My friend's apple earphone broke, and he wants a upgrade from the iBuds. He mainly listen to Pop, Rock, but other genres too. He wants something with nice punchy bass, but not sacrificing too much highs. Any suggestions? the more suggestions the better because some brands are not available in my country.

x2. For rock, pop, and a great all-rounder, the KC3 really can't be beat.

In what country are you located? Some of the suggestions listed may not be appropriate due to price or availability based on where you live. Also, does your friend have a budget?
Isnt the microphonics on the KC3 horrible? Out of everything mentioned, id say IE7

Crossroad woody 2 from jaben, those has pretty good amount of bass. Hippo VB is pretty good too, though the woody 2 has a more lush sound due to the wood. They are priced at 99 and 79 respectively i think.
2 IE7
