They don't lack exactly but I was waiting a lot more from the tuning. Testing was on 0 0 setting, bass down - highs down .
Bass boost I'm meant + 9db at 30 hz only for testing.
With bass up doesn't lack bass at all. Bass is more than enough , bass is better 95 % of any dynamic driver iem and has the best bass of any BA iem for sure. Because I know how capable the 38aj sonion woofers are I was waiting this shocking performance they have .
I listen to my V14s with a simple cable from Noble audio. And if they are with Anole VX, then they are not inferior to them. I listen to music without any equalizers.

I had Anole VX and I sold it because I preferred the V14. They are both detail monsters but V14 has better bass, more energy, better stage and a more natural timbre....with EQ
I was hesitant too in the beginning but EQ can be a game changer. But if you're fully satisfied wit V14 stock signature that's also perfect.
Where are the vent holes on your iems ? On the back of the bass drivers or at right side like my iems ? I saw some other v14s and the vents was behind the bass drivers.

It’s been a while, but I’ve been putting in some solid listening time on my V14’s and I’m really enjoying it. With the custom fit, I realise that tip rolling can have a big effect on how much I got the tip rolling wrong with these IEMs.
Early on, I was going for a really deep fit. This didn’t work as the bass was good but not quite right. It just seemed like it was detail without the impact.
now with a shallower fit, in CIEM, I have both switches up and there is a more pleasant warmth that makes them more organic and gives the set more balance. In contrast to the Monarchs, the V14’s are more musical and have have more warmth and weight that make a me feel like they are more alive and fun.
reflecting back on my previous comparison between the MEST mk1 and the V14, the V14s have greater coherency across the highs mids and lows, where as the MEST seems to have a fast decay for the highs and to a lesser extent mids, but noticeably longer decay in the lows that makes them sound a bit off at times.
It’s great when you realise that your gear grows with you and changes as your awareness and understanding gains depth and breadth.
