Default UE Super.fi 4 or 4vi vs. Sennheiser cx500 or cx400

I am looking to purchase some earphones locally and have come across these 4 models that are basically the same price, within $10 of each other. Choices are:

UE Super.fi 4
UE Super.fi 4vi
Sennheiser cx400
Sennheiser cx500

I want good quality bass that you can feel. Now I understand that these are not the highest priced ones, where I may not even achieve that. But I do not want my bass to overpower the voice of the song, since I also like hearing the lyrics.

I know some of you will suggest atrios but they are double the price of what I am willing to pay. The Denons are hard to find and I would rather stay away from online.

I have done some browsing and it seems as though, the super.fi 4's have more detailed mids/highs, while the Senns have more bloated bass. However, I have also been told that burn-in, eventually makes the sennheiser bass tight.

Do the Super.fi 4 or cx500 sound similar to etymotics?

I listen to a lot of funk, R&B and soul.
