Bought IQ PRO because of shigzeo's review, I am glad I did, they sound fantastic, the bass is the best quality I've heard from any iem, period, and I've had plenty of iems (see sig). It is not for bass heads at all, on the contrary it has very tactile and textured bass, with just the right amount of decay for perfection. The mid's are as good as the bass, they are open and lush, clear and detailed. The treble is inoffensive yet detailed, and very lush sounding to the point of losing some clarity, for example the treble sounds more like 'SHH' rather than 'TSS', but on the other hand creates an excellent atmosphere.
A reminder that I am using the PRO version which fixes some faults of the regular IQ version, and that these iem's should be used with T100 comply foam tips which they come with, for me the treble is never a problem. In fact I would even like a tiny bit more treble extension between 10khz-13khz, but if you look at measurement's of other BA iem's they all have treble roll off, some even worse than IQ PRO, for example K3003, 1Plus2, W60, XBA-Z5, etc, all have treble roll off after 10khz, BA iem's simply have a hard time with treble extension no matter how high end the iem is, the IQ PRO treble is actually audible up to around 13khz at +/- 10dB, so it is actually forgivable.
Bottom line is I can fully recommend the IQ PRO, they sound better to me than other iems I've had, some of which were more expensive, basically look at my sig, I prefer IQ PRO to all the iem's I've owned or currently own.
