Hi Ross,
Great that the IE 500 Pro work for your purpose. That’s why it is useful to read many “qualified” reviews (“honest” is implied). I took them on a flight from Canada to Egypt, and they were good with the low frequencies.

I should have probably made a point of the professional applications of these earphones – I focused on the “audiophile” sid (I am no audiophile, I am a music lover).

I just got my IE 500 Pro’s. I’m an electric 5 string bass player. As shops won’t allow one to try them out in store (for hygiene reasons), I read a lot of reviews. This model did appear that it would work for me, and it does! I wanted lower register speed, low distortion, resolution and deep bass ( lowest string goes down to 35Hz). I like the slightly scooped mids and slight recession of the treble so I could hear my bass clearly standing next to a screened, but loud drummer. Although, I haven’t tried any other IEM’s, I am very happy with these. The fit is very good, they are comfortable and the sound, non fatiguing. I bought them on a good sale, not sure I would have paid full price $1100 AUD. They may not suit other instruments as well, don’t know. But for bass (I don’t sing), they work extremely well. I find the passive ambient noise blocking, useful. Only 26 dB, but I don’t have to take them out to talk to others on stage that much, and I can hear the snare well enough not to have it in my mix (only kick and hats). Guitar, keys and vocals are quite present but not overpowering, they are not competing with each other or my bass in the smaller soundstage the IE 500 Pro’s produce (according to reviews). I love the transparent, fat but tight, bass sound I get with them. That’s my bass sound with my Spector Euro lx5. They work for me on stage which is what they were designed for. Highly recommended for bass players.
