May I know if anyone has any idea for an upgrade over Tin Audio T2? I'm looking for the same quality of mids and highs but has better bass. It doesn't matter if its a DD/Hybrid/BA and budget would be around $300. I love the mids and highs of this IEM I just want it to have better bass and for the meantime, I used a copper cable with Spinfits CP100 to compensate. Bass has good quality I'm just looking for more ooommppfffhhh!

I use an EQ with my Tin T2 Pro and the Bass is very good .

There are several IEMs and Headphones that I own that are lacking in some way and a good Equalizer will shape the sound to my liking.

But I've owned an Audiosource One since The 80s and unlike some I find it to be a great tool.

Haven't touched EQ yet but I experimented with bass boost from an Amp. It does the job but it's a hassle for me to go with a stacked portable while on the move. Haven't tried the bass boost mod as well as I'm afraid blocking the vents would be bad for the driver due to increased pressure.

Even I don't tote an EQ with me so I see how that would be an issue.
There are mobile options for EQ like the Poweramp player that I use but admittedly none are perfect.

Well I own the Audiosense T800 (8 knowles BA per side) and it is slightly U shaped with very great bass, which sounds almost like a DD bass due to its vented subwoofer and tuning. $298 USD.
The details, sounstage, clarity and instrument separation are the best I have in my IEM collection. It is bright so if you like treble it will suit you to a tee.

Thank you for the suggestion. I also find T800 interesting but there's no way for me to demo this first without buying but with its price along with the free DHL shipping I think it's a good deal. I read your review and its awesome.

You can check out the dedicated Audiosense thread here:
https://www.head-fi.org/threads/audiosense-in-ear-monitors-impressions-thread.909718/

Some owners compare it to TOTL stuff and I think the only drawback to this IEM is it is very bright, so treble sensitive people should find another set. Unless like some users in the above thread do a knowles filter/damper mod to tame the treble and increase soundstage.
