price range?

Anything up to $300 - $400. If the IEM can be found below this price range so I would have no issues.

Yes that's correct and the os v3 really helps out for playing cod aswell. And no I am one of the very unusual ones on headfi as I don't listen to music but I can assure you I put any iem under intense pressure through my testing methods. So you wont need to worry about if I'm making the most out of them.

A little bit of context about what you listen to helps

IEM with neutral sound signature without any peaks and dips with wide soundstage and great instrument separation?

Anyone?

Ok, with your budget I'd look at the following.

$50 bracket - BQEYZ kc2 (near neutral and as good as it gets under $50. Tin Audio T2 lost out due to treble peak you were wanting to avoid)
$200 bracket - Brainwavz b400 (not the most extended but very well behaved)
$300 bracket FLC 8s (filters give you a ton of signature options on an already very good base sound)

Running through London, England, the by far most visible earphones were the white Apple buds/pods (some wireless) Despite the tight "tube", commuters appeared to rely more on headphones than on earphones...with Bose taking the lead, followed by Sony...then, after a gap, we saw Marshall, Beats, and the odd Sennheiser.

I did not see @HungryPanda or some other like-minded Head-Fiers with fancy Toneking, iBasso, or Brainwavz models.

I saw a student walking around campus wearing a pair of Ultrasones one day and Focal Listens a few days later. I felt such school pride in that moment!

Can't go wrong with the Etymotic ER4SR. Neutral at its best!

That's cool... Overall the os v3 is easily the best iem I have ever heard and is really universal. If your ok with good but not great mids then the rest of the sound is an absolute treat. The more I listen to them I am starting to love the treble mastery. It's soo soothing, detailed and theres good energy in the sound at all times.

Glad to see you enjoying the OS V3. The OE8 is another brilliant IEM from HiFi BOY albeit fetching a higher price.

HiFi BOY OE8 & OS V3!

Thanks... it was all thanks to you yet again. I find your reviews rather accurate to what I hear, really friendly and helpful person aswell.

Also you are soo lucky, that costs 1000 dollars. I am not looking forward to your review on that as i am not interested haha but it does look great!

My review of the NICEHCK EP35 is up.

Thank you for your suggestions. I hope it doesn't have peakiness in treble and lean and dry bass.

Ok, with your budget I'd look at the following.

$50 bracket - BQEYZ kc2 (near neutral and as good as it gets under $50. Tin Audio T2 lost out due to treble peak you were wanting to avoid)
$200 bracket - Brainwavz b400 (not the most extended but very well behaved)
$300 bracket FLC 8s (filters give you a ton of signature options on an already very good base sound)

I already have K2, KC2, T2. I also have Binary Acoustics Unicorn. I likes all these so basically I am looking for big considerable upgrade in sound quality.

I'd go straight for the FLC 8s then. Better extension than the B400 on both ends and customizable to your liking. There is a reason they seldom come up on the sales threads and that is because those of us who have them are not letting them go.

I would recommend the new FLC8N!

yup, second that. my flc8s will stay with me forever.
other upgrades while in neutral side (reviews point to this, at least) could be BGVP DM6, Toneking T4, and Tenhz P4 Pro/Audbos P4,

Do you think that the B400 has a wide soundstage?

 

[phthora]

Calling the B400 neutral seems like a stretch to me...
