Try kz castor pro bass/kz duonic or kz decet And you better never use something like dolby atmos, it usually destroy iem sound https://preview.redd.it/shhwv66i42eg1.jpeg?width=1438&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4498c30b3c890c5a755b34227fecad09a58d86b0

If you want bass, get kz decet, tbh airpods 2 pro are not that bassy https://preview.redd.it/gidylyveeuhg1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=547c58d95866c18d82652f6b84258ca8caa75db9

You should try the KZ Decet, they sound terrible out of the box, but once you EQ them, I personally think they sound better than the Hydros once you EQ the bass down and fiddle with the mids and highs, you can get the same detail as the Hydros, with a bit more bass that rounds off the sound just that tad bit better imo.

Recently received my first iems (KZ Decet). They could be smaller and lighter, but I'm loving the bass slam I get from 5 dynamic drivers in each ear. They were my first purchase from AliExpress, so I got them for $19.27. I also upgraded the cable to the KZ 8 core silver/blue cable for 14.37 and got a Jcally JM6 Pro for $16.65 and a $2.14 case bringing my total to $52.43, not including tips. I have tried a few and have more coming. The best so far have been the inverted stock tips. I couldn't get a good seal with either the Kiwiflex or Sancai tips. I've got some more on the way. https://preview.redd.it/rwo193l72rdg1.jpeg?width=1987&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=23167c098a56b40675f89fd7e6e182ac22368ccd

The foams that came with them sound good, but get uncomfortable after a while. I've got a cheap pair of hybrids (silicone over foam) and a KZ set that has foam and silicone tips on the way. I'm still constantly adjusting Poweramp EQ, but I'm getting them to sound pretty damned good. I mostly listen to classic rock and Chicago blues and I'm loving the bass on these puppies.

These are my first iems. KZ Decet. I love the bass on these! https://preview.redd.it/80uynahpwzdg1.jpeg?width=2286&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2a5e4496d571e108f8f74ae269354fcfd907b2ad 5 Dynamic Drivers in each ear. Got mine for less than $20. I recommend a DAC/amp like the Jcally JM6 PRO and they need EQ to really bring that bass out.

If you are looking for more bass, I recommend the KZ Decet. 5 dynamic drivers in each ear are a lot of fun

KZ Decet would be an upgrade for not much more money. People say they paid $40-50 for them, but I got them for less than $20. It's my first iem and I'm loving them. With EQ, they have fantastic bass if that's your thing.

Decet was my first purchase from AliExpress so I got the first time discount. Recently used coins for a new cable and got some Sancai tips for $2.22. They should be here any day.

KZ Decet. The bass is really fun for 20 bucks!

KZ Decet rocks! 5 dynamic drivers in each ear. Great for Chicago blues and classic rock. You'll need a good seal to hear the bass. Best tips for me so far are the Dunu S&S tips.

I've been waiting to hear from people who know that good rock or Chicago blues needs to be felt deep in the chest. You need to be close to a good fireworks show for the same reason (gotta love those aerial bombs!) I picked KZ Decet as my first iem. Upgraded to the KZ silver blue cable and added a JCally JM6PRO into a Moto G Power phone. I was so happy to get a decent phone that still had a headphone jack, but the JM6PRO made it useless. That dongle gave everything from my Koss Porta Pros to my AKG K52s better bass with more punch. I'm using Poweramp parametric EQ making many changes a day for the last month. It's been fun and frustrating at the same time. I'm still trying to get more body out of male vocals and a little less sizzle out of cymbals without muddying things up. 5 dynamic drivers in each ear will give your head the bass it needs, but it doesn't make it to the chest. I got the Decets for just under $20. I'm pretty sure I'd have to pay a lot more to get something with noticeably better bass. If you appreciate big Cerwin Vegas, you'll like the Decet. https://preview.redd.it/koaxviqoaqjg1.jpeg?width=3072&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d32ad00924b8228e394ae75ba82517d6cf2c60bc

The kz decet of all the iems I've ever heard its got the most like thump of all of them. I am not sure that its that they have any more bass than others in a measurable way but it seems to hit harder.

For the price, I really like KZ Gale and EDX Pro 2 (coming in the mail). They have almost the same exact tuning, except EDX Pro 2 has higher bass overall. Nice smooth treble, vocals aren't pushed back, sibilance is minimal, and bass is satisfying. I still can't believe I only paid $7 for Gale. Crazy value. ZVX Pro, EDC Pro, Libra X, Vader, Trio, Hydro, Saga, all pretty good, although I certainly wouldn't pay full price for any of those, only on a good sale. I like Decet with a good EQ the most of all my KZ IEMs. I heard Zenith is really good too but never ended up buying one.
