First of all, sorry if it is a dumb question but I have not found any satisfying answer regarding the matter.

I currently rock the 6xx with the E10k and they are really good for vocals and instruments. The bass is enough but I have realized that turning the bass boost does elevate the impressiveness at the expense of detail. I mostly listen to instruments and vocals so details are always my priority.

The problem is bass is that if I increase it, it lingers too long and drowns out the smaller details in the strings or rustling leaves for example. Is there a way to increase bass but make it dissipate quicker if that makes sense? Increasing bass makes it like the bass is reverberating in a big room. Kinda like putting the bass drum of an orchestra in a acoustically treated room so you hear the powerful bass but it does not reverberate too much to drown out the strings. I hope that makes sense.

Correct me on this but on my limited understanding, EQing means changing the decibels of the frequency? If so, maybe EQing certain frequency for certain loudness would solve that? So the louder bass is punchy but when it fades, it fades quickly because frequency is the same regardless of loudness?

Thanks in advance.

    Depends on the tech used I think.

    I’ve found that IEMs that use some variation of bone conduction for bass (EE Odin, FiR Frontier series, etc) have a huge benefit of the bass being distinct from the rest. I can EQ the tits off of my FiR for example and never lose definition in the mids or highs. I assume that’s because of the “kinetic bass” back vented DD they are using.
