I am in the market for a new pair of $100 IEMs. I am coming from bass-heavy IEMs so I'm after something which will let me feel the bass. I am leaning towards the SoundMAGIC PL50 but the appreciation thread has some mixed feelings about the low-end. I'm also interested in the Etymotic MC5 because of the build quality - has anyone got a good bass kick from the MC5s by getting a good seal on the tips? If the bass response on the etymotics are strong I'd buy them over the PL50. What are your thoughts on those IEMs in terms of low-end response. Would you recommend either one or a different IEM completely?
I also need good isolation which the etymotics are renowned for, by my ear canals are small and "L" shaped, making it really difficult to fit those tri flanges. Anyone else had problems with insertion depth of the etymotics? Are they still usable for people with small ear canals?
