I have few good headphones and recently I bought S12 and I fell in love for IEMs too. Now I would like to add to my colletion also very bassy Iems so What I could buy for 60 - 80 euros ?

Thank you

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

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

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.
