I'm looking for an IEM with as wide a soundstage as possible.

I'll be using these primarily with my Sound Blaster E5, Ultrasone Naos and LG V20b and occasionally with my Geek Out 1000.

I primarily use the Cardas A8, Tin T2 and KZ ZS10 pro earphones.

Want more info just ask.

The technical answer to your question is Audeze's earphones, since they're the only open-back earphones.

What's you're budget and how forward do you like vocals?



Cheap: Blon bl-03 is quite large but vocals sound far away. **** **** pro is good.
Cheap-ish : urbanfun ybf isso14 is all around excellent. Bqeyz bq3 is also great but tuning isn't as mature.
Mid level: TRI I3 is essentially as good as it gets. This might actually be my top pick. Haven't heard the ISN H40 but it also garners praise.
Expensive: ibasso it04, Andromeda are both good.

Gotta agree with @SciOC that **** and BLON BL-03 at budget segment ain't bad for soundstage, but they lack in isolation. Also consider the Jade Audio EA3 but this is a treblehead set, so not for treble sensitive folks. DUNU DM-480 has wide soundstage too.

For midfi pricing, u can consider Toneking Ninetails, TRI I3, Audiosense T800. TRI I3 as SciOC says has superb soundstage that is quite holographic, though this is with a powerful source, as the planars inside need some juice.

Good luck with your search.

Thanks for the help guys

I might start by getting a pair of Blon BL-03's and perhaps the TRI I3's. Does anyone know anywhere to get these other than Aliexpress in Australia.

FYI: I ask about this as I don't use closed back headphones. I've found that at home I only use open back and anywhere that I would need the isolation or lack of leakage that closed back's provide IEM's are so much better thanks to the portability.

Thanks
