So I'm looking for the best IEM for EDM with a budget of $1000 - $2000. I've tried searching on here, but couldn't find people with this high of a budget...
 
My only requirements is that it is not a CIEM (aka not custom).
 
Thanks for any recommendations!
 
EDIT: I was thinking maybe Sennheiser IE 800 or AKG K3003? Lmk what you guys think!

Higher price doesnt mean it will be best for EDM. Many high priced iems peopke are listening to a female singer playing a piano. You want the bass to hit deep and be impactful? You want clear smooth silky mids ? Detailed extended treble that is not too sharp ? You want a huge sound stage ? Great fit with good isolation ? Want to be able to change cables ?

Rhapsodio Galaxy seems like it would fit your requirements well

I've previously had the Westone 3, but eventually sold it because I wasn't too fond of it.
 
Yes, I want the bass to hit deep and impactful. Clear smooth silky mids. I do not want sharp treble. Sound stage is not important to me. I thought great fit was pretty much standard for most highly rated IEM's?

 Isolation is not important to me. Doesn't need to have the ability to change cables.
 
Thanks.
 
EDIT: I currently have the Piston 2 & 3, which I both like... But obviously don't compare to my headphones I currently have (TH-900, X2). I had the Westone 3, and thought they sounded great, but they didn't really blow my mind. I ended up selling it because I didn't use it as much as I'd like to as well. I put in enough hours into them to go past any burn-in period (if the Westone 3's even have one)...
