Help me choose a bass heavy IEM -> un-amped

The bass output of a headphone is much more than just the size of the driver. It depends on the orientation, the quality of the driver, the material of the driver, the type of enclosure it's in. I know the UE super.fi 5 EB's are about the best bass heavy earphones in existence. However, if they truly are out of your price range then I would take a look at dynamic earphones. Not many good multidriver bassy earphones can be had for less than £70. None really come to mind right now. The Bass freq's by V-moda are very bass heavy but I don't know about the quality of those. My personal advice would be to save a little more and get the UE Super.fi 5 EB's I know you'd be happy with those and they're very durable and have replaceable cables in case the cables ever tear. I know online you can get them for around £100. $150 USD

Super.fi 5 EB has more / less or equal bass as SE530?

Do not go with CX300s. Just don't. M5 is great but out of your price range. I would go for the c551's since they are closer to your price range and provide just what you described, with all around good SQ. But why is it so expensive? Isn't 1 pound around 2 dollars? These headphones are $55, so shouldn't they be around 30 pounds? Or are things more expensive in the UK?

Super.fi 3 is very bass anemic.
People say ER6i has accurate bass but doesn't have alot of punch.
I'd assume the same for the D-Jays, probably good bass but not punchy.

That would be the Creative EP-630 ($25) - very bassy. With a good seal you should hear a bloated, muddy, overwhelming, thundering, crazy, farting bass. It so bassy it overpowers and drowns all other freqs such as the vocals and the treble! Now spend another 20 bucks or so and get CX300 from sennheiser which is less bassy

With the actual promotion you will also receive a free FiiO E3, kind of useful when you need more basses

One pound is actuallly $1.48 right now, pretty sh## bearing in mind it was over $2 before.

And stuff is more expensive over here, an ipod classic is £180, so $270, and Westone UM1's are £70-80, so about $120+
The gaps not as bad as it used to be, an iPod classic over here last year was almost twice as expensive if you converted it to $

I love denon c700, see if you can buy a pair for cheap..



Wow, that's a crazy price.

energie: what's the website to get the MylarOne 3's? will it be $57 inc delivery to the UK?

To the poster that suggested I get a pair of Klipsch X10s, I think the offer only applies to US residents??
