LOL title should read BASS boost.

Frankly my head is spinning. So many choices and no clear cut fave.

I have an E-11, E-7, E-6, E-02 and ZO but use the ZO with my desktop.

I want a portable that has the best SUBbass adder (selectable would be good). Battery life at minimum 10+ hours preferred. Probably a new brand from Fiio but not sure what is very small, good battery life and a bass switch.

Source is iPhone 5 or 4.

Thoughts?

Just want something that is for SUBbass more. Fiio tends to be more mid or so it seems to me. The ZO is what I think fits my need but what ELSE is here?

The LF switch is the thing you want to read about.

thats just the thing i dont like about hardware eq - you cant control whats boosted. i use a software eq and so dont have alot of experience, but i do own the e11 and i prefer the BB of the jds labs cmoy. its not sub-bass oriented (i wish it were...) but it boosts almost 10 dB. which is higher than the e11 boosts, which is ~6 dB on the second option.
 
on another thought, since you didnt mention your budget, why not take a look at the C5? the boost does start at ~1 kHz like the rest of them (if i remember correctly), but it peaks at ~80 Hz, suggesting a slightly thicker sub-bass feel. however, i havent heard it myself, so i wouldnt know personally.
 
good luck
