I have tried a few IEMs that were said to have decent soundstages, but when I listened to them in crowded areas (in a casino, specifically) they sounded distant or muffled and made me feel as if I was not "in" the music.
Songs sounded better on my stock CAR stereo because they seemed to put me right in the middle of the sounds, making them feel highly immersive.
It is hard for me to describe sound, so I'll use the terms defined in this guide:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/220770/describing-sound-a-glossary
I want:
Direct clarity
Airy
Open
Lush, Rich, Full
3-dimensional (I think I want this, but I'm not completely sure of its definition...)
I do not want:
Closed
Distant
Hollow
Muffled
Help me find what I'm looking for! I've been told of the Senn IE8s but their below average isolation and boomy bass turn me off...
