Rank the IEM's you've heard
Slightly out of context Imho it's somehow complicated to say DD bass is always better then BA bass. Coming from the Vision Ears Phönix, a fabulous IEM that might lacking in rare situations the dynamic punch in the bass region - moving on to the Vision Ears 10 that can fix it but in these days I...- sm0rf

Most manufacturer associate dynamic driver had to be somewhat "energized shouty" while Softears went the opposite way. Turii has still enough bass, with the advantage of dynamic impact but then in particular not that much more slam like balanced armature driver. use a translation tool for that...- sm0rf

Your eclipse still feeling pretty fine at his new home, with a lively presentation in balance between boring and agressive tuning. Important that he is attached to a dedicated source that support/boost his dynamic driver while like (most) DD sets it's missing somehow of the brilliance...- sm0rf
