Reply to comment by AnotherSpecificDuck in Quick question why do we not see coaxial speakers in headphones that often? by Drago-0900

So why do IEMs do it when wouldnt headphones stand to benefit the most from it, being able to have the lows and mids on the woofer and a tweeter to do all the highs?

Probably space and positions of the speakers. In an IEM the sound goes right inside your ears. Speakers stand in your room far enough away to not make the sound come from different angles. Having the drivers close to your ear in different positions may make the sound come from different angles and thus making positional audio worse.

Other than that it’s probably just not as practical.

You can also take a look into the 1 more Tripple

Are there IEMs with multiple dynamic drivers though? I don't think I know any.

So a gaming headset. Reminds me of the 5.1 gaming craze we had a while ago with multi-driver, multi-channel headphones.
