Sony XB500 IEM Equivalent

So I recently purchased the Sony XB500 to replace my M50S. (yes a downgrade. M50 didn't pack enough bass for me.) And with the money saved, I am looking for a pair of decent iem's. They gotta pack enough punch in bass and have decent mids and nice highs. I listen to mainly edm such as house, electronic, dubstep and also others such as indie and hip hop. I own a pair of old Panasonic iem's and I find them great, but they're falling apart. My price range is under $100, the lower the price, the better. (preferably around $60.) Remember they need to have a large amount of bass and punch. Not the kind of bass the M50 has, but like the XB500. M50 had a lot of bass as a studio phone.

Thanks,

Sean

How about the $20 JVC HAFX1X? It has very strong bass, but also nice highs and a decent midrange. It is actually bright sounding even with all the extra bass. I bought this recently and like it very much. Search the forums for details about this. Many love this IEM. Don't let the low price fool you.

The Sony EX310 offers deep punchy dynamic bass and overall good clarity in mids, highs and fairly wide soundstage.
