Im curious if there are any iems with an open-back headphone type of sound. Very curious.

Ill 2nd that. The ex1000 sounds very open to me.

Ie8 as well, but the consensus these days is its a step behind.

Tossing my hat in the ring with the Ocharaku Flat-4, which projects a seemingly mammoth space, in terms of perceived width and depth.

All are too much, ill probably just get the RE-400.
 
I just hate that 'in your head' sound. It gives me headaches.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

Ex600 does have a really nice wide stage, almost full sized can like actually. And the going price for the 600 isn't all that much more than the RE400 actually.

Bad reviews on comfort? 
 
hmph i wish the RE-400 had some good soundstage because its totally up my alley in the signature/

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

The Ex600 is quite comfortable actually, to me anyway. Getting a fit can be finicky is all, but you get used to it. Isolation isn't the best, and unless you cinch up the chin slider, they are prone to jostling

+1 for the EX600 or EX1000. Although isolation is not the best, it's very comfy to wear in my case and you feel almost weightless or non existence for extended long hrs of usage. It's also easier to put on/take off due to its shape.
 
Oh yes the sound stage is BIG.

If you say EX600/EX1000 has a big soundstage, most probably EX1000 is your only high-endish IEM and you definitely didnt hear anything else.

So, the one I already mentioned like 5 posts ago?  I guess my question was geared toward the guy saying that "you haven't heard any high end IEMs if you think the EX1000 has a big soundstage",  but then he fails to provide any useful information such as which IEMs those might be.

Not disparage the Ex600 at all, but to my ears, the Flat-4 hands down
