Please suggest me an IEM(s) for gaming fps which has good soundstage and imaging required for FPS games.
Budget ideally would be 50$ may push to 100$ if its really worth it else stay within that range.
Honestly I think u would have better soundstage from an open backed headphone. Most IEMs are weak in soundstage compared to headphones, especially at the budget segment. And those IEMs that do have slightly wider soundstage usually are vented or openbacked and have weaker isolation. And some IEMs may have weaknesses in spatial cues too as they are bypassing the external ear and sometimes it is not accurate (U wouldn't want wrong positioning in FPS games I would presume).
mine is still on the way but from review and comparison with v90 they should be better. even v90 and KZ ZSX should be quiet decent. but isolation wise maybe ZSX is better

Very True about Spatial Imaging, that's why I struggle to find IEMs for FPS to be used on the go. Hence a portable option is required.
Any IEM you find worth going for the purpose ?
Thanks for the Reply .

I tried the KZ ZS10 Pro previously for a short period of casual gaming, but I did find the soundstage and spatial cues to be very compressed for the purposes of gaming. So it is quite hard to separate footsteps that come from behind u. I don't really play much FPS, but I'm sure others may have better advise for IEMs for gaming.
U considered open back headphones? There are some cheap budget CHIFI options that ain't too bad for sound quality.

Mine is yet to be arrived but based on my v90, even though their timbre weren't at best on rendering, they sounded very smooth and not fatiguing at all. Expect a bit bright but smooth presentation, on crisp a bit dry presentation. But the BA5 from what I've read, their strong point is on separation, clarity and soundstage - imaging.
I do feel TRN BAs are slightly better than KZ, at least they are smoother and not edgy.
Edited : oh and more forwarded midrange is 1 of my buying factor
I will post my impressions about BA5 when they are arrived, not in a close time though
Ah ok, thanks for the heads up. Today I've read there's a BL03 MKII in the making too, so back to sitting on my hands and waiting for more single DDs to come out, and reviews to flow in. If they tighten the driver, lower the bass a bit and make a longer nozzle it's going to be pretty damn good for sure.

you got it right: dry, smoothly bright transparent timbre, and sure better and less shouty than KZ (bellsing?) BA's.
its really a matter of flavor appreciation. Knowles are thick, smooth, natural sounding but sometime lack definition sharpness...nothing is perfect....
Supposed that @KopiOkaya has tuned/or helped TRN to tune BA5. He can answer better on what to expect from this set. Although having 3 (!!!) same 30095 tweeters inside BA5 could have been a mother of sibilance, i read somewhere that they are moved deeper inside the shell giving smooth high freq response contrary to usual practice of placing tweeter inside nozzle right at the opening (like in CCA C12).
