I don't believe I even tried any of the bass settings other than the stock one, so yeah - I think IE8 has overblown bass even on the stock setting, unless you don't really have a seal. But in that case, the highs will become too thin and peaky.
I don't believe I've heard an IEM that sounds like HD650. Maybe Shure SE530/535 sounds similar, but they are too incoherent IMO. What qualities are you looking for exactly?
Even in the lowest bass setting? And what's your opinion about the closest sounfing IEM to the HD650?
