Looking for a durable IEM with good soundstage and strong bass

I've been using my set of HD 25s as my portable phone for a while now and as much as I enjoy the sound, I'd like something even more portable. I'm willing to spend up to £150 for these IEMs and at this price it's important that they are durable and capable of lasting a good few years. I'd like something with a stronger bass than the HD 25s and also a better soundstage as the Sennheisers can sound a bit closed in at times. I listen to hip hop, rnb, electronica and funk mainly. It's important that they have a better bass response than the HD 25s as I find they don't quite have the impact and low rumble I'm looking for. I would greatly appreciate your help. Thanks!

Perhaps spending less on a durable IEMs might be a better idea, i doubt cheap IEMs can match your HD25s but there are some quite good budget IEMs thats have a reputation for being tough, look at Dunu Trident for example, reviews say they are built like a tank.

Sennheiser IE8 would be what you be looking for if only not for the budget.

I've read about the IE8s and they do sound like something I'd like. Do you know of any cheaper IEMs that have a soundstage and bass response similar to the IE8s?

Anything? I'm scared to buy used which would be within my budget due to all the fakes about
