Bro, look towards the Fiio K5 PRO or
the maximum power output
1.5 W at 32 ohms load
or Topping DX3 Pro
1.8W at 32 ohms load

The only reason I disagree is because I have experienced it first hand. But hey, do you, brother

That’s part of the joy of the hobby, the wide variety of opinions! I agree that a larger driver CAN mean better bass, but some of the best IEM bass I’ve heard came from 7mm (ie600/900) or 9mm (tia trio) drivers. Obviously if you agree with those opinions is a different story.

Ironically, the IE600 is the exact IEM that came to mind. The bass is very fast and textured, but the graph can be deceiving. It didn’t feel as impactful in the subbass as the graph would indicate. I will say though, it was an interesting experience all things considered. The trio is another great example, I have to say. Out of all of the 64 Audio sets I’ve heard, that’s probably my favorite.

A larger driver CAN pump more air, and almost always will do it with less distortion because physics as you said, but vibration aside, SPL is quite literally a measure of air being pumped. It’s sound PRESSURE level, and to create a change in pressure you need to pump air.
Some of the “best” bass IEMs HBB has recently reviewed, like the CP622B, use BAs with very small surface area.
Bigger =/= better. Well engineered parts and proper implementation matter most. But that’s the hill I will die on, and I understand completely the reasons why you’d disagree.

The BCs have something to say about that…I’m gonna Nostradamus this and say that BCs will be the norm in the industry

Exactly…surface area…my 12s can match my 15s in pressure but can’t match my 15s in volume…car subs…it’s even more pronounced in the small volume of the ear canal

I was typing up a Car audio reply about my 3 15 inch Digital Designs destroying my car one bass bomb at a time while
my wife’s 2 10" JL’s are cute and make boom boom sounds
Then had sex …
And was like whatever
Let folks enjoy pew pew sounds

Can you explain to me as technical person to a technical person?
This is the concept the hardest for me to grasp from technical perspective ATM in audio - assuming the SPL is being equal between large and small driver - where would that perceived difference of the “massiveness” of the sound come from for small and large driver? Or maybe it is the problem with test rig on IEC 711 having too small probed area?
I mean it is clear that the larger driver should have easier job to generate the same SPL than small can, but if we assume that both can achieve that what is the difference?
I got a pair last week, I really like them. My daily drivers since the day I got them. They aren’t bass monsters but still got good low-end and it’s well controlled. Hope you review them

The Shozy?
Oh man…nice surprise.
Was not expecting much from Shozy.
No offense to Shozy fans if there are any?

@hawaiibadboy I won the Bhramastra Bass monster in your give away, I’ve sent an email. I couldn’t be more thankful, I’ve been subbed since your review of the magaosi k5 and tansio mirai tsmr3. Such an honour the be the first giveaway winner on the new channel and it’s a set made by a fellow Indian which is pretty cool. Wonder which set of the Bhramastra I’ll get. So curious to see what @BASS_0Range has done with the set. The graphs I’ve seen have blown me away

That was quite past the 7 days bro. I gotta keep the rules for everyone.
That was weeks ago iirc?
I’m not sure? I’d hope so but I never ask Linsoul. If they want my opinion they now my address

Doubt.
Where did I say anything about sound pressure?
The point is what will be more pleasant to listen to!
Let’s take a 5 inch speaker of the one manufacturer with the same materials and manufacturing technology, and the same 10 inch speaker, setting the same volume (not loud) and accordingly equally position them for listening. It will be necessary to quickly switch the sound because the brain remembers the sound has a very short memory for the sound up to about 15 seconds.
And we will hear the difference in sound, namely that the driver of a large size sounds more voluminous.
The same is true for in-ear earphones.
The driver manufacturing technology a big role!
Of course, I can assume the situation you have, why you think so. You just came across a good 7mm driver which is better in technology and quality than the other 14mm drivers and because of that you think so. Again, if they were of the same technology and were in the same earphones enclosure, you’d know what I mean.
