is eterna really this boomy or is it a fit issue

the boomy bass is too obvious for me prolly coz the only headphones i use previously is the hd555 and im used to tight puchy bass that comes and goes away quickly...

i do enjoy the mids better than the recessed mids on the hd555.. but dang with eterna when the bass comes you'll know whos the boss...
it shoves other sound asides.. needing me to EQ to appreciate the mids (take away the bass a bit)
sounds fantastic after that...
A case in point just try to play hey there delilah by plain white T's... i can only appreciate the singer's emotion in his voice after EQ'ing
but this all is a bit expected reading through all the post at headfi on this similar thread...

and yeah fitting is very very very important... stick to deep will cause the bass to be unbearably boomy...
too shallow it will sound like inside a tin can ... only sometimes can i get that magical centre and boy the sound is worth it...
not hifi per se... just very very enjoyable... ill try with comply foam tips later and see if it would helps...

am i dissapointed? no.. i bought it fully knowing its a basshead iem and i want something portable and enjoyable...
so yeah there you go.. its time for me to enjoy the music without being too critical on the sound
