Hippo VB suits the description, I think :) The treble can be harsh until it's completely burnt in, FYI..   You can check the review in ClieOS or |joker|'s multi-IEM review thread :)

Thanks for the review, ClieOS. I've been dying to read a review of the Shroom EB. May I request for a more detailed description of the EB's bass? After all, that's what the improvement is all about.. A comparison with VB's bass (or RE0's) would be very welcome. Thanks again! @Jaben...

Wow.. As the OP, I regret the fact that this thread I started has become a battleground where people belittle other people and say hurtful things.   I mean, really. We're talking about audio here. Means to enjoy music which we love. That's all. No need to get serious or offended by other...

Quote: That's what EQ does, if all bands are modified so that they are on the same level (e.g. +4dB on every band).   I guess the only sure way to solve this is to have two Clip+, one set to Normal and one set to Custom with all bands boosted +4dB, and compare their sounds :D

Quote: So it's kind of like turning the volume higher, then? Boosting the dB?  

The 880s it is, then.. I'd still have to audition them to test if they have Twilight-grade sparkle.. Heheh :D   Thanks, swbf2cheater!

Hmm.. Intriguing review.. Interested on how people will react to this thread :)   I'm currently looking to move up the earbuds ladder from the PK3.. I doubted the PK2s would have enough bass for me, and the PK1s need an amp, which I don't want to lug around. And now this review makes me...

I think you would get more helpful advices if you summarize what you actually want from your phones. From what I gather: - Bass extension - Bass not dominating the spectrum   I think the other important thing you should mention is the quantity of the bass that you wanted. People are...

I think you should definitely return the OK2s, and get another type that fits you better. You and I both know that you will regret it if you don't :)   You know what you like: the PX100s. If I were you, I'd find reviews on PX100s, see what words people use to describe the bass on the...

Actually, they're quite decent.  With the foams on, they sound veiled but I took the foams off and they actually sound quite good! More transparency and clarity..   ..with no bass extension whatsoever :D

I'm confused. Nobody ever said the OK series have bass. They're good, in a way, but that doesn't necessarily mean that everyone will like them. They have their own characteristics, and in this case, those characteristics simply don't suit you.   If you want bass (quantity) from Yuins, you'd...

Dude! Wearing earphones while riding a motorcycle ain't cool!    From what I gathered, the 630's have bass that would be described as 'boomy'. The VB's, on the other hand, have bass that would be described as 'punchy', detailed, no midbass hump, with good extension.   Try the Hippo...

That was awesome, xnor.. I just 'thumbs-up-'ed you.. :D I can't really see the sweep graph, though, only the multitone..   So the treble does increase 1dB.. I guess my ears HAVE been deceiving me..    Thanks for the help, everyone :D This is a great place! I'm looking forward to one...

Hey! I have an avatar now.. Cute.. @Punnisher: broken how, exactly? You mean, like, the way it drains battery?

I tried what you suggested, mobbaddict, and I actually found that they were indeed indistinguishable.. That's weird.. In "one-notch-short-of-flat-custom" EQ, I tried to increase the volume, even up to uncomfortable levels (i.e. louder than the normal), but I could've sworn I couldn't reach...

I tried searching the forum for threads like this, but surprisingly I couldn't find any... Maybe the wording was wrong. Anyway. The saga began when I bought a pair of PL50s (used). Opened the box, plugged them in to my Clip+, and immediately concluded that I didn't like their sound...

What's your favorite setting for the bass knob on the PL30s?

From what I gather, PL50 is better than PL30 in sound quality. RE0 is also light years ahead of PL30 in sound quality. You prefer the PL30 to the RE0 not because they're better (has better sound quality, but because their sound signature is more preferable to you. I, too, am disappointed...

Hmpf.. The only metallic red IEMs I know is MylarOne Quattro.. I don't know about the deep bass, though..

Nice review, yipcanjo. I, too, was expecting to see more ViSang review from head-fiers. Btw, comparing an IEM to others is usually the easiest way for the readers to imagine how the IEM actually sounds (assuming the reader already has heard the IEM you're comparing it with). So, hold no...
