Kinda like the EJ’s retro faceplates

Lol no 
I already have certain headphones for that >=D
But a complete lack of rumble is depressing.
[edit]
Depressing because everything else (including bass tonality) the Teas do sounds great; 95% is blue balling. And because most of my library has some kind of bassline, whether it be Ambient, Bassy Rap, Dubstep (mellow and heavy) etc.
Especially for your type of music, my personal recommendation for you would be the Sennheiser IE300, its general tonal character is basically more intense, especially in the bass area.
If you then use the yellow tips (Fiio), the bass will take off your socks.

My thoughts on the IE300:

Haha, brilliant read.
Ok, well, from what I’ve read from you and other places, they do genuinely seem to do what I would want them to.
5.) There really doesn’t seem to be any mechanical load limit for the drivers, which I will explain below with a few song examples.
That had to be my favourite bit xD
This makes things very difficult though because
- They’re Sennheiser and I’m in the UK so… (vs the Chinese market)
- They’re extremely cheap (compared to the other IEM I’m considering)
Have you still got them; could you try a track for me please to see if there’s any rumble or just tone?
Also, do you have the Teas to compare to?
I actually returned the IE300s myself. The bass is indeed glorious but i found the sound signature too dark AND sibilant at the same time, total mess for me and i really wanted to love these! YMMV of course…

As I already wrote in my review:
In my opinion, these earphones are very suitable for electronic music, rap, hard rock, Dubstep… everything that needs energy, speed and hard impact.
They are not really “specialists” for melodic, delicate pieces of music.
I never have and will never claim!
But @Purplezorz asked for an in-ear recommendation for the music genres mentioned above.

I tried both, the Teas blow the IE300 away for me.

In which music genre?
For me it was mostly Rock, Metal and Acoustic Rock, but i tried some test tracks including pop and bass heavy stuff i dont even know the genre…
Well, this is what makes the hobby both fun and exasperating - differing opinions, references and ears.
It’s come a long way now.
I think because my headphone journey has been so long, I’m a little impatient with in ears - and it’s only recently where I’ve felt like listening to them.
The all time best in ears I heard were the Noble Khans and it wasn’t even close to anything I’ve ever heard before or after (including the Z1R) - pretty rare to have someone hear Noble stuff though and it’s silly expensive (though I’m repulsed, but not surprised that there are a plethora of IEMs costing 1K-4K more).
I’m following BGGAR because he was one of the rare few that made a video and an entire sub forum detailing what actual basshead stuff is. It’s moved way past that now - crazy EQ and power doesn’t work well when reviewing and comparing many, many different headphones and IEMs, but at the very least if I ask about sub bass, he won’t throw up unless it rolls off by -20db by the time you get to 30hz.
But also, he’s championing referencing specific parts in music when reviewing which used to be sorely lacking in the hobby.
People in here seem to adopt that same mantra and have a plethora of knowledge too so it’s all good

That was an epic moment in time for this hobby for those who were there.
Basic physics and the residue of low frequency and a simple but effective way of checking/testing
and KILLING myths of so called bass gods .
Was easyyy to replicate and do at home and hundreds maybe thousands did.
That was fun.

Boyz n Tha Hood is perfect snapshot of L.A. at that time.
I got shot in my knee in West Covina inside an hour of when I arrived in LAX.
Street my Flight attendant girl lived on looked exactly like the movie too.
Good times.
Those look good! And also love the black carbon fiber shell. Waiting forward for the impressions video!
