To me those are basshead levels, my tastes are different in this aspect though. How many customs have you tried? that's far too broad to be true imo. Having more bass isn't always a good thing, the more bass an iem the more lower midrange clarity you compromise no matter how refined, it's a compromise.
umm, i've got 3 with me at the moment, 1 re-shelled shure420 done by UM/rooth? 1 shure 535 modified to the same construction as LS8(by rooth), and 1 16pro re-shell....
might be i didnt make it clear again, well what i meant is that to me, generally speaking, such like comparing mine se420 for before&after getting it re-shelled
i just find myself getting better bass impact from after re-shelling it, and from my little bit of knowledge that i guess its mainly due to better and tight fit. in which it allows the bass of 420 to be delivered in a better manner than before.
Such saying that i tend to get more bass then before, without having anything done to the configuration of the drives and crossover.
From this i got a rough impression that even when i have the exact same configuration IEM and CIEM together i would probably get better bass from CIEM instead.
and talking of demos that i've tried, i've tried the ES3x and ES5 demo, and will be trying out the demo for IERM/Em6/MG6Pro later on this year.....
but from the 2 ES series demo, even when it's universal fit demo, i just found that they have much more bass than my shures(when they were still universal fits)
talking of which beside the fitting issue, i think i got my idea of "CIEM's got better/stronger bass than IEM" came from the fact that most of the CIEM's house a much larger bass drive than regular universal fits....that allow CIEM's to deliver stronger and better bass....
talking of which , i got stb to run a FR curve scan of the xba4, and surprisingly that the FR response of xba4 does not turn out to be as how i would be expecting ; a big peak? bump at bass , as it's got that "sub-bass drive"
but rather it's got a sharp peak at around 6~7KHz, which i think its consistent to my hearing experience about its hights being hush/rough and sharp .......
anyway see ya
