I started my quest to find budget iems with good soundstage characteristics. I now have a little more “critical listening” experience thanks to this thread, Ways to Learn / Teach to Be a Better Listener.
I am learning that a “good soundstage” has several factors for consideration. I am beginning to realize that the width of sound is not the only factor. I am now listening for the depth airiness and height of the stage and if the music is perceived to have an external presence and not just inside my head. For more intimate music, the depth and height seem more important. Also, I am discovering separation and the precise location of instruments and vocals is important to my listening experience. It is quite a juggling act to tune all these characteristics in one pair of iems!
I am thankful for this forum and other members that share a passion for good music.
So, with my new soundstage, version 1.01 clarification, are there any other recommendations?
John
