For starters, i'm not really a basshead. I love the sound of my hd595s which and my akg 271's. I read a lot of reviews on the e5c's and, based on my findings from reading the reviews on the e4c ("has balanced bass" where I found almost none at all) I expected that e5c's "headshaking" bass would in actuality be (what I consider) balanced. Once again, as with the e4c's I'm feeling a little bit let down. There seems to be some action in the lower frequency regions, however it seems not to be particularly deep or powerful. I've got those triflanges jammed down my ears, and I've tried the foams (which seem to give better sound isolation than the triflange because I can't hear a damn thing with them on). Neither ones seems to fill in the lower end and I can't figure out for the life of me why I get accurate reviews on the full sized cans but I can't get any sort of reading on these in ear monitors.
Can anyone else who has the e5c's and one of my other cans, the 595's or the 271's tell me how much bass they get from each set when the perceived treble volume is approximately the same? Am I expecting too much? If I am, then where are these comments about the earthrattling bass of the e5c coming from?
Thanks a ton team.
