Best Bass Heavy IEMs in 2025

Audiophiles talk incessantly about sound stages, resolution, and detail retrieval – all well and good. Still, today we're diving into the hedonistic basics by getting into the best bass-heavy IEMs for a good old brain-shaking listen. We'll cover a range of price points to ensure there's something for everyone. Let's see what we got.

Under $500

Sivga Nightingale - $229

Starting our list with something in the $200 range, Chinese company Sivga offers a pretty nice bass-forward option for people shopping on a budget. The Sivga Nightingale is a planar magnetic IEM that is tuned on the warm side and has a pleasant 

Beyerdynamic DT IE Series - $499.95

Moving up, Beyerdynamic catches our attention next. They are most known for their over-ear studio headphones, but their recent in-ear series is great for musicians and audiophiles alike. They have the DT 70 IE, which is geared towards critical listening, and it delivers a fairly neutral sound that is dynamic and detailed across the frequency range. For people who want a lot of bass, I would recommend they check out DT 71 IE, which is tuned specifically for bass and drums. You get an extra boost in that sub bass range and a little extra sparkle on the top end to balance it out, allowing you to focus on the bass in your listening. Other IEMs in the DT IE series, like the DT 73 IE and the DT 72 IE, are good for bass as well, but you'll find more midrange presence and high-end clarity rather than the impactful bass you might be looking for. 

Under $1000

Noble Audio Van Gogh - $699 

One new earphone that is certainly worth noting is the Noble Audio Van Gogh. Noble Audio has a lot of great IEMs for the audiophiles that don't fear a price tag, but the Van Gogh is only $699 and impresses on a first listen. The 4-driver arrangement brings you a U-shaped signature, where the bass is tight, punchy, and full to give you a driving force in every track. The timbral detail you get as well
