I've been using UE Super.Fi 5 EB for about a year now and am very pleased by their quality and quantity of bass reproduction.
However, I'm thinking about upgrading to custom IEMs (or the Shure E500) - Head-Fi makes me do these things!
I don't think I can live anymore with a lot less bass than the EB's deliver (so Etymotic isn't for me, I assume).
I'm using my EB's mostly unamped, straight from my iAudio X5L or Echo Indigo DJ PCMCIA card. Sometimes they're plugged into a PA2V2 out of a Echo Gina (1st generation) card. I'd like to use my future IEM also without amp, if possible.
Can anyone recommend any of the upper-class IEMs that would satisfy my lust for bass? I read that the E500s do have better bass than the UE10, and that the ACS T2 are very nice, too... The UE-Hybrid don't seem to be the best idea for me, since they're 'open' and don't provide enough isolation. Should I wait for the UE XXX? Or should I consider other brands, like Westone or Sensaphonics, too?
I'd be grateful for any comments, concerning any brand of IEM, and how they behave in the bass regions.
