I've been trying to make the switch from my Bose QC15 to quality earphones as I am growing tired of the space they take up and they are a bit uncomfortable for long flights.
I recently tried Shure / Etymotic, but in the long-run I was disappointed with the bass response. After listening to them for a while I am much more willing to sacrifice some clarity for decent bass. I also looked into the UE SuperFi 5's, but saw that they only have 26 dB noise isolation.
Does anyone have any specific recommendations for a pair of earphones that have great sound isolation and good bass response? I've been hard-pressed to find a combination of both. I listen to a wide variety of music, but I've noticed that in the Shure/Etymotic the clarity made the bass a bit too crisp and also the bass felt weak in general (as many have complained about). I'd like a good balance as I do listen to classical and acoustic as well.
Thanks in advance.
