Soundstage is very important.
Can be wired or wireless.
Should provide some level of sound isolation from the environment.
Price is no bar. Doesn't mean I'm made up of money or have kidneys to sell.
Flipkart, Amazon, Headphonezone.in is running a sale so we have some attractive options there aswell.

Have been using Final VR3000 for about a year. Soundstage is awesome for an IEM, that too at this price point. Not much isolation; the edgy design gets uncomfortable after a while.
Used to own 1Custom Junior. Best in terms of comfort & isolation (at least for my ears). But soundstage felt like it is designed for imaging different instruments in music rather than gaming.
Have tried IE 300; for about a week from TheAudioStore. Sound reproduction, particularly bass, was far superior to both; while soundstage felt similar to Final's.

P.S. All from using with just my phone's (K20Pro) and Macbook's DAC; obviously only the phone for gaming.

That HPZ sale is misleading. Senn themselves are selling at the same price. Better to buy from Amazon using card offers.
Grest earphones, otherwise.

@mods kindly close the thread
Edit:-

Okay, so they sound great with EQ. But sound stage is not good enough for gaming or not what I was looking for.

I tried getting the best out of these using 2 different DAC 's and still I stand by my opinion. Even with after market eartips like the Dunu S&S Silicone;
Soundstage is lacking.

I'm not an experienced audiophile, but I don't believe you should have been looking at IEMs for an expansive sound stage. I just realized it was stated as a requirement in your initial post. I may stand corrected, but open-back headphones are what you're looking for if your primary use-case is indoors and you want a wide sound stage.

No problem bro.
But I have started things like outdoor gaming, isolation from the environment, wide soundstage.
Openbacks leak sound and can't be used outdoors. And they get hot.

These are super comfortable.
Little shouty but nothing EQ can't fix.
Now I've invested 9k in them and to be honest they are fine for music, Just not for gaming.
