Would you recommend the campfires over the ier z1r for bass?
Sorry I’ve not heard the Z1R 
but I think a couple of guys on here can give you an A B with the Campfire sets?.. I was hoping to Demo the Z1R’s at this years UK CanJam but that’s been rolled over to next year because of you know what, I think it’s a Defo try before buy set due to it’s size though.

I can’t A B them, but I did use the Z1R quite a bit and I auditioned the Vega. I don’t think the Z1R has bass head level amount of bass. I remember the Vega having more bass quantity. The Z1R has a balanced sound imo and I am not talking neutral. It has like the perfect amount of highs and bass with a ever so slight dip in the mids but still sounds very good. I can’t comment on the Vega sound signature as much anymore, but I remember being totally fine owning both the Andromeda and Vega. Andromeda being more neutral sounding, but still engaging. Vega had a really engaging sound, but with definitely more in terms of bass quantity. I actually preferred the Vega over the Atlas. I think the best IEM for bass under 2k though might be the Empire Ears Legend X when they are on sale. They have 20% off for universal and 15% off for customs at certain times of the year. I can comment more later as I am getting the Legend X in a couple weeks…hopefully.
Edit: Haven’t tried, but Z1R with bass boost on a iFi Micro iDSD BL might be really fun to listen to

and the Vega (not really needed tbh) is mad, the sub bass on James Blake’s - Limit to your love actually sounds like a real subwoofer inside your head lol…
I’d would agree about the Z1R from what I’ve read, it’s good all round and not targeted at bassheads as such…I was going to add the EE LX but it seems to be out of stock at the mo…has it been replaced by the ODIN…or something else on the way?
Unsure, but it takes about 2-3 more weeks to make than usual from the time I ordered it like early July. They could be backed up quite a bit right now.
Edit: Looks like you can still order them but there is a wait time. I did the custom one.
is what I picked up looking for Bass leaning IEM’'s
you might want to look at the hyla sardas. It is what i currently use incredible bass, very tight and clean and digs really deep. they are pretty sensitive similar to the andros in that regard so you probably want a good source for it

Oh10 is a sub bass monster, but for all the bass all the time Ex800st with tape mod is just stupid. I found it bloated, but everyone has opinions etc. Also the Oh7 look to be good per Zeos so that maybbe a more high end option,
Agreed, the EX800st with the tape mod is bloated and quality is quite bad.
For a basshead iem I would take the Tingker TK200. Most quantity and also with good quality of all my iems.

For Bassheads the IMR Headphones can be a good choice. I have the IMR Rah and the Bass Quantity is just mindblowing 
I’d like to add that the Sony XBA-N3 is a pretty good option too! Still getting my thoughts together on them, but so far I’m really enjoying them.

Can vouch. Own the Polaris 2’s as well as the Z1Rs. Pol2s are much more focused on the bass and rumble. Z1Rs are more of an accurate representation and full bodied bass but it’s true to the music. Polaris 2’s Roar! Lol

I can also rec the Pol2 and the Sony N3s as well. Both have wonderful bass.
Agree 
% about that with the Z1R’s mate…wonder how the Pol2’s stack up against the Vega/Atlas which set dig’s deep, deep, deeper into the bass pit 
have empire ears bravado on the way
do you know how the polaris v1 compares to v2?

No sorry mate I’ve not heard either of the Polaris sets just the Vega and Andro🙁
Anyone?
Polaris V2 has the same depth of bass but it was more detailed in my opinion, the v1 was too murky

Hi Everyone,
Thinking of getting either the 64 Audio N8 going to try the universal N8/the U12T before deciding on customs but which one does everyone think is better in terms of bass? The A12Ts are the custom version of U12T. Also, I heard from crinacle’s YouTube video that the custom version has a overpowered DD inside vs the universal’s more modestly powered DD. Basically it comes down to DD vs BA bass and from what I have gotten in my hands and heard so far. I like the bass from the FH7s which I sold Andromeda gold edition with 4 bass drivers. I am going to get my hands on the 64 Audio Trios soon but that isn’t the end of it as I want something comfortable. VS Noble Audio Sage’s which has a expanded bass port and BA drivers bass was tight but not my liking. I like the rumble and sadly it did not deliver in that aspect. Also, briefly tried my friend’s Noble K10s he got and it was more of the same except more expensive so better clarity and detail retrieval. This is my first post please be nice and some recommendations would be great. I want to go to Sydney, Australia to test out stuff at a few stores but this current global pandemic is making things hard. Thanks so much.
Hey welcome aboard buddy 
It might also be worth taking a looking at the Nio as that’s pretty crazy when it comes to bass
