Oh yeah, yeah - sorry I thought you meant EQing. I definitely used those and noticed the gradual increases in bass. Still would like more bass though..haha.
You could try to bend the headband together to get a tighter fit. I did that to my pair because I thought the fit was a bit loose. When the fit got tighter the bass increased a notch (literally: I now get around the same bass at setting two as I did before on setting three).
With any more bass than COPs on notch 4 and any type of amp with a bass boost, like the fiio e18, you're gonna damage your ears real fast.
I'm currently breaking in my pair. They have changed a lot over the ~25 hours I have put into them. Lower treble 3-4 kHz) was very forward for a while and it wasn't pleasant at all. Now they are clearing up and getting more balanced. Basically, I think they are great value. I will try some mods to see if I can get the best (in my opinion) out of them.
Here's an easy and completely reversible mod to get more bass / tame the highs:
Cut a disc of felt with diameter 9.5 cm. Then cut a center hole with diameter 5 cm.
Tuck it in under the ear pad like this (you don't need to remove the pads).
