I sure wish iems had dynamic style bass. I feel totl iems beat many many 500$ to 1500$ full size headphones.. But the armature bass reminds me it's an Iem everytime.... I love my iems... And have sold all my full size cans solely for the sound IeMs offer... But surely some nice slam is missing.. One day I'm sure this will be old news

I think that BA IEMs can offer some serious slam, and are often more focused than dynamic drivers. Dynamic drivers are sometimes too slow on the bass. BA are sometimes too fast. Neither are necessarily better on bass quantity or quality, in my opinion.

Very true. Really depends on how they set them up. I've heard terrible bass from DD and excellent bass from BAs. No guarantees that because of the driver you will have the general characteristics of said driver.

nogi replicant I experienced same issue, K10s fit me better.

Yes it can, but it doesn't produce it the way dynamics do. The best BAs can be tuned for a really solid bass, as in the K10 or the katana, but in terms of the visceral impact of these earphones and the decay, I would not be getting a BA IEM over a dynamic IEM if my primary goal was an incredible bass slam. That said, BAs do other things very well, and they tend to have sharper and more precise imaging and a larger soundstage.

Well said.


One day.... Things will be different and maybe these days won't be missed as far as bass goes.

I'm not a basshead at all, I prefer resolution and clarity above all else. But I do miss some good bass here and there.

Se846 did the best job in bass on IEMs I've ever heard... But its veiled overall sound, peak(ey) sound turned me off

 

[warrior1975]

There are some iems, with ba drivers that slam. Tralucent Plus5, 5 bags driver, hits just as hard as CA Vegas. But for the most part, I agree with WCDchee.

 

[EagleWings]

I can agree with the decay part. But there are some BA IEMs that offer the slam and visceral impact of DDs. A good example would be Earsonics Velvets.

From my someone limited experience driver type seams to give a distinct flavor that independent of quantity OR quality, but i haven't heard any these note worthy DD like ba units.

what i'm wondering about is ultimate low end extension. can the headphone reproduce the lowest synthetic notes from EDM and hip hop tracks? Using this simple you tube video to test, my LCD-3's are audible from the very start at 20 hz with about the same volume i perceive at ~14500 khz. how deep can your favorite IEM go? very interested in hearing from k10/mojo owners.

yes, I know I´m using comply now, but I think I prefer the ones that came with the package. Better fit and comfort for me...

Then u best order them direct from the web site, (accessories section) as they are not "branded,"  we buy them factory direct, you wont find them any where else.   You may find their equivalent, but I can't send you directly to the manufacturer, as they are a B 2 B type business, and you would have to order them by the thousands, not by a few units.
 
 
(sorry my fellow enthusiast)

For the folks out there wanting of a K10 UA (Red Silver/internal Original K10 design)  
 
The above link is a fine opportunity, as Noble (the company) does not have any K10 UA in inventory, and we are no longer building them.
 
 
 
 
The current flagship products offered directly from Noble are:
 
 
Katana
 
 
Kaiser Encore

Thank´s
The thing is that I´m only in for the foam ones.
They are great for the fact you can slide them until the very end of the iem body. They are the best I´ve tried!!!
 
And by the way, thank you for making the most amazing, best sounding, more beautiful IEM in the world!
