If you try listening Havis with sony tips, its bass level becomes almost bone shaking, if someone else told me that so, I was going to say impossible.. it changes a lot by tip rolling

I agree it changes a lot by tip rolling(that's why I mentioned it), but the hybrids don't give me anyway near impactful bass levels. Not even wide bores or ones similar to other Sony tips that increase sub-bass on other iems(that said I don't have MH1 tips if that's what you mean)
Nothing does, except maybe a big bass boost from and amp might. Plus they hurt my ears after a little bit/while. But to each his own!

The Sony hybrids lift the bass and reduce the treble. They also shrink the soundstage, but tend to focus details. Wide bores usually level off the bass, increase treble extension, and give the widest soundstage presentation, but can also increase any distortion inherent. The JVC spiral dots most definitely behave this way, though for BA drivers, the spiral dots will give a slight lift and controlled focus to bottom end. Better than the Sony hybrids.

Not wide bores for T1-E or JVC HA-FXD80 They increase sub-bass & bass in general and a little treble & perceived soundstage like you said. But that is personal opinion and experience. I do like most wide bore tips better than narrow such as Sony hybrid.

For me, narrow bores like Sony hybrids shrink treble, but only increase mid-bass a bit.

Also, a little lesser known one is the longer the stem the bigger the soundstage, and narrows usually follow this trend not wide-bore.

In my experiences with tips, wide bored ones give wider soundstage than narrow ones. Soundstage is also dependent to narrow/deep insertion.

I agree with yalper. Havi with the right choice of tips is not bass-light even when compared to IM50. Actually they are the most tip dependent IEMs I've ever seen.

On the last part, I was saying that the longer the stem, or fit length as you put it, usually increases the soundstage. So yes.
I was just noting that long stem tips are usually narrow borrow. Wide bore, though I agree they increase soundstage width, are usually shorter in length.

Yeah sorry, we are talking about the same thing.

So yep, I'll be an AKG 7XX owner, and I'll mod it to be balanced.
 
I can't think of any other headphone that can be made balanced at that level of quality for the price.

Great review twister6. Is it a mesh type filter? They look different than the RE400 filters. Did you try to put on RE400 filters btw?

No, I didn't try RE400 filter, but it's the same size.  Yep, this is a mesh filter to keep dust/earwax and maybe some sound fine-tuning, though not sure about the later one.  When you look inside, there is no foam or any other kind of filter inside of the nozzle; under the right angle and with enough light you can actually see all the way down to a driver.

Is it me or is the filter punctured?

 

[thatBeatsguy]

Really itching but I have neither Fuze nor BE atm......

but not a bad idea and nothing much to lose for the price combined.......btw,do you have fuze?

I don't have a Fuze, and I don't plan to have a Fuze. Again, I'm all about the sound without EQ -- I'm rather averse to EQ software. #3fiddly5mi

Too much tip rolling Probably pushed it in...

I never quite understood the idea of tip rolling. I'm guessing its something that's commonly done with budget headphones?
