WRT the CX300 in-ear monitor (IEM) I found this:

Which seems to confirm about 15 dB of bass 'enhancement'.

alone a flat response). Actually I suspect ear canal
resonances may play a role.


I'm late to this thread, but wondered if anyone knows of
phones with -attenuated- treble. I'd ideally like to find
phones with very rich, solid mids and sharp rolloff
above. Kind of like the stock iPod phones, but even more
in that direction.


Koss "The Plug" are IME very bassy.
