I'm using the small sized tips right now. The mediums were too big in my ears. I have some Olives, if I can find them.
Try out some RHA MA750s. Looks like what your looking for.
I know the comparison has been made before, but I'm still struggling to decide between the FXZ200 and the CKS1000. I listen to a lot of Indie/Alternative (typically fast-paced & upbeat) as well as a bit of drum and bass and some dubstep remixes. I'm more than well aware that the two will change over time and that the burn-in needed on the CKS1000 is significant (I'd be willing to go the 400+ hours) but in the end, when both IEM's have reached full maturity, which provides the harder hitting mid-bass? I'm looking for the IEM that has the greatest kick and most significant "punchiness" (really make my ears and head FEEL the hit - not necessarily as interested in the low-end sub-bass rumble). Also, how do these two compare in microphonics and isolation?
@Dsnuts I'm sure you can be of some help in this matter, and if so, thank you in advance!
Much appreciated,
Matt
[EDIT] P.S. I feel like I should mention that I won't be amping either of these. Both will be used directly from an iPhone 5 and MacBook Pro, so perhaps one of these is easier to drive, or on the other hand, will loose "punchiness" without an amp?
The DENON AH-C300 seem to be the KING of "bass punch", without being muddy in the mids. Read the whole AH-C300 impressions thread. It is just 5 pages long, so far. There, you will find comparisons between the AH-C300 and the FXZ200, FX700, CKS1000 and the CKS77X, from Euphonik.

Thanks, Alberto01. I was actually looking at the C300 all week, but when I could not find any comparisons with the CKS1000 or FXZ200, it started to slowly fade off of my list. Now that I've read Euphonik's recent reviews/comparisons, as well as given it some more thought, I believe I'll be pulling the trigger on the C300. I wanted something available on Amazon Prime in the U.S., and I also planned on purchasing some Comply tips - now that I know the C300 comes with Comply tips already and is available for only $79.99 I'm just going to take it as a steal! Thanks

AH-C300's bass is clean and punchy. Between being tight (sharp) and boomy (spread out impact), it is somewhat boomy. But it is not loose (unfocused) at all, like a bad quality bass would be. Mids are clean, natural and placed between being centered and forward. Highs need help with an equalizer. If you don't have small ears and small ear canals, these should fit you fine with or without the ear stabilizers. If you have small ears or small ear canals, I don't know if these will fit you well.

Luckily I don't have small ears (I'd say average to slightly above average). I actually just placed the order on Amazon now (excited!). As far as EQ'ing the highs goes, what do you recommend? Also, is there an iPhone app that does a significant job of EQ'ing sound? (I'm kinda new to that department...)
Thanks again
I use good old Drum n Bass a 5 hours compilation on a loop..People swear by colored noise. I tried it on several occasions but always reverted back to my drum n bass compilation. Fairly loud volume is key.
Ya it comes with a remote extension for smart phones and the like. Never tried the extension but I am sure it works good. These are easy to drive so you should have no issues with using them on an iphone.
Hello, i have my CKS1000 nowbut i have an issue, my right side hits 50-30 hz more, and left side 60-100 but in songs i can feel right is hitting more bass. I dont have a seal problem. Tried with many tips. Is that normal?
You burn in your phones? If not I would definitely burn them in for a good long while. Leave them overnight and see if a full night of burn in fixes this issue. I have never seen an AT phone once have an imbalance issue. Unless your chord is cutting out.
