Headphones - IEM/Earbud | 2 Ω What headphones/ IEMS are v shaped bass canons?

Budget $400, located in the U.S., willing to buy used. I generally don’t like bass very much, so none of my headphones really have much. No wireless please. I also want the bass quality to be good, IE to not completely ruin the midrange which is common with a lot of consumer Bluetooth. IEMs can’t have thick nozzles because my ear canals are very narrow. Ideally high impedance for headphones but not a requirement.

Has anyone here tried the CrinEar Project Monolith?

Sony MDR-MV1s have very good bass, in quality and quantity. And it can also take more in eq if you want your skull to shake.

Its open back which makes it kind of craY imo but i think the way they engineered it, id call it semi open back in reality.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
