I started out with entry level and mid level IEMs from audio technica and sennheisers, mid tier ciems then bought a few chifi like the early KZs, then took a plunge buy expensive campfire ciem, now all the entry and mid ones also neglect and seldom pick them up
whenever have time to quietly listen to some music, auto grab the campfire ciem, because while the chifi ones sound is bang for buck, my ears quite picky with the universal fits and can't truly enjoy chifis

yeah, old gear sits around at a certain point in time
but it's good if u "stabilize" with Airpods and not getting poisoned any further

until i became one of them...

Is it me or the bass on this ballad is just crazy.... it is constant low rumbling bass with long decay...

Use Planar listen ish ok...use sennheiser start to distort liao

 

[tuckloong]

Me find this song also good to hear whether your IEM/Headphones etc pump too much bass

 

[BlackWing1977]

I was using Castor Pro (Bass) and all switches on...

I just switch to Hydro and it is less rumbling but still there but far milder.. and it has that sparkle that makes the vocals and music more alive.. which is something I find missing from the Castor Pro.

wa no wonder try with PRX la

 

[BlackWing1977]

wa no wonder try with PRX la

Yeah zero rumbling feel... can hear it but cannot feel it...

Edit: Just ignore the above comment, I was using the Spinfit W1 tips on it.. it somehow did not seal very well dunno is it the nozzle too small thus loose fitting... then I change to its default foam tip and the song sounds a lot of better.. but still dun have that heavy bass rumbling feel though.. but definitely can feel the bass.. just that the decay of it is like very fast.. hit and go like that.

Even changing to the CP100+ also have the same bass... maybe even enhance the bass quality over the default foam tips.

Then did a ear tips swap between PRX and Castor Pro... with the Spinfit W1 on the Castor Pro the extreme rumbling feel seems to be more tempered...

I recently bought a second pair of the Spinfit W1 from Amazon SG when the L size is back in stock at $12+... but too bad cannot fit on PRX.. maybe in future I buy another pair of better IEM then use on it.

[tuckloong]

[BlackWing1977]

Damn... another spinfit more expensive than budget IEMs..

 

[BlackWing1977]

Is it weird I love listening to this song on my IEMs?
