Just wondering, which has more bass? The ksc75 or the ne8?

As a point of reference I have a pair of JMLab towers that are flat to about 40hz but then roll off smoothly with probably nothing below 30hz. I also have a subwoofer, but only use it for video/movies and turn it off for pure music listening because the bass from the towers is more accurate, even if not as extended. If anyone has these and the Westone UM1s I'm also considering those. Comfort is a big factor to me as well and the Westones seem to good rewiews on that. Sorry if I'm rambling |

The comply T500 tips really helped get a better idea of what they can do due to the isolation. I also have the KSC75 and there is more bass with the KSC75 but where there is a big difference is more clarity in the mids and highs of the NE8. |

The NE-8 do seem to have a little more clarity and soundstage, but because of the difficulty getting them to fit and seal due to the shape vs my funny ears I will pick the NE-7M. I would say these are very close to the ER6i in most areas, and are a good sounding IEM for the price. It is not a PL-30 without bass knobs because it has different drivers made specifically for Nuforce, and according to peeps who have heard both the NE-8 offer better clarity. |
