Not on the same level (i.e. way more bass in the IM70). But definitely adequate deep sub-bass in the Doppio. The only BA  bass I've ever heard go toe to toe with a dynamic nearly basshead (or basshead) driver is the custom 1964 EARS Quad. And those BA drivers are vented to get that low. Again, it's tough to compare these different earphones as to which are better (not saying you asked me that here) because they're all great in their on way and have different sound signatures.

Thanks. How does the bass in the Doppio compare to the CKN70 though? Just to get an idea of what it's like.

@ericp10, would you kindly differentiate the Doppios and Heaven V since it's a tie. Many thanks.

 
 
Mainly the V has thicker notes (the Doppio isn't far behind, but it is), and the V is more mid-focused. I think the Doppio has a wider soundstage, but the V has better imaging and spacing between instruments. Both use brass in the inside, but horns sound fuller and more natural to me through the V than the Doppio. Doppio may hav more transparency and clarity since the V is so thick and lush, but I wouldn't say the Doppio is more detailed. Both are very detailed. So the signatures aren't really the same at all but both are quite satisfying.

hohoho...
 
Almost made me pull the trigger on those heavens, since I want to compare it to the im02s before I sell some iems for those fx850s..

Almost...
 
I feel that I might as well save money for the fx850s ASAP. Good comparison eric! 

 

[mochill]

Fx850 FTW!!!!

Fx850 FTW!!!!

Indeed, they look and most likely sound beautiful, I hope to add it in my collection sooner than later.

Thanks ericp10 for the inputs. Sounds like one can't go wrong with either one.

Also, the 850 sounds tempting and will be saving up for it. That will be the woodie I've set my eyes on.

Everyone deserves a woodie

  I use them all the time actually. Doppios are with me when I take the kids to the library and back. Buying groceries. Easy to listen to and easy to enjoy..Doppios have been steady for me the entire time I have had them. Actually I am glad I ended up with these because I am so satisfied with the Doppios I refrained from getting any of the ATH-IM0X phones and ended up with the FX850. Things happen for a reason I suppose.

i just ordered my Doppios from Whiterabbitjapan as a coming home present for myself. looks like i made a smooth move!

Thanks guys for your well wishes and support while i was surviving pneumonia in the hospital for ten days.  Lovely to be home now and have access to a variety of headphones and oems and more music.  gotta credit head-fi and the community for keeping me semi sane while i was in the same room for ten days.

Thank Lord you're alive. Glad to hear you kicking again drblue. It's a great thing you'll be getting those doppios as a celebration, that's a fantastic welcome to your recovery! Welcome back.

I think the driver is for using X3 as a DAC. Can't remember if it's for the computer or the X3 itself though (I think the first).

@ Ericp - thoughts on the above?
