I decided to pull the trigger on the pioneer CH9T, the wait begins

Anyone knows of any extremely wide and strong imaging chifi iem/headphone?

The Eternal Melody EM-2 has got a really wide soundstage, however it's not exactly in the budget/ultra budget price range.

I just visit the EM site and they have some really interesting range of iems,

Thanks, its kinda above my budget of 200USD but will consider it. There's that new BrainWavz B400 with apparently awesome soundstage which I'm quite interested in as well.

The B400 is a nice IEM, especially for its price. I wouldn't call its soundstage awesome though - it is definitely above average and rather three-dimensional, and among the best soundstages for a multi-BA IEM below $300, however it (the imaging) still lacks a bit of precision. Not that I would complain at all though (most sub $300 multi-BA IEMs don't image as well).

The EM- has got a wider soundstage. It doesn't really have much (if any) spatial depth though. But maaan, that width is quite incredible for an IEM and separation/precision are certainly there, too.

For imaging and soundstage, the Pai Audio MR3 would be within your budget and has got a large, three-dimensional and authentic stage with good precision. I can definitely recommend it to those who are looking for a sound signature that heads a bit more into the neutral direction with a little extra brightness.

Have you reviewed the Pai Audio MR3,??

 

[HiFiChris]

Have you reviewed the Pai Audio MR3,??

Yes, I have. Review links should be in the Pai Audio thread (https://www.head-fi.org/threads/π-audio-pai-audio.781399/).

I'd probably want to buy them if they were still at the same price as when you reviewed them but they've gone up 46% since then, which I think is a bit steep over just 2 years.

Oo sounds like a good budget option, is the imaging very precise and accurate?

I just checked the Penon Audio Store and the price is $199 .

Kinera H3?? They're like 80 bucks on Massdrop.

That was a brain fart. I was talking about a different IEM.

Yes, I'd say that. Probably the best I've heard on those parameters under at least $100. You can add to that the widest soundstage I've heard under at least $200. They're a bit hard to drive though so something more than a phone would be preferable.

Wow that impressive? Think I'll demo it sometime when I have the time. Thanks for the recommendation!
