Sorry for taking so long to respond, I've been rather busy lately.  On joker's recommendation, I went with the TDK EB900.  These have the exact sound signature I was looking for.   Although my current setup would probably make him puke, I couldn't be more pleased.  These are definitely for...

Joker,   I've taken what you said into consideration and greatly respect your advice.  I did some research on the Sony's today and I have a few qualms.  Firstly is the design.  They look like they are begging to be crushed and snapped apart.  Also, I've read quite a bit that says they are...

Quote: Have you listened to them recently or the newer v2?  I had a pair about a year ago that I barely got to use because I stupidly dropped them on the subway.  I didnt remember them being anything special, but they didnt even have a chance to burn in.  From what I recall, there isn't...

Looking for an IEM with the largest quantity of bass (including down to the 30Hz region comfortably) and a price tag under $50.  "Sonic accuracy" is the least of my concerns at this point.   Wish list: -BASS -Compatible with Comply T-400 -Metal housing -32 Ohms (no less than 16)...

I bought a set of Golds and they are on their way back for a refund.  There was clearly less bass on the right side.  No it was not a seal issue because the problem was independent of tip choice and which ear it was placed in.   I was actually pretty disappointed in mine, I expected them to...

I just want to comment on the Turbine Golds.  I just bought a pair and I'm a little disappointed after listening to them.  I expected them to really blow away my $20 Lenntek Sonix.  I want to say they have less bass impact, don't go as low, and have awkwardly louder mids and treble than what I...

Well since no one replied, can I assume that this does not occur normally and my set is faulty?

Well hello ladies and gentlemen.  I would like to get your opinion in an area that I have yet to develop much experience.  I have acquired a new pair of Monster Turbine PRO Golds after many hours of research on this forum.  I have yet to burn them in much (less than 6 hours) using dweaver's burn...

Do not get the VB, the build quality is so/so and the quality control on them is quite bad since I went through three defective pairs.

Can anyone comment on how the Turbine PRO Gold fits into this bass debate, specifically against the Eterna?

My experience with Uncle Wilson was great, but the experience with the VB was not so good.  I was looking for the best bassy IEM I could buy under $100, and the VBs sure seemed to fit the bill.  I bought them and was surprised how quickly they arrived.  I listened to them for a good 3 weeks and...

Sorry I have to rain on the parade guys, but I have to advise against buying the Hippo VBs.  I had ordered one pair that ended up being defective because one side was blatantly louder and had much better bass response than the other side.  After trying out two replacements with the same exact...

Well, since you mentioned the VBs: just to affirm your decision, I would only recommend those if you were looking for a "bass monster," but I didn't pick that up from your post.  Carry on then.

I've heard people say the Hippo VB improves on the Atrios and offers a 3D sounding sound stage.  The bass is phenomenal, however this is assuming your pair works!   I have been back and forth with UncleWilson because I received and exchanged 3 faulty pairs.  At around half the price, they...

I bought my VBs from UncleWilson, although I've had some issues with the buds themselves :(

This is very generous!  I've been wanting to hear the Atrios for a while now, but they are out of my price range at the moment and I don't know if I could test them out nearby.  I;ve been having issues with my Hippo VBs and just want something that works at this point.  I've also heard good...

http://www.radiusearphones.com/store/home.php   Has anyone seen or heard these?  I think they're pretty new since I can't really find much info on them.  I had a pair of the RAB1s for about 24 hours...didn't even have enough time to test them out, but I'm sure the guy that found them on the...

Yes, same bass plates have been on all pairs.  The problem is obvious because it follows when the IEMs are swapped between ears.

Well, I've got an update folks and I need some more advice.   After I sent the horrible pair back, they sent me a replacement that was similar to the first pair I bought.  Not terrible, but slightly unequal.  I noticed something: when I place the good sounding side in my ear, I get a slight...

Hey guys...what do you think I should do here?   I ordered a pair of Hippo VBs a month back because I heard they were great for bass.  I found out this was true...except mainly in one ear only.  The sound seemed to be off in an odd way, where bass was more prominent on one side, mids seemed...

Does anyone else find that their ears are unequal in their hearing capabilities? I recently purchased a set of Hippo VB IEMs and it seems that the bass is more apparent in one ear, while the treble is better in the other. I was ready to call the IEMs faulty, but I used a mono track and Audacity...

If it's big bass you're looking for, then I would say don't go for the SR60s. I imagine it would be better coming from an amped source, but SR60s on an iPod was a bad match for me. I also was not a fan of the open back design, which allows a great deal of outside noise in. I found out that...

Again, thank you. If the MTs were the same price as the VBs, I think I'd have a harder decision. I know the MTs sometimes go on sale, but I don't know if I feel like waiting. I like how people with the VBs say the one dot plate has too much bass. That right there is stiffy inducing. If you...

Thanks so much for the reply. Can you comment on the VBs isolation? I'm in a city setting and while waiting for a subway, passing trains can be deafening. How well do the VBs keep out external noise with the opening in the back from the bass plates? Also, can you comment on the harshness of...

Hey guys. I've been doing a lot of research on here before I upgrade from my Lenntek Sonix. I want heavy bass in the 30-60 Hz range, and absolutely no ear splitting highs. This will be for an unamped iPod. I was leaning towards the standard MTs but have read a lot lately about the VBs. Two...
