You could check out the Cyberdrive Impact Bass. Very rich bass, but not the most defined bass I have ever heard. You can get them as a package with Claity USB DAC for $49, not a bad price considering you get a DAC that can do DSD and a set of IEM . I have them, and like I said the Impact bass have lots of bass while having decent mids and highs. They have more bass and extension than my Koss portapro phones, but the Koss is better as a whole package.

Bassheads who like to roll tips should give these a shot. I found them when looking thru Easy Earphones one day. I've been using them on my MDR 7550 and ASGB for a couple days now and I'm ready to say that they are definitely what's up.
 
They're Tingo brand velvet IEM tips.
 

 
 
I'm noticing a very clear refinement on sub and mid bass on every IEM immediately off the bat. However there is definitely a treble rolloff, and they seem to absorb a bit of the sound, as they'll make any IEM sound just slightly more distant.
 
I'm definitely a fan though. As someone who usually rolls off the high end treble with EQ, I am completely happy with this.
 
They only came in one size which worried me, as sometimes small tips don't even fit me, but they fit fine. Since they're so soft and bendy they just kind of conform to your ear canal's shape, so it's kind of like the benefits of the sounds of foams without the tight pressure fit of foams.
 
edit: On Aliexpress, they had "warm" in the name and I thought that was funny, but they're made of velvet, so they actually are kind of warm, but not in a bad way! Maybe I wouldn't use them when it's 40 celsius outside... but for most occasions they're actually quite nice. I would take a picture of how cool the ASG-B look with the blue ones on but I'm too busy listening.

Elecom are the real deal, bass wise. I'm experiencing sibilance. I did have some fit issues, but spiral dots are working well. Too soon to share a lot. They are ugly as hell, flat cable if that's your thing.

Decent package. For $32, definitely a budget basshead. It takes lots of power too. I turned my C5 all the way up, along with my phone, no distortion that I could hear, it was loud, bass was thumping.

At lower volumes, definitely a little veiled, mid range sounds a little flat to me. Not the best at detail retrieval.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find more bass volume at this price range and probably way up. I would say more than Xb90ex bass. Not by much, but noticeable. Also, easier to drive than the Sony's.

But the treble gets real hot, although I do turn treble up, but either way more than anything else I own.

Clarity not on same level as the Sony either.

Overall, this are pretty damn good, especially at this price.

Anyone who'd like to give a listen, drop me a pm.

Sorry for the jumbled mess... Just read what I typed, I was all over the place. I was literally listening and laying in bed. Overall, we have a winner.

Cool, thanks for impressions. Those are the larger driver version you got right?

 

[warrior1975]

Yes sir. Big suckers. I'm quite impressed at this price point. To me, worth well over the price I paid. If they fit better, they'd be keepers for me.

To me, they are a poor man's Sony Xb90ex.

Damn dude! All the way on the C5 for real? Not even with the ASG-B I can make it 1/4 of the way before it's crazy loud.... damn!

 

[warrior1975]

Yes sir. Pretty impressive. I'm giving them away, so anyone who wants them, drop me a pm. I just want to share them with anyone here that wants to listen first.

Cool! Pay it forward!
 
 

Gotta remember to put them on April's list.

 

[warrior1975]

Yes sir, will do. Someone already asked, so they are officially spoken for. I told our fellow basshead that I'll sit on these until Thursday, if nobody wants to listen, I'll send to him. If people want to give it a go, when they are done traveling they are his.

Have you tried other dac/amp combos w/ the 2.5s? I'm extremely new to this and trying to get some advice for a great setup up to pair with my iPhone 6plus.
