music preference - heavy bass

Oooo...V5 already!

@FieryAeon
XB500 is comfy. I do agree that it doesn't completely drown out the details la. I think the bass is very hard...tuk tuk lidat, not that natural. Anyway, it's still a good pair of BASSY headphone! Hahahaha..

O ya...am thinking of getting UE700 in the future... any other IEM which is closer to the sound signature of the UE700?
