What are some of the least-IEM-sounding full-size headphones below $100?
In other words, what headphones make characteristics that IEMs cannot achieve really stand out?

i will have to say Sennheiser PX-100 or Koss Porta Pros.

Probably the ATH-AD700. That's definitely the kind of sound I can't see an IEM producing.

is it due to its sound stage? But its open design seems to also produce less bass quantity.... The basshead in me can't live without some booming sound.

How does Audio-Technica ATH-M50 compare with top tier IEMs? Much better in any respect?
