So I collected my ie800s today from my local HiFi store - yep, I bought bricks and mortar! Anyhow, I'm having a nightmare of a time with the supplied tips for isolation. I'm getting zero bass from anything other than the medium tips supplied and even then it's extremely weak. For reference, my Klipsch x10is have a much deeper bass line - but then they insert much deeper so I get a great seal. I'm not sure where this will end up but I'm beginning to get bothered by the fact that none of my stock of tips from Shure, UE, Klipsch, Sony will get me out of a hole here....
Try the smallest tips and go over the ear. I get a nice deep , tight for that way. Great bass, great treble texture compared to normal insertion ie wire dangling straight down.
