I think he meant trance.  But it could be TRANS means "Transexual, transgender, or transvestite" edit: NVM

yes.

  Sony 7550 is pretty much useless on the street, on the go. And have wind noise. They are for a quiet place. I need something I can use on the street, on the go.
jvc xtreme xplosives ha-fx1x - I have them. They are not good for me, sound like mash.
I need something like RE 400, but with reach sub bass. Maybe not even mid bassy, but sub bussy.

Ibasso it03 is a fine, very fine iem. I have to update my list as well. I don't think the Ibasso will crack my top 5 for impact though.

Just preordered the trinity phantom master. It looks like revised/improved PM4. Used the upgrade code for great price. I have the phantom sabre with the same push/pull tech. The sabre has great bass. I wonder if it's the same as PM4

Cool to see the XB90 has been knocked down a notch. Don't get me wrong - its the only IEM will never get rid of and I never wish it to actually drop places on the ranking list  - but it is nice to see other stuff is proving some real bass-ability.

I'm new to this basshead stuff.  I've always been a neutral can user, but lately I'm liking IEM more than big cans and something about bassy IEMs is really nice.  Sony XB90 are my newest buy and I'm ridiculously impressed w/ what these can do w/ amp and EQ.  
 
This list got me to update my amazon wishlist real quick.

It03 has more bass impact with about same depth than xb90.

Enjoy the ex90xb
Most bass able IEM do not have as big a stage and as good a mids.
 
I would not spend another dime unless it were to get the 800ST or 1000 EX series since you are cool with amp and EQ.  The detail in the minutia of the sonics is
very impressive.
 
If this is a hobby and the discovery is the fun which for many it is then by all means but if you are a multi genre' listening power user you are close to the top. 10x more money will not yield even 2x more quality......(i.e. bass to mid transition,stage)
