Quote: Ah allrite understood wrong. But i might try aswell adding some foam into the iem.

They indeed look like proper iems. Sony has also plenty stock iems that are quite ok.

Quote: Quite an opposite opinion compared to mine, but people have different types of ears.

Quote: Yeah, im going to try the foam tips that came with my meelec m9's on the Hippo VB's and see how it improves the sound. Complys bit too expensive with shipping for me.

You dont have Meelec M9 on your list. They fit your price range and are probably the best iems in that price range.

Meelec M9's are the smallest iems ive ever had. They go quite deep in your ear, combined with the small size they are very good for sleeping. Don't have M6's but they seem to come out quite much from your ear, so wouldnt recommend them for sleeping.

Noice cancelling stock iems on Sony NWZ-S739F-player were horribly unconfortable, couldn't wear them. The SQ was ok and the noice cancelling worked well on the bus. http://www.hotdealsgenie.com/uploads/products/popup/popup_1_1270606948_sony-mp3walkman-nwz-s739fb-a.jpg

Quote: Agree. From bassheavy iems Sony MDR-90LP, Meelec M9 and Xears TD100 II, Hippo VB gives the deepest bass with a nice controlled punch. Especially with the 2-dot plate it gives the most impact.

Hippo VB's are still quite bassy with the least bassy plate, so if you're not a basshead, I wouldnt recommend them.

Quote: I can recommend XB500 for bass heads.

How does Beyerdynamic DT770 compare to Sony XB500 bass wise? I know they are in a completely different pricerange, but Ive heard DT770 has an excellent amount of bass and better mids and treble compared to XB500.

I recieved Sony XB500 a week ago. Compared them to XB700 in the shop and preffered XB500 because they had better impact on the bass and reached enough low for my taste. Eventhought XB700 goes lower.

Ive compared Hippo VB's to other bass-heavy iems like Sony MDR-90LP, Meelec M9, Xears TD100 II and with no doubt they have the deepest and most impactful bass. But I dont really like the treble on them, bit too harsh for my ears.

Has anyone compared these to other bass-heavy iems? Like Hippo VB, Meelec M9 or Xears TD100 II?

Happy christmas!
