btw, the IMR Acoustics Zenith R1 and Z are bass monsters, and since new models are coming out may be some good used ones on the used market soon. they have the bass of the old aurisonics 2 series with a good source and with an amp will rock your world!!

I got a pair of Zenith but with no filters in a trade. Can you spare a set of filters? I can send a custom cable or something in a trade

Well don't discount the KPE. It has amazing bass imo. Im a basshead and If I pump the eq, watch out. Very very satisfying depth and slam. Then the 800st is one notch above that. It IS the bass king. Full stop.

I read a long time ago that one of the bass kings was the Sony EX800. I bought it and as it comes (unless mine is fake, although mine comes from Japan) has almost no bass sound. Then I applied the MOD (cover with tape the side holes) and somewhat improves the response in bass & subwoofer, but very far for example from the new IEMS series that I own, for example the TFZ exclusive 5 or the Tequila 1.

Can you please give me brands and models of the new IEMS bassheads ?, I have read ELECOM, but what brand and model ?, etc.

Thank you

You should figure out what is wrong because yes the 800st is the bass king in IEMs. You can probably rupture your ear drums if you eq like that.

I was like you.. when i first heard it. bass was quick but was neither deep or as punchy as i imagined. i thought the same thing.. is this a fake? but i did get it from yodobashi in japan so.. couldnt be? i tried diff tips and after a few weeks the bass is very much present ( with the tape mod). a bit too much so i played with venting it more to reduce it. so give it time...

I started this thread.

Not based on "bassy" IEM as those have little headroom. (for me anyway)
This was based on amp and EQ combined. Cayin C5 amp on high gain at full volume. EQ floored beyond 30 and 60Hz sliders which are almost max which is a deviation of about 12dB

ASG 2.5 with vent 100% open will blow air on your ear like a mini blow-drier with a car audio sub bass test tone sweep.
EX800ST will damage your ears and cause pain. it can take 55Hz and give you ear damage.

Original intent of thread was to find those.
I have my 800ST. Would like to cop a set of 2.5 again

Yes I have to find the box they came in HBB I will look for it today happy to send them to you if you have a Japanese copper cable that would be useful to me but no worries I will send asap looking forward to your Zenith impressions!
BTW I got DM7 ordered...

You can always as Bob at IMR for some. It sounds like you were given the replacement set when the Zeniths came out. The first set were out of phase and can be fixed easily flipping the 2 pin connectors. So basically, everyone got a spare set minus filters. That would explain why the filters were absent.

The dude who did the trade left that info out. Wondering why he had a "spare" set of shells but no filters...
Thanks man

HBB let me know if you want to contact Bob directly at IMR audio or have me send you a set when i find them sometime this weekend! cheers! and thanks for the interesting video reviews!

Thanks for your impressions, I will give you a little more "burning"

A few days ago I did a test with my calibrated microphone iMM-6 of three listeners from 3 different IEMs in which the difference of bass response is appreciated ... and in which less amount of bass is clearly appreciated is in my Sony .. ..

Nice comparison and the Sony clearly wins that with its MUCH clearer midrange. If you EQ you would get even more wallop.

@zazaboy I like the IMR1 very much, its level of detail and its black filter (the most bass) I like a lot. In general, the IMR R1 is very balanced in its response, there is no significant invasion of the different drivers in the different frequencies in which each one works. At home I use it with a Topping Dx3pro and its pairing is very good. Without a doubt, I would recommend Tequila 1, which has a V profile (soft) with a dynamism and answers TOTL in which you can enjoy all the genres with which you listen to it. The bass is incredible and has a mids and treble that surprise me to have only 1 dynamic driver (double in line). Tequila 1 is amplified very well, it is the IEMS that is easier to amplify, you can use it with any source (phone, dap, computer, etc). The only downside that I see Tequila 1 is that its output channel is somewhat short, although I'm perfect, some friends who have reported that problem, can be minimized with the right tips. I use large (L) silicone olives, with perfect surface sealing. Right now it is at an incredible price in ALI, I bought it more expensive a few months ago.

The serial cable is good, but I have adapted a better one that I had at home.​

The three recordings are with a similar level (volume), future recordings I want to make them in Stereo, normalize them, etc. I think it's a good way to "hear" the sonic differences and profiles of the different IEMs analyzed with the same microphone with which I perform the frequency response graphs. A sound can be worth more than an image ... or in any case a complement to be able to decide better than IEM should buy based on our preferences.

This part ''This was based on amp and EQ combined. Cayin C5 amp on high gain at full volume. EQ floored beyond 30 and 60Hz sliders which are almost max which is a deviation of about 12dB'' Must be mandatory included in the top of the top list and highlighted with red caps. Otherwise that list is missliding and confuses the hell out of a lot of fellow bassheads who take that list as a guidance without going through many pages and later face disappointment plus financial loss. Many people don't realise about the required power and call this list bogus on other threads.
