I'm looking to upgrade from my cx300's again. I once tried the E4c's but quickly sent them back because of a lack of low end (yes, I had a good fit). I loved the fit of the E4c's though. I will not be using these for critical listening. Some must haves are: Tight fit (love foamies) Big bass...

Quote: Originally Posted by PiccoloNamek Wow, I never had to go through any of that to get great bass from my E4Gs. Perhaps we all just hear bass differently. possibly. It also depends on what you are used to. If you are coming from etys or stock buds you will more than likely...

The E4 with foamies (great seal) straight out of an un'EQ'd ipod did not have nearly enough bass for me. Sure everyone once in a while a song would come along that the bass would sound okay...but that wasn't good enough for me. I shipped them back.

Quote: Originally Posted by PiccoloNamek Of course, what constitutes a "good amount of bass" varies from person to person. Good point. As a point of reference....I think the sr60's, unamped/no EQ, out of the ipod, have just the right amount of bass for my tastes. I don't think...
