For me over ear always sounds better than in ear.
I went extreme TOTL for in ear set up and just was not satisfied due to limitations of IEMS. Just my opinion but some people love in ears.
IEMs did improve a lot over the years.
I had the u18t, sp2000, and a pw1950 cable. That retails for 7000 together roughly and it didn’t do it for me.
General rule is speakers over headphones over IEMS, but everyone has their own preferences.
