as much as I love my IE80 I think it's a problem if our main champion is a guy who likes it only after disabling the adjustable bass port and hears a signature completely different than original intented (that and he's moving on )
I remember years ago IE8 was touted as one of the ultimate IEM for bass heads, and usually bass head IEMs are associated with recessed/veiled mids... so perhaps you're just looking for a different signature.
Personally I tried to turn the bass dial down to minimum to see if there was more detail and it became more sibilant than I could bear (and I can't really stand fingers sliding on guitar strings either) so now it's back to mid notch.
