What earbuds are you using with the Rift-S?

I have a pair of Sennheiser open-back headphones, but they are a tad bulky using with the Rift-S, may have to get some earbuds (IEM). 

I have NO experience with this 'style' of sound but I've heard good things? Any recommendations? I've been looking at the 1More Triple Drivers, the Klipsch R6-II, and the Tin T3's so far...

I'm using these wireless earbuds:
They stay in my ears securely and sound quality is nice for $20 (plus $10 if you need a Bluetooth dongle).

As a low budget SoundBuds Slim perfect selection.

I'm worried that using IEM will really limit the soundstage and directional audio while being used with the Rift-S... is this true??

I think IEMs have the best sound but maybe that is just me.

It really depends on how the developer is setting up the spatial sound processing. If they are implementing HRTF simulation then IEM will have a better sound than over the ear or open since the HRTF accounts for pinna. If you use open style headphones you would be doubling up on the pinna effect. I am not sure how many developers are bothering to go that far but it will have a marked effect on audio for VR.

I am very pleased with my Klipsch R6 II earbuds.
