I'm not quite sure where to put this thread. Anyhow, I recently got into this audiophile business. For my computer, I'm using Creative X-Fi HD USB sound card with my ATH-M50 headphones. After burning them in for a while, they seem to sound fine (although the treble seems scratchy at times...the music files' fault?). Shortly afterward, I got a Cowon J3 with some Westone 2 IEM's for my portable system. The treble seems to be more improved, but there just seems to be a lack of bass. Maybe I just need to burn these in longer.
I find myself having trouble listening to the earphones without the J3's equalizer settings. I guess BBE was supposed to be the way to go, but even on my computer with the IEM's, they just sound so dull. I'm liking the Headphones and Mach3Bass settings. Is this just the difference between headphones and IEM's, or is it just the Westone 2's themselves?
Also, is there a cure for the common basshead? I'm seriously concerned about this. When I think of bassheads, I imagine a head vibrating from all the excess bass and eventually exploding. Please help...
