As sfwalcer likes to say:
 


^ LMAO nah, they are just lacking in sub bass texture, depth and quantity. Mid bass quantity/ quality is fine so calm your titties meng.
 
But you can never have enough of dat phat B_ASS.

They do have sub-bass though.  Sure, there might be other cans out there which have more, but there are many, many models that don't have as much sub-bass as the Mikros.
 
 
Don't go spreading rumors that the Mikros is lacking sub-bass.

  I can literally hear the drivers crinkling as the pads push down against my ears.
It's unfortunate because while I like the sound, they're uncomfortable to me. 
Probably put them up for a cheap sale, or return them.

 
Before you sell them, stretch the headband.  My pair was a little too tight until I stretched them.

You must be used to more subbass.  The Mikros' subbass is fine.  It's flat, neutral, balanced.
 
I still do not know what "bass texture" or anything "texture" means.

Not sure if you meant the latter as a compliment or not, but regardless we'll take it as one. :)  
Oh and you MUST not have been on my threads cuz there ain't no better meng.

  Available at Newegg for $68.99, and they're offering a $20 rebate card between now and 2/28 ($48.99!).
 
They must really want to get rid of their stock...

^ OH WOW!!! CRAZY SWEET DEAL. Just emailed newegg to see if they will refund me the $20 for my ebay store order. If not i'll just refuse shipment and have them send it back. haha
 
D'YAM newegg is getting cut throat with the prices. NICE!!!
 
They want to steal all the customers from amazon it seems.

If you have heard basshead audiophile cans/iem like the ATH WS99, JVC FXZ200, ATH CKS1000s, Sony XBA-H3s you'll understand whatimeng.

^ Bass/ sub bass texture is LITERALLY the visceral sense of the bass that is felt not heard, well heard as well but yeah..... What i mean by this is that visceral/ gut sense of the music which the bass conveys.  When the sub bass is masterfully presented you can hear its deep throaty texture from the sub bass extension/depth hence there needs to be fullness in order to sound satisfying.
 
A lot of cans reaches deep into the sub bass regions, such as the Philips Fidelio X1s as well as these Logans (when not properly amped) but the sub bass lacks the fullness/ texture which makes it sound kinda boxy and flat. This is what i meant that there is "texture" and fullness to the sub bass.

fake red Beats cord better after burn in, still not there.
I'm from the "needs more bass" crowd, though, as stated earlier, it is intermittent, sometimes sounds fine, sometimes anemic.

I get that visceral sense of sub-bass with the M500's and WS99's. Will be interesting to see where the 90's fit in (assuming I ever friggin' get them lol)

Amazon confirmed my $10 credit.  If anyone ordered the ML90's at the $80 price and received delivery less than 1 week ago you should be able to get a credit for the $10 price drop.
