So I've been away for a wile for a wile from this site and my sony 7550 had a tragic accident. I'm looking for some new iems below 500 that compare or best the bass of the 7550 or even better the asg 2.5, any recommendations are greatly appreciated

Empire Ears Bravado or consider getting the 7550 again.

Should this be like the end game right now for bassheads?

Any good basshead iem in a Shure/Westone type shell with narrow bore? I have small ears and that's the only shape I found comfortable. Anything like Kings Pro, ZS6 or IT01 becomes unbearable after a while. I am hoping to find something under $200 before I take the CIEM route.

If you want a good budget option, the Oriveti basic (10mm DD) is the most comfortable IEM I've had, with a similar shape as the Shure/westone type. the body of the shell is a bit more round to accommodate the bigger DD but otherwise just as comfy. The Oriveti basic is $99 with aluminum shells and removable mmcx cables.

it's a great all around IEM and priced well, but also has that low end and natural musicality of dynamics. Bass isn't as deep as my fx850 Woodies or the XB90EX but didn't expect them to.

Easy enough to order on amzn and send back if they don't suit you. I use mine with spiral dot tips, but I prefer spiral dots period

The oriveti new primacy hybrid may also be in your wheelhouse...it's shaped a lot more like shure/westone but hybrid and has had good reviews, or the 1st version did. Can't speak to the bass though

Ahhhhh I want a pair of these so badly, wanted to back the company when it Kickstarted as Earwerkz but it was all BA based, nothing that would sound like my preferences. My gawd those legend x have to be pure audio bliss.

Also, I hope that's the hiby R6?

I know the price is a huge difference, but compare to Altas?

I think the Legend is a whole new lever (for me) of audio quality. Look forward to listening to them whenever I have time

Yes.

No, ca atlas bass hit harder than lx for sure

Have you heard both?

 

[bvng3540]

Not just heard both but owned both

 

[tjdub]

I'm jealous man, so the atlas had more bass to you?
