"The only universal IEM that comes close to them for me in fit is the Mega5est."
"If you can only afford one, I would say saving up for MegaBass if you have medium-small ears. ... The shell is much smaller and comfortable to wear, and with CIEM being an option."
"usually sit for a long time"

"cannot understand anyone saying the Mega5est is better in any way -- it's not even close -- except price."
"find it hard to justify the extra 250. ... Bought them blind, which was a mistake ... I hesitate to recommend someone to dish out more than 500 bucks on an IEM!"
"but that costs $589 ... at obviously way too much money"

"the Mega5EST really relies on tip rolling to get the best performance. ... I prefer the Tea Pro with stock eartips over the Mega5EST Bass+ with stock eartips"
"want more punch and slam without veil all frequency"
"Vocals and the midrange just doesn't sound as natural as the oracle MK1 or any monarch iem. Especially when listening to jazz."

"They're probably "good" to most everyone, but they're only potentially better than the HE-1 if they happen to match your HRTF. ... It also doesn't make them an inherently better product, this can only ever be judged per individual person."
"I dislike these meta tuned IEMs, mostly, because they sound incredibly unnatural to me. Bassy, recessed mids, too much treble in weird ranges. My HRTF and these tunings usually *do not* get along."

"I feel the Bass+ just doesn’t have enough punch to be considered a bass head iem or even be called Bass+. ... Should’ve called it baby Bass."
"want more punch and slam without veil all frequency"
"The bass boost version is a **negligible** amount of bass."
