It has more in common with the excellent tralucent 1plus2 bass (not quite as tight as the 1plus2) than other, lesser IEMs.


I agree the MDR-7550 does have some nice bass. It has good quality and quantity. Not as controlled as the EX1000 but I prefer it more due to the quantity and listenable sound :). Very good value for the money.

From memory I would say the 7550 is not super strong in the sub bass department but very good all around sound wise. The XBA3/30 has better sub bass IMO and is similar in quality sound wise to the 7550 but different. The 7550 is wider sounding and is more neutral and the better all rounder. The XBA3/30 is more intimate, has deeper harder hitting bass. But can be a bit harsh in the treble (XBA30 is supposed to fix this issue). The XBA has better isolation but also has more microphonics.

If you are looking for bass head IEMs look into JVC FX700, IE80. The Sonys are more so on the balanced side of things. The have bass but I don't consider them bass heavy if that is what you are after.
