Well, the Flare is not available any more sadly. By the way, I'll only use those with iPhone 6s.
So, should I buy these? I'm asking again because I've heard the sub bass is awful.
maybe be cautious about how you explain this. I own no IEM with as much sub bass as the IE80 relatively to the midrange, so "really lacking" said like that out of context feels outstandingly wrong.
if you want sub bass, just turn up the screw. I wouldn't call the red measurement lacking relatively to bass, or to mids.
but obviously that is what I get with a tight seal. any failure to fit the IEM properly into the ear will result in rolled off subs. but that's true for almost all IEMs.
That's a great deal. I jumped on it. Internationally (outside EU) the included VAT will be taken out of the price, so you pay roughly 150 Euro plus shipping.
It is? Strange, the sub-bass on the IE80 is well extended. I'm using them at full bass settings, so that probably explains a bit. Still, I've never found them lacking.

You're right and I should have mentioned that I was not considering using them with the bass port opened at maximum because there is nothing but a bass wave which demolishes all other frequencies.
Even in the minimum bass setting the bass is too bloated for me. Only in the tape mod I found them to be ok but there is no sub-bass, just mid-bass.
So, I need an EQ for increasing the sub-bass but also to reduce the mid-bass - otherwise I'm back to unlistenable cases.
I tend to use the bass setting on mid and EQ the bass down a little(but then I EQ all my IEMs). except when I really want to have fun for a few songs and feel my skull shaking, then it's full on sub and bass with something like Daft Punk RAM, the highres master converted to mp3 that has so much more low end than the CD master(highres sounds different, no kidding, it's not the same song at all), and then it ends up pretty much like this:
Hi, I found IE80 IEMs on AliExpress (e.g. here) at quite low price - do you have any experiences?
Is their audio performance comparable to the original?
