I've liked IEMs for music on the go, but at home I'd rather a set of tin cans. No idea about gaming with them though. I've never tried high end IEMs to know when they start really taking off. I don't know where the Sennheiser IEMs I tried 8+ years ago might rank vs the average IEMs available today, and I seem to recall the minimum quality of IEMs has increased rapidly in the last few years.
I seem to recall IEM sound was really good, but sound stage wise, it was a bit small. Like it'd be great for a studio recording, but an orchestra or concert hall wouldn't be completely there. It was honestly like hearing certain nuance things better and others less (but not exactly an overall worse experience). Maybe sorta like a situation where there's 3D effect vs none? IIRC IEM vs headphone was kinda different in their own way but not necessarily one is hands down better than the other. Maybe as if I have high end bookshelf speakers 2.0 set up vs a mid end 3.1 speakers set up? But also not sure if it was a limitation of the lower end model IEM I tried.
I believe up to around the $150-250 mark, I think IEMs can provide good value, but $200+, unless it's a very specific situation or for compact travel/portability reasons, I'm personally thinking a pair of headphones will still generally be better for everyday use than IEMs (ie: Desktop gaming and music).
I'd love to know what you think as a comparison of IEM vs Airpod compared to something like Razer 3D head tracking vs no 3D head tracking for games vs movies vs music.
