Whoops, forgot to mention "with use of EQ" it makes a world of difference, at least for me anyways

 
LOL, it will, but any IEM will be able to suit a basshead if you EQ it.  Even an Etymotic (if you do it correctly)

Yeh, I think that when you review you should write the unequal sound. I think an EQ section would be good but you can't review what you hear with EQ. Just a heads up not a dig!

I was planning to but I didn't get enough time for a good section on EQ and one on Non-EQ so I stuck with this format. Unorganized but it will do for now. It's more like first impressions then an all out review, for that, we'll have to wait until the Rev 1.2 and the AS-1b to arrive. 
I plan to have both an EQ and non EQ section (so EQ highs,mids,bass & non-EQ highs,mids,bass).

Okay, you shouldn't have to EQ them with the revision though Thats the whole point!

Not quite, according to Dale, the treble may always need a boost on the AS-1 series.

You shouldn't need to EQ any IEM really.  However, that is depending on how you like them.  I'm 100% against any EQ, however, you do have to still remember these weren't made for listening, they were made for live performances.

Fair play, personally although it could use a boost i see it as part of the sig now. I thought most people concentrated on controlling the mids but thats all personal choice.

Well-ish, Un-EQ'ed these are satisfactory for basshead, me
Of course, we aren't talking TFTA, CKS77, MG7 bass levels, but the quality, and that touch of quantity is good enough.
+ if you are a true basshead...you already have a ZO2 handy and dandy

I know, I'm the same. Generally I avoid EQ entirely, heck if it wasn't for the ASG-1's I would have never touched the EQ! But my listening enjoyment is at stake here! It's not my fault that my preferences are hardwired into my brain.

True.  There are, in my book, two types of bassheads (really three), that want more bass in two different ways.

1. Directional/Span: they want the bass to dig as deep as possible.  Quantity really is not a concern for them.
2. Big Bass: They want the most amped up bass possible.  Normally referring to the large mid-bass, but can also be large sub-bass or both. 
3. Mix: They want the whole shabang  

 
I'll agree that the bass is high in quality, however, it may not be able to satisfy the bassheads (I've heard other bassheads not call these type of bassheads bassheads, they disowned them ) who want the big bass rather then the spanning, deep bass.
 
I do fit the first definition, but don't consider myself a basshead.

I've seen many Big Basses where I live (just look for da Beats) but fairly few Directional/Span. Mix are also semi-common

Aah dubbed that's true but you would not say that these are off a bass head level

Ive never EQued apart from a mess around once with IEMs....

I'm not against it I just don't do it

Well besides the ASG-1 upgrade the only 2 upgrades that I can see on the horizon of possibility:

• AS-1b and ASG-1 upgrade to AS-2b and ASG-2 (I will find a way to make it happen)
• Custom Headphones for Dummies themed AS-1b/2b and/or ASG-1/2 (near impossible with my budget, but hey I can dream can't I?)

1. MG7
2. TFTA 1Xb & 1V
3. CKS77
 
TEEHEE!

Hmmm...Well, I don't see why Dale wouldn't have the AS-2's mimic the line-up of the AS-1's, so that you can have a AS-2 that doesnt have bass tuning or ambient ports. It would seem silly to think if their existed a AS-2b that it wouldn't just be the AS-2 if they only had one version
