I just got my set of these from a drop a little over a month ago. I must say, they sound like crap. I know sound, ears, preference etc. are all subjective, but to me they subjectively suck. I've tried various tips (comply, non-name memory foam, dual/triple flange tips) and nothing seems to help. I knew that these would be light on the bass, but it's almost like they don't even register anything under 100hz. Additionally, any bass that does come through seems to get distorted whether playing directly from an iPod or via my e18.
For right now, I'll just stick with my senns or ATs. They deliver good bass response, yet still handle the highs (decent v curve), and only sound better when throwing some power at them. These PL50s are gonna just sit at the bottom of my closet.

ICPGr8Milenkogive them to somebody as a gift with a selection of tips...or just a pack of sony hybrids/clones you may not like them, but many of us do, and im sure you know somebody whos got SHIT iem's and could use an upgrade.
i mostly like these for in bed non-critical listening and audio books, (you forget they are in they just vanish) i have my hf5's and several other sets that are higher end...but not as comfortable, sure these arent bass head friendly, and arent a common sound sig, , would suggest looking at jokers headphone list before you order from now on..it covers the weaknesses and strengths of hundreds of iem's and it covers these not being great for people who love/need their bass.
there are much better options if you need bass..gr06 gr04, gr07 from vsonic would be options for example.....among others.... but vsonic come with a huge tip selection and tend to be great bang for the buck....hell i want to get a set of gr07's(prob bass edition) mostly because they are one of the only dynamic iem's that are considered high enough quality to use for mastering work, and that interests me...im into detail for music, and even my last few higher end dynamics lacked the detail of my hf5's, hell..one set, that runs over 200bucks, had less detail then the pl50's in its mids..they where more muddy, but the highs where nice and sybliant/harsh, and the lows where nice and brain rattling...ROFL.....wtf man....glad my buddy just lent them to me trying to get me to trade him something for them....LOL )
i was never disapointed with these because the first time i got them, and this time, i knew exactly what to expect, and, nope they arent perfect, but...at 30bucks.....good luck finding something subjectivly better...
only suggestion i could give for cheap with good detail and the ability to thump is the Brainwavz Jive dynamic tuned to sound like a ba, eq the bass up and you may be alot happier then with these...they arent as comfortable though...
