"Ive listeneto the scarlet which has crazy deep 4 12s type bass."
"Scarlet Mini has just enough bass but nothing I've ever heard comes close to it without a bass shelf EQ"
"If you want even more bass quantity though the Scarlet Mini is definitely worth it still one of my favorites because I'm a bass degenerate."

"Scarlets if you eq all the way up on the bass, it be all bass that would overwhelm the music. I think it would be too much. ... Scarlets bass is more thumping which I think would really cover up the rest of the spectrum. ... I would say the scarlet has more bass but more isn't necessarily better."
"Origin would be an overall better iem as it's more of an open stage and quality of bass more than just non stop thumping."

"I've listened the FatFreq Scarlet Minis and they are not even close to QKZ & HBB Hades. ... The punch-slam-rumble you get from them is incomperable."

FederalWheel1168 1.0I have a 1964 Ears CIEM, a Sony Z1R but all replaced by FatFreq Scarlet Mini. This tiny IEM brings joy listening countless hours. I revived my Cayin N6II DAP bcoz of it.

Mr_robasaurus 1.0Fatfreq scarlet or mini would be my choice for a basshead set, and maybe a 64 audio u4s on sale? then again i'd probably just drop the full 1400 on a basshead set since I think the top pro already fulfills your first ask.

raymartin27 1.0For bass go with Fatfreq Scarlet Mini, you'll not get bass like that in anything else. For warm, try Mega5est bass edition
RemoteFluffy8208 1.0With what you currently own I would say as an upgrade but more of the same and improved I would say go for the Symphonium Titan. I own everything on the second list barring the Flipears Legion(Which I'm looking to grab depending on how it compares to the Aegis). But I would say Titan has some of the best bass texture in the game without sacrificing too much from the other frequencies. I will say at least for me though Titans are very tip dependent and with their short nozzle can be a slightly hard to find the perfect tips for them. If you want even more bass quantity though the Scarlet Mini is definitely worth it still one of my favorites because I'm a bass degenerate.
Xairax07 1.0I've listened the FatFreq Scarlet Minis and they are not even close to QKZ & HBB Hades. If you are a true basshead go for Hades. The punch-slam-rumble you get from them is incomperable. But you'll loose some detail, when you crank them up it's not bad they are capable. They take EQ and power like a champ too...
yellowmnm 1.0Nobody in here mentioned the fatfreq scarlet mini. That one is bassier than all the rest. Martilo isn't bassy enough for you I bet. A bassy headphone is way better in my opinion though. IEMs don't interact with your whole ear the way headphones do.
Yodamanjaro 1.0I own the MEST 2s and FATfreq Scarlet Mini and the MEST has very lean bass if you're a basshead. Scarlet Mini has just enough bass but nothing I've ever heard comes close to it without a bass shelf EQ
