So i got the PL30.. so far im LOVING what they do.. with their airy presentation and crystal clear sound. I seem to have one issue... when im sleeping i keep the volume very low.. at that level the PL30's lose ALOT of detail, bass and the sound seems very distant.. as in its coming from far.. and i can feel the foam against my ear. Can anyone tell me what to do to help it? I have the option to buy the fiio E1.. will that help? I dont want louder volume.. just the same level of fun at low volume... Im using an ipod touch.

Hi, 
 
I'm not an expert (in fact this is my first post), but the issue should be the effect of the Fletcher-Munson curves:

at low volume the perceived intensity of low and high frequences is attenuated. You can solve it by simply equalizing your headphones.
