I can feel the bass from my Monster Turbines somewhat. It does depend on the type of music and recording quality though. I don't think a quality pair of IEMs would ever trump a quality pair of regular head phones in the bass department. It's just physics.

i think your just not getting a proper seal, really try the olives they should give you a tight seal and give you the bass you want

slowpickr, I did consider the turbines...it was a tossup between them and the Klipsch, maybe I flipped wrong
Mark, you've been a big help to me, I'd like to give the olives a try - any place you would suggest ordering them from? Are they just the black foam shure replacement tips? Thanks!

well they dont, but id suggest small as the customs go rather deep if you want to shove them all the way in
or you could try to get a shure fit kit, that would have all three sizes and a few other tips too

Try this SRS WOW SANDBOX software n sync it again. It will give you more oomph and you can change settings( free trial).

FWIW, I ordered a set of Olives from an amazon marketplace supplier for $13 - figure I'll give 'em a try and see if they help. Now I only hope the smalls fit me - if not, I'll have 4 pairs for sale for cheap

Now altering the sound of a recording is just Devilish in my opinion...musicians and singers spend so much time getting just the right tones and recordings and we people out here ruin it by EQing the sound. This is of course my opinion
