Bought mine from a local audio shop. If you are in Canada, they ship country-wide https://www.quebecacoustic.com/en/product/thieaudio-valhalla/ They have 2 units in stock

The Thieaudio Valhalla performs very well in this regard. Furthermore, true open-back IEMs like the Fosi Audio IM4 or the Tangzu YuXuanJi should also provide an excellent soundstage.

IE600s are notoriously v-shaped IEMs that are pretty far out from neutral with exaggerated bass and treble. In terms of form factor there isn't really a like-for-like replacement for something as small as the IEs. Some additional recommendations worth checking out: Aful Dawn-X, laid-back and natural sound, almost inoffensive. Symphonium Crimson, aggressively fun like the IE600. 4 BAs make it one of the simplest constructions in that price range. Symphonium Europa, a more balanced brother to the Crimson. Letshuoer Mystic 8, very dry tonality but that's also what makes it special. A statement piece of an IEM. Actually close to neutral, as in, most people will find there's too little bass. Yu9 Que, if you could get your hands on one. The hype mainly comes from its price-performance ability and it could absolutely go toe-to-toe with many $1k sets, though I find its tuning stereotypical. It's a solid all-rounder choice if I don't know what your tuning prefs are. 64audio Tia Trio, if you're considering the U12t already you could also consider this. Some of the best bass I've heard in an IEM bar none. U12t sounds boring by comparison. Sony IER-M9, another laid-back oldie and a perennial competitor to the IE600. Depending on where you are, they could be had for cheap. Warm neutral presentation with treble boost, dynamics are its Achilles heel. Thieaudio Valhalla, much more refined v-shape presentation than the Monarch MkIV and more comfortable. Given your budget goes up to $2k, this is very much worth checking out. In terms of fit, Thieaudios are notorious for big shells and contentious comfort, so the advice is always to try before you buy if you could. You'd have the best luck with 64audio, maybe Symphonium, but Symphoniums will take some time getting used to because they aren't vented.

I just got the Valhallas today and I just got done listening to music for 4 hours straight. I'm not exactly "educated" when it comes to talking and explaining "audio terms". Just know I went from using a $35 pair of IEMs, then a $100 pair, then a $330 which were the Dunu 242. Then after thinking about it I decided to say "screw it" and returned/sold all my previous IEMs/Headphones and bought these magnificent bastards. After tonight, I no longer hear songs, I'm learning them. I can sense every direction that the instruments are coming from. Every song I listen to now has layers for every little thing. The bass doesn't mix in with the everything else now, but instead it has its own layer. I feel as if I'm in the recording room WITH the singer. When I listen to music with drums and guitars, I feel the vibrations. I can now picture the guitar string vibration when and when the stick hits the drum. The metal thingys don't just go "tss tss tss", but instead I can picture in my head the metal hitting against each other. I went to listen to old YouTube music from back in the day and I could hear all the imperfections. Some songs had bad audio balancing. The biggest thing I noticed was that, in those old YouTube songs, all the instrument were in 1 spot the entire time. There was no "adventure". Everything with these just sounds perfect. Again, I'm no audio engineering or expert. I'm just a guy who wanted to hear what the best of the best had to offer and I must say my expectations were not only met, but blown out of the atmosphere. Thanks for reading my very amateur review lol.

THIEAUDIO Valhallas, perfect Endgame.

i like the AFUL Performer 5 a lot, but the Valhalla is amazing

Well that's what get with smooth but technical highs. A year ago I listened to several kilobuck IEM's the Thieaudio Valhalla and the Glaciers stood out to me. I listened to the Valhalla more than twice the time but the Glaciers were in my head until I finally bought them mostly because of the soundstage.
