I've been testing the Trinity Audio Phantom Master 6 for a while as I managed to get hold of one, it seems to have the strange sibilant issue that I had with the Master. The Phantom Master 4 doesn't have this issue for me at all. The Phantom Master 6 seems to only have a tiny bit more bass hit than the Phantom Master 4, I really can't justify the price at all. I don't hate it but I'm struggling to recommend it at all.

The IMR R1 beats the Phantom Master 6 by a mile for me, great bass too. I definitely recommend the IMR R1, clear treble and the bass hit is very satisfying. I can get them to sound like taped EX800ST but with much better treble using slight EQ.

Just crawled through the last 300+ pages of this thread, been underground for almost 3 years after acquiring my ASG 2.5 that ended my search for the 'endgame' basshead IEMs (lmao lets be real endgames don't exist), but the recent purchase of an AK70ii has woken my deep thirst for more, so I'm happy to say that I'm back. Good to see that 'ASG 2.5' is still being thrown around and compared to, but also that there are many new competitions that I need to try out, exciting times! I'm particularly interested in trying out the FXA11 next month in Hong Kong to see what Aurisonics, or I mean, Fender has been up to, but man that price tag ..

Hi all,
On february i'll be in Japan for holiday, can you suggest me some basshead iem that i can purchase?
Possibly somthing easly to drive (i use mostly my smartphone without AMP), Mic will be a plus.
(I'm from EU, so something hard to find outside JAP)

Thanks all!
Bye!

The 64 Audio Tia Fourte has some pretty sick bass. Right there with the U18 despite the Tia Fourte only has four drivers. The overall dynamics of the Fourte make the bass' presence so much better.

Sony XBA-N3 not getting any love on this thread ? Not sure what they are classed as - mid-budget/budget end.

I love mine, but not sure they count as basshead.

I first bought them last year and then lost them, I think it is the only pair I have ever bought a second set of! I have got XB90s as well and they are well ahead on bass quantity, but the N3s have a quality across the whole range that I haven't heard on any other IEM. They still have plenty of sub-bass, but probably not enough to trouble the top 10 here.

this bella got my full attention. I dont know if HBB you heard the ie800 that was my same reaction to its sparkly sweet treble, of course the mids suck on ie800 and the bass was too bloadted as well

I am really wondering if the sparkle of treble on Bella is like ie800 or even better

I am sure that if the bella was under a usa name company its price would 3500 usd

What NCM needs, is to find its way to the international market, and update their website and have more people to test it to spread the word.
