Sennheiser CX300, V-moda bass freq, Shure SE420, bose tri port are great too. BTW if you realy want to enjoy bassheavy music then upgrade your source too. I think 2G ipod nano and iriver H320 bass output are realy great.

Ahh, I'm going to be pairing these headphones with a Meizu M6.

i'm a basshead too. audiophile01, since i got the amp and ep630. what you don't like about the combo? a super fi pro wouldn't give you THAT much bass in terms of quantity. quality though. if ep630 is 5, then super fi pro is 6 or probably 6.5. k81 is 8.5.

Ahh, I've been carrying my C&C/k81DJ/Zune around & it's just too much to carry around. I was pretty excited at first, but then it got too troublesome to change songs, adjust volume, etc. I just want some IEM's and something more smaller, hence the Meizu. EP630's are okay to me, but I want something new to try that's around 100-200$ range with bassss. But ahhh, your giving me second thoughts on the superfi5!

super.fi 5 pro has lots of bass. I've had them since october and yes, they do have a robust low end and a warm sound. Definitely get the pro instead of the EB; haven't heard too many good things about the EB. The pro has enough bass anyways. From what I've read about the k81, the super.fi pro is probably the closest match. I have listened to the k26p alot, which also sounds *somewhat* similar.

yea it's true bring an amp is trouble but does it make a difference

as for umamp, get the 5 pro. save the eb for your upgrade next time, bass wise.

Haha. Considering she bought me the 595s as a b-day present, i thought i owed her a nice pair of iems for her ipod.

Back to the topic, earphonesolutions is a very reputable place to purchase IEMs. They used to have really great bargains a couple of months back but haven't seen them lately.

Keep in mind that with any supra/circumaural headphone you tend to "feel" the bass as well. While a certain iem may have the same amount of bass, it will not really be the same. Just my .02$.

I thought the um1's had quite a bit of bass for the money, though personally I didn't like them at all. Sound was very veiled. Bass still can't touch k81's though.

Yeah, the C&C made the k81dj's feel more alive, it definitely added a lot more bass power to my headphones. I get a little tingling sensation in my body when I play music like "Lupe Fiasco - Kick Push & Hurt Me Soul"
