Hi I've been a very longtime Sennheiser user, IE8 to IE80/S to now IE200 and 600. I fell in love with the original IE8 because I loved the warm sound with the airy/wide soundstage. Basically I am looking for whatever the best version of that sound is now. I am not finding it within the current Sennheiser line. The IE600 has the wow factor but is way too spicy and the soundstage is also not particularly wide. The IE200 is relatively balanced and pleasing but lacks bass and overall clarity.

Price doesn't matter within reason, open to any brand, etc. Thank you!!

The Moondrop Blessing 3 is the Sennheiser HD600 of IEMs with smooth response and no harsh treble and good soundstage. The largest soundstage I've heard is the Seeaudio Yume 2 with Dunu S&S tips.
I like the IE600 a lot, but by design the soundstage was nothing to write home about. Great imaging though.

That is really helpful, thank you! Reading up on the Moondrop Blessing 3 and Seeaudio Yume 2 now.

The ie600 would take well to eq, that’d help with the “spice”, no iem has soundstage
