Thanks. Obviously, we weren't going for a monster bass boost. Over the years, we've heard a lot of people say that they loved their ER4 earphones (either P or S) but wished it had a little bit more low end. We tried to dial it in so that it added a bit of low end weight but didn't impede too much on the midrange. We wanted to make sure it wasn't tubby sounding.
It's indeed a step in the right direction for those who listen to music outdoors including mass transit. I only wish it had been a smaller step, because the lower end now sounds a bit too "loose", somewhat to the detriment of detail in the mids and highs. Now, since I haven't seen the impedance curve for the new drivers, could anyone please elaborate (or speculate) on what is most likely to happen if I added, say, 40 Ohms to the XR? I'm aiming at tightening the bass and making the upper end more pronounced.
For me personally I'd say it's a "step in the the right direction" period. I want no more and no less.
