Soundstage is not something IEMs shine in. You may get a little better separation in higher-end models but the upgrade in that regard is marginal.

I would look into multi-driver IEMs that can achieve a better treble extension and thus a better sense of clarity, space and separation. Under $100 you have the Truthear Hexa and for around $350 you have the Moondrop Blessing 2 (I recommend the Dusk version), thought if you plan to spend that amount I would encourage you to save a little more and go with the Moondrop Variations (a reference in sound and arguably the best "objective" tuning).

The Moondrop Aria is harman-neutral to warm/dark in tuning, that's why you may sense it to sound congested and not detailed enough.

Yes i agree with the neutral to warm/dark , do you have any other recommendation aside from the Moondrop brands?

Not really, at least not something I would recommend.

Though I would encourage you to learn to understand frequency response graphs, so you can make more informed and conscious purchases and not rely only on subjective impressions that can vary widely and not end up meeting your expectations.
