live inside the shells and from time time do the most magical placing of instruments.

You statement was 100% perfect when you said ' there are better IEM's out there but when I use them I have no desire to buy a better IEM '

Yup, quite magical IEM's (our little secret
