I share this enthusiasm... ATH-IM02 is one of my favorite historical IEMs regardless of driver configuration (admittedly this could be some type of IEM nostalgia/rose tinted glasses effect), but out of production and I found the successor LS200 decent but disappointing. I have read that the Stagediver SD2 shares the IM02's drivers and measures similarly- hope to get around to trying that some day.

Currently have the Q-Jays v2 and the Earsonics ES2, which I enjoy but can't recommend without certain caveats- really depends on what you are looking for sound-wise. I think the JH Billie Jean is worth looking into as well but have personally only heard as a demo.

QDC Mona Lisa looks interesting... I'm always confused by their naming schemes. Do you have any particular favorites?

Hello! I love how they prove that more does not mean better
I’ll be sure to check out your recommendations and I’m really grateful for that!

My daily driver used to be the UE Superfi 5 Pro till one of the drivers blew.

And yes I have tried the JH Billie Jean and it was really good! Just hoping to have a feel around a couple more before I settle on them or the Mona Lisa’s. A couple more that I’ve tried would be the Campfire IO, UE5 Pro, IKKO OH1, Kinera Idun, Shure SE425 and Tin Hifi T2.

I enjoy smooth mids with lively vocals and sparkly highs that are not sibilant and definitely enjoy a wide soundstage with good imaging.

I for one am confused by the naming scheme by QDC but so far the ones I’ve tried would be the Neptunes (Single BA), Uranus (Single BA + 1DD) and lastly the Mona Lisa (Dual BAs)
