I have been planning to get one final iem in the $100-200 price range and then quit. Should this IKKO OH1 replace the Kanas Pro on my wish list? A little concerned about the treble peak that you mentioned.

The most expensive iems that I currently own include the Audbos P4, the Toneking NineTail, Hotfi HM9 - 6BA per side, iBasso IT01, NiceHCK D300, Moondrp Nocturne ,TFZ Exclusive 3, Fidue A73

Obviously I do not NEED anything.

Sorry, don't have any of those you've mentioned. So, cannot tell you whether iKKO is better or worse. Close to Kinera Idun Delux... But I would (Kanas Pro) is couple of weeks...

Magaosi K5 Bass?

I actually am having a hard time imagining anything could sound better than my Audbos P4. The reason I was thinking of the Kanas Pro over the Kanas was because I thought the regular Kanas might have too much bass for me. I want bass to go,low when it is there in the music but I don't want to be bashed in the head with it.

I listen to everything except EDM, Rap and Metal. I like to relax and listen to a few albums in a row. I like those magical moments that can happen when everything is just right...including mood. I do favor singer-songwriters the most...and atmospheric albums.

Yeah, regular kanas wouldn't suit you that case.

Regular Kanas is not even bassy; not a skull rattling bass at regular volume, just subtle boost. From my quick a-b with the MH755, Kanas has less overall bass quantity. But yeah, the pro is safer.

There's tastes, and there's tastes. In my first impressions i said that i also didn't found them to be "bassy", because the mids are tonaly perfect and full, and the upper range are balanced with it.
But i don't think bass is nowhere near neutral, it is greatly improved. See, the IEM is already hard to drive and the mids are defnitely behind the bass, they don't bleed too much and are very controlled also, but you will end up raising the volume even more for acoustic and etc, it will work because as i said the bass is very controlled. But its not the IEM i would recommend for one that don't listen to EDM nor Hip Hop, there are other options for it. With the REGULAR kanas i always have the feeling of wanting more vocals intimacy, if i have a neutral reference in mind, especially because the timbre is very tasty.

depends on what your bass tolerance level. i for instance like the rumble of the TFZ king/pro, but not for long because it starts to make me feel nauseated physically. the Kanas is elevated in bass to the point it has rumble, but it only hits the subbass and leaves the midbass alone. adding the forward sounding and snappy mids, also the detailed mid treble, it's easy to categorize the Kanas as not bass heavy, while in fact it is.

the MH755 has a slight bleed and elevated midbass, also the mids more recessed than the Kanas, but the Kanas goes down deeper

in my humble opinion the Kanas Pro would suits you more than the regular Kanas. on the same level of price as the Kanas Pro that i would suggest is the DM6. less intimate mids that the KP, but more "breathing room" for the soundstage while still detailed in vocals

Just in and I think this is a potential winner: the NiceHCK DT600. I love the linear low end.

Anybody here have thoughts on the Final Audio E3000?

Another DD+piezo hybrid:

Looks interesting, decent price too!

Have you tested the dt500?
How do they compare?

I didn't but heard the DT500 are "mistuned": their treble is overly exaggerated.

just a little bright if you like that kind of thing

Just got the CCA C16 last night. If you guys like vocal clarity, you got it. Can't give a full impression, it's too early. But I like them, they sound like my nice B&W bookshelf speakers. Even at low volumes, there is good visceral energy.
