@novice:
I own the IM50 but also demoed the IM70. To my ears and my memory, the IM70 has less low mids as compared to IM50 so to hear you describe it as muffled is quite a contrast to what I've experienced.
Maybe you could try letting it burn in overnight to some of your favorite songs at higher volume and have a listen to it then? Dynamic drivers sometimes tend to sound like that out of the box until the diaphragm loosens up.
If it still sounds bad, maybe a return is in order.
