EDIT: I will add that the spiral dots are a great tip upgrade. The bass is a touch less aggressive, which is helpful, and the wider bore seems to let them breathe more.
That said, I am still absolutely baffled by reviews I've seen from people suggesting they either had to EQ the bass up and treble down or that bass lovers would dislike these. I wonder if some people just could not get a seal because no matter what tip I've used, bass is incredibly prominent.
Glad to see the spiral dots are doing you right. I completely agree about the bass because I had the exact same thought the moment I put the BEs in my ears and fired up some music. IMHO the sound signature is an elevated sub-bass and lower bass then a very even balance with just the slightest bend up at 10khz-14khz. I don't have any way to test my opinion but for me I love the sound signature and it is exactly what I have been looking for.
