Noble FoKus Prestige Encore — is the bass a bit underwhelming, or is it just me?

I got the Noble FoKus Prestige Encore yesterday, and while the overall sound quality is definitely excellent, I’m honestly not feeling the bass the way I expected to.

It’s not that they sound bad at all — the detail, clarity, and overall tuning are very impressive. But I’m missing that richer, punchier, more immersive bass feeling. The bass is there, but it doesn’t have the weight or fullness I was hoping for.

For comparison, I also have the Bang & Olufsen EQ, and even today I still think those are some of the best earbuds ever made. I also have the B&O H100, which sound very good, but I’ve realized headphones are just not really for me. I much prefer earbuds.

When I compare the Noble to my Bang & Olufsen EQ, I feel like the Noble has excellent sound quality, but the punch, richness, and immersive bass are not quite on the same level for my taste.

Can anyone else who owns these chime in? Is this just my ears, fit, tips, EQ, or do others feel the same way about the bass?
