I'd like to trade or sell my Primo 8's. Looking for something with slightly more bass. I'd be interested in trying some of the EDC NuForce, or some of the other Massdrop IEM's. Here's the link: https://www.head-fi.org/threads/nuforce-primo-8-iem-for-sale-trade.873103/

montgomerycburnsI agree with you that they're a little bit light on the bass/low-end. I've burned mine in for around 40 hours or so and they do sound awesome, but I've been hoping that they increased in their low-end output and it doesn't seem to be changing very much? Do you guys think that I need to burn them in more to achieve more bass?! FWIW, I am strictly listening to my Schoeps mics>Sound Devices Mixpre6 recorder live Recordings, and I want to hear all of the low-end that the Schoeps mics offer, so I couldn't resist buying the Westone UM Pro 30 IEM's on sale at B+H for $250 (regularly $400 FWIW). Holy crap, the Westone's sound Ah-maze-ing, and have that extra low-end that I was after. Even Straight out of the box without any burning in time they sound SOOOOO sweet. So I can't wait to hear what they sound like after 40+ hours of burning them in!
That said, the Primo 8 sound so good that I highly doubt that I'll be selling them! They DO seem to have more bass and benefit from running them into my FiiO E11K (A3) HP Amp and it seems to fatten them up and make them more lush sounding, but I am sick of carrying around the FiiO HP Amp AND the Sony NW-A35 Walkman and having to worry about charging and maintaining Two separate Batteries too, so I wanted something that sounds awesome straight out of the Sony NW-A35! So For now they'll be my backup pair of IEM's, and I'll be throwing my Nuforce EDC IEM's in my Recording gear bag along with my FiiO E11K (A3) HP Amp, to monitor my live recordings! Since they have dynamic Drivers and an overall good sound across all of the frequencies (and better bass) and only cost $60, I don't have to worry about damaging the Primo 8 or Westone UM Pro 30 IEM's during the rigors of live Recording and transporting them, and the EDC's sound really good and have awesome isolation and comfort, so they should be perfect for my live monitoring needs!
Also, the Primo 8 and Westone UM Pro 30's have a rather High sensitivity of 118db (Primo 8's) and 124db (UM Pro 30's) respectfully, so I don't need the FiiO HP Amp to listen to them with my Sony NW-A35 Walkman and my 24bit FLAC live Recordings😎👍😇
Sorry to derail this drop and talk about the Westone's, but if anyone out there is like me and think that the Primo 8 need a TAD more low-end, then I HIGHLY recommend trying out the Westone UM Pro 30 IEM's on sale for $250 at B+H (until March 31)! After that they go back up to $400 to my knowledge, and they have amazing detail across the whole frequency spectrum, including the bass/low-end region! And they also come with a very nice assortment of accessories, including a Pelican style mini monitor vault, to keep your Westone IEM's very well protected, as well as a huge array of silicone and foam tips!
Here's the link for anyone interested, and sorry again for derailing this drop to talk about the Westone IEM's 🎧😇

FOBeanJust curious...have you tried the Westone Star tips on the Primo8? I use them on mine and like them a lot better than anu of the OE NuForce tips.

montgomerycburnsEDC3 isn’t for you if you’re dropping another pair searching for more bass. Low end they have none.
