i think the best way to give etys more bass is a bassy amp.

btw, why is the 001mkII never mentioned because ive heard it surpasses etymotics and and e4 from what ive read. is the only problem isolation?

Very rich extension and tightness, but that's also because I mated my ER-4S with a warm and lively source which is the Rio Karma. And I listened to a lot of elecronic music (Synthpop, Electro Indie, Industrial etc). And shamelessly I admit that with Nelly Furtado's Loose album, I was awashed with bass sweeps - man that album is so full of bass in every area. So what it means is that ER-4S will deliver perfectly when the songs demand bass. If you have ER-4P, go for ER-4S upgrade and get Xin Supermini/Supermicro with bass boost

That's interesting, cause I also use the Rio Karma for portable listening. An amp really isn't in my budget, so I doubt I'd go for a Xin or the S upgrade. For those who mention EQ-ing - I've tried, but it's still not where I'd really like it to be. I mean, there's objectively more bass, but it still sounds a little too distant and uninvolving.

Would other people recommend the im716 in my situation? That's still the only feasible suggestion without shelling out more money. I want to check them out, but I'm not sure if there's a local store that would sell them.
