Could you not EQ the bass up a bit on your RE400?

To be sure, are these the tips you're referring to? http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=18352026
Would you say that you prefer them over the stock tips, and if so why?
Thanks!
Not sure if this has been discussed a lot already but I've been experiencing the same problem as many others; one side going quieter. After leaving that one side out of my ear for 10-20 minutes, problem gone.
Yesterday I decided to dig inside and once the tips are off there some kind of metal caging that I took out that was full of wax blocking the tiny holes. Inside that caging is a black screen which was also completely filled with wax. I keep my ears pretty clean so I can imagine that it's way worse for some other people don't.
Once all the wax was out of the caging and screen, it felt like a brand new pair. I don't think I'm completely crazy. They sound a lot different, which is expected when stuff has been blocking the passage and building up for a year. Highs are way more prominent.
Usually, one side would go quiet almost every day so if the problem doesn't come back within a week or two, I'll consider it a win.
Try it and see for yourself. It takes 2 minutes to do each side and it's hart to do any damage.
So you removed the grille in front of the driver, correct? And then some sheet behind that?

No. I like both types. I use the stock ones mostly.
