Agree with you. I definitely had to EQ the bass down a bit. Overall though a great value IEM from what Im hearing so far.

Finally got CKM500 on my hand yesterday... this phone doesn't have the usual AT "sin" of unnaturally thin treble... (some may like that smooth hair splitting treble, but to me, there is no such cymbal sounding like that)... So, one good point for me that CKM500 tuning is willing to escape from that signature... which I don't like...
secondly, the bass is actually a bit too strong to my liking.. and on some material has tendency to color the mid. I tested equalized down the bass and the clarity improve quite a bit (because the mid is not colored anymore...)
third, IMHO, equalized down a bit on the bass, this CKM500 would be good enough for stage monitor... it compete with GR07 (based on very short listening though)...
forth, the clarity is there, but it is still sound like a dynamic phone in general... still would not be mistaken for BA..
in all... it is a very good value product... will continue the burn in a long this week....
Thanks for the beautiful recommendation David (Dsnuts)... Now... I'm looking forward on the FXD80/70 impressions... whether it would be worth the price difference to FXC80...
