Which IEM's Have the Best Soundstage?
Aug 1, 2009 at 4:31 AM Post #91 of 98
I am really fishing for the very best soundstage at this point. It would just have to be the JH-13 Pros. Yet, since I have never heard them, I am hoping that someone who has these and some other top-flight IEM's, could do a comparison test here. Another thought I had is that I think it would be interesting to make an IEM that can both be used standard or open-backed in order to widen the headstage.

IE8! isolation is good with me. this issue seems to be very subjective with different kinds of ears. in my case. Im enjoying my magnificent soundstage and getting a good seal as well... ^^

I know this thread is old but I'm curious...
 
Best soundstage today??
 
I purchased the 535's and thought they were terrible, traded them for UE 900's and thought those were better. Now I have Westone 4R's and love them much more than the UE 900's - but am always wondering what else is out there lol
 
I also notice that, for me personally, the rubber tips vs the foam ones for all my headphones sound much better. is that odd or is it an indicator I enjoy a specific type of sound?
 
Thanks!

no this isnt odd. i noticed the same thing with my westone 4r, i tried the shure olives and noticed that the mids and highs didnt extend quite like i expected them to. i then took the olives off and put the silicone westone tips on and the sound was improved 10 fold.
 
i noticed this too with comply tips, comply tips are extremely comfortable however they seem to veil the sound and cloud the mids and highs. thus i never use foam,olives or comply....only silicone
