Looking for IEMs for Bassheads
Apr 11, 2014 at 1:52 AM Post #16 of 101
I would recommend NuForce Ne-700 - they're inexpensive (I bought them for 60$) and generally quite good in mids ang hights, while delivering high quantity of bass. There is plenty of sub-bass so you'll hear the subwoofer like rumble.
Then there is Monster Gratitude - amazing bass but you need foams or different tips than they provide and bass boost helps a lot - their reaction to equalising is great. They're big and ergonomics are not good.
I had Klipsch S4 for 2 years and I liked them - given that you can get them for 35EUR (amazon.de) it's good quality/cost ratio.
From other IEMs in my collection I can recommend T-Peos H200 - but they'll set you back 200$.

I have both the SE215 as well as the Klipsch S4. The SE215 is a technically superior IEM. However, the S4 does offer you a very boomy bass almost to where I would personally classify them in the "bassy" category if that is what you are looking for.

HI!
 
Considering your budget, my recommendations would be:
 
Hisoundaudio Wooduo 2 - clear highs, decent mids and strong bass/sub bass
 
Sony XB90EX - smooth highs, very well mids and deepest bass/sub bass.
 
Cheers.

I've never heard them, but for your budget, the wooduo2 gets talked about a lot as a base heads dream

second getting the wooduo, there is a new version of it that i just picked up on ebay for 50 quid - comes in black and has volume control. considering they retail around 80, anything around 50 is a steal, of course if you are outside the EU and dont want to import im pretty sure i just saw a pair on the classifieds

JVC FX850 are bass head perfection.

Of course, but are outside the budget. In fact, the housing of Wooduo 2 is also of wood

 (rosewood) which provides a more natural timbre and deep bass extension. A cheapo version of the JVC FX850

I used the Klipsch S4 for a couple of years, they certainly have a good amount of bass but I agree that it is not the most detailed. I have just started using Yamaha EPH-100 and while they don't seem to have quite the amount of bass, it is much more detailed, impactful and just all round better. I definitely recommend the Yams if you can find them.
