Ah that bass is something special on these. The spiral dots may be contributing to this but I am not finding many songs where I'm thinking there is too much bass. This definitely happened with the Aten but a/b ing songs with the Rah and the Aten earlier there was a big difference.
A lot of Otis Redding was too bassy on the Aten but is just right for me with the Rah. Same for a lot of early soul where they were recorded with everyone in the same studio. I'm still on black/ black.
Curiosity got the better of me today and I tried your suggestion to use the bottom filter only.
Made a big difference and you were right the top end opens up and that 3d sound was increased.
At first I was thinking I'd turned the Rahs into a set of KZ's as the bass was muted and the highs very bright.
Not sure if my ears adjusted to this but some tunes I listened to this was the best i'd ever heard them. Orbital - The Girl with Sun in Her Head blew me away like this. Male vocals seemed improved as well. Needs more experimentation. This and the earfits could be a great match.
I’ve never heard any KZ’s but I think I know what you mean. I think I had a similar experience but I believe it was how they were fit into the canal, basically not deep enough as that is what mutes the bass and to say the bass is light on Rah is impossible lol. This is part of the reason I said it’s not for everybody, some people said the Zenith filter was not long enough so going shorter could cause a bad seal but I prefer to get them snug to minimise the sticking out of the ear. Im currently trying @Skullar blue bass set up and so far so good. I think the Sedna earfits are essential if going lower nozzle only due to how they fit the nozzle.
