Same. Was looking for more upper range and someone suggested the silicone tips, but the isolation is abysmal with those.

Compared to the SE215, would you say they have less overwhelming bass? I find the Shures to be a bit too bassy at times, so how would you recommend this as an upgrade?

The non-detachable cable is ruining it for me, sorry. I've been through too many earphones and IEMs that died due to the cable.

Have you tried Viper4Android or AudioFX on the S6? Root is available, so the SQ can change quite a bit.

Regular Yep, switching back to foam for the awesome isolation. Budget is around $300 CAD (darn US products are like $200 more in Canadian dollars).

I tried all 3 silicone tips, and the isolation just doesn't cut. I'll have to stick with the foams and a toned down EQ. Any recommendations on future IEMs that don't have too much bass bleed-in, yet decent bass response?

I seem to be one of the few that are experiencing really overpowering bass in R&B and hip-hop songs. It's to the point where the vocals are so overwhelmed, I have to EQ to bass reducer.  Which one would be better to reduce the bass, foam or silicone tips? I'm using the foam tips for better...

So I've EQ'd the 8khz and 16khz frequencies up 6 dB, and the vocals seem to balance out the drums and such. Is there any IEM that can match a similar sound (detachable cable is a must)? Also, a question for audiophiles, if the instrumental, let's say drums, overpower the vocals, would it be...

Only a few of them in the $200 range have detachable cables, and I already knew of them. The SE215s are natural sounding, correct? So how big is the difference between a natural sounding IEM compared to a neutral IEM (e.g. Westone W20/30)?

I'm currently using a pair of Shure SE215s and I'm looking to upgrade in the next year or so. My budget is around $200-$250, maybe $300 tops. I'm okay with how the Shures sound right now, but I'm unsure if the sound signature is something I like, as there are some things I have noticed in some...
