Well yes, I suppose the XBass on iFi units is quite relevant to this thread Though designed to compensate for bass rolloff on regular open back full size headphones, it can be quite the basshead's tool when used on something else

Almost as good as MSEB? MSEB can make most sets tolerable for bassheads. the only pair it failed on for me was the mrspeakers ether cx, which just was clearly limited by driver excursion limits.

I’m curious about that as well. They recently had it on Drop.

Sorry, couldn't resist putting you on the spot since I've dealt with you since the R6 IGG stuff!

I'm a DAP guy, so no experience with ifi but I hear good things.... Don't really foresee myself making a venture out of DAP world any time soon.... Unless someone can really convince me otherwise.

I do like amps... I just don't want to use my phone and can't use my work laptop due to security restrictions. You've got a good one with Joe. He cares about the customers and the sound.... A lot more than one of his previous sponsors....

Good to know iFi has bass heads like me covered if DAPs die off.

Got them in , they are clean transparent and powerful and when you activate bass boost , subbass rumble engaged staying linear always

I hear you and in my previous work many years ago (good old iMod days...) I had the same problem.

Affirmative and we're happy he's with us!

Hopefully they won't. The more ways there are to listen to music, the better. But sure, we'll be around once you decide to move from DAPs

Does anyone have a recommendation for a bass head IEM, specifically focused on the sub bass? I have a lot of bassy IEMs with good sub bass, but I haven’t found one with very loud/prominent sub bass rumble. It may be the limitations due to physics, but I have yet to truly have “subwoofers in my ears”, with that eerie sense of pressurization w/o actual tactile sensations. I do get a lot better sub bass from IEMs than most HPs though. It’s easy to get really potent mid bass slam also.

It’s not really just focused on the sub bass, b/c the mid bass hits insanely hard, but I found my bass head IEM! I received my UrbanFun YBF today, and WOW! I have never had an IEM that hits and rumbles this hard. It‘s definitely like having a subwoofer in my ears, or like sitting right next to a couple of huge, well ported 15 inchers. It definitely pressurizes my ears. I sure hope it doesn’t settle down much over time.

This thread needs revived. Looks like I need to spend some money on this never ending basshead quest..... The IMR Rah is great, but isolation is terrible. The uf ybf isso14 is good, but not good enough. The bq3 is fun, but there are new shiny objects.

Time to order some new stuff....

The TFZ No.3 and Fiio FH5 are as low as I would hazard to go.

FH5 feels like there's a Xenomorph XX121 , in it's final gestation period, in my head/upper torso
No.3, said Xenomorph XX121 is about to burst out.

Hmmmm. That's what I'm going for...

If the 7hz i99 and the woojer strap thingy I ordered don't scratch my itch the FH7 and FH5 are on my short list.

 

[Cuebbing]

I have the TFZ No3, FIIO FH7 & FH5. To me they are all 'bassy' but not what I think of as 'basshead'. Of the three the FH7 is my preferred, more of an audio 'complete package'. With EQ I can get the bass to thump pretty good.

Hey all. New member here. I've been scrolling through this forum thread trying to find an ideal pair of bass-oriented IEM's and have been, so far, lost. There have been lots and lots of different suggestions and opposing viewpoints on here, and wanted to get some specific outlook. My only requirement is MAX $200 (ideally under). I've also compiled a list of buds that I've looked at and listed them below. Hardware is a Topping D10 and a Liquid Spark for at-home use and planning on a BTR5 for mobile use.

Of those the TFZ no.3 and urbanfun are the most bass oriented. The Sony is as well but it's not up to snuff all around.

TFZ is the safer bet quality control wise...

Bqeyz bq3 is also very bass oriented....
