I'm used to using my Hippo VB iem(s) and well the bass is really heavy with the VB(s), now I just got the DT770 Pro I find the bass to be too little and I was trying to fiddle around with the Jet Effect Equalizer on the J3, and I cannot seem to get the right EQ settings to produce a good bass with average clarity EQ. They sound awful.
 
I have the 80ohm DT770 Pro.
 
Anyone who owned a J3 and the DT990 can you provide me the EQ settings, or at least tell me what should I do to make the DT770 Pro sound better.
 
Thanks

I didn't spend a lot of time with DT770 Pro but enough to tell I'd boost it especially in the midbass to midrange. It already offers strong subbass response but the mid/upper bass is definitely not as strong which is probably what you're missing, the impact/punch in the bass which usually comes from the 90 ~ 200Hz range or so especially
 
What frequencies can you adjust on J3?

Not sure how to describe it as I'm a total noob in these kind of stuffs.
 
Anyway, here's what it looks like,
 
There are 5 bars. Each bar with -12 till 12.
 
First bar:
Frequency(Hz): 80Hz, 105Hz, 135Hz, 175Hz
Bandwidth: Wide, Narrow, Normal
 
Second bar:
Frequency(Hz): 220Hz, 300Hz, 385Hz, 500Hz
Bandwidth: Wide, Narrow, Normal
 
Third bar:
Frequency(Hz): 650Hz, 780Hz, 1.1kHz, 1,4kHz
Bandwidth: Wide, Narrow, Normal

Forth bar:
Frequency(Hz): 1.8kHz, 2.4kHz, 3.0kHz, 4.1kHz
Bandwidth: Wide, Narrow, Normal
 
Fifth bar:
Frequency(Hz): 6.9kHz, 9kHz, 11.7kHz, 13kHz
Bandwidth: Wide, Narrow, Normal
 
-----------------------
 
Please help me out in this.
 
Thanks

Try perhaps:
 
First bar:
Frequency: 105 or 135Hz (hard to say which of these would be better pick, just try it out but I'd say perhaps 135Hz)
Bandwidth: Wide or normal (again I don't know exactly how wide they are so difficult to say)
Setting: +5 ~ 6 
 
2nd bar:
Frequency: 300Hz
Bandwidth: Wide or normal
Setting: +2 
 
3rd bar:
Frequency: 780Hz
Bandwidth: Wide
Setting: +3
 
4th bar:
Frequency: 1.8kHz
Bandwidth: Wide
Setting: +3 ~ 4
 
5th bar:
Frequency: 6.9kHz
Bandwidth: Normal
Setting +2 ~ 3

Tried it, they sound pretty good, and has more clarity than flat. I dont know if its cause Im too used listening to the super bass produced by my VB. I find the bass not bassy enough. :\

Well increase the bass around 105Hz, put it on wide and increase until you get satisfied, nothing says u have to leave it at +6 but I thought that had been enough but perhaps I was wrong. ;P If that's not enough decrease the other range. xD
