If you want a basshead IEM, read about the 7Hz Legato.

If you want a BASSHEAD IEM, also look at the HBB Hades

HBB Hades has so much bloated bass though, it's really made especially for lofi and oldschool hiphop music trying to emulate the feeling of old boomboxes and subwoofers in cars.

I think the QKZ x HBB is much more pleasantly tuned with still large amounts of bass and half the price almost I think?

@JediMa70 if you like the planar sound of S12 there is also the MP145, it's above the budget unfortunately (above $100 usually) but with a really nice warm bassy sound. You can listen to a comparison recording of the sound signature through your headphones:

Buy a €25 7hz Zero 2 and apply peq to your hearts content in the sub bass, the zero 2 has so little distortion that you can boost as much as you like, it can help if you also slightly raise the treble when boosting the bass - go for a strong u shaped curve

Honestly, this is the best advice. EQ is a basshead's best friend. The Truthear Zero Red also works for this due to low distortion. As a Qudelix 5k shill, I recommend the Qudelix 5k to complement either of these. Full parametric EQ, individual L/R adjustments, 10 bands...set a low shelf at 100 or 150Hz and boost to your degenerate tastes lol.

If your Qudelix-5K only shows 10 bands (EQ), backup your pre-sets before taking the next firmware update; as it will wipe out those EQ settings. But the update is very much worth it.

Gym gear: 7hz Legato + Qudelix-5K

Hi! I was a Legato user and moved to Delci. Do you perhaps any dissatisfaction with the treble or soundstage from the Legato? Do you tried to boost it somehow? Thanks before for the answer!

I specifically keep the Legatos for the gym; where the loud environment is not conducive to critical listening and I play energetic tunes, to keep me pumped up. So under these conditions, an IEM with the Legato's pros (Low end and rich vocals) and cons (not the most detailed or airy), can shine.

Ahh, you're right. At that specific time you won't even need the details and airy feeling. Purely for the energy from the bass. Good insight, thank you for your reply
