Ok so I've been kind of researching and trying some headphones that were considered bassy. I've tried the Ultimate Ears UE 700 and the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro 80. Again, after researching, people said they were both bassy. I honestly couldn't find the bass at all. I think it is because I'm coming from Beats By Dre and I'm used to the bass quantity. I love how much bass they have but, as everyone knows, it [the bass] isn't very good. Does anyone know any headphones under $250 that have good bass QUANTITY and still sound good? Again I am coming from Beats which have a ton of bass.

If you can afford to move up another $50, the M-100's are amazing in the bass department whilst retaining qualitiy textured detail

No one ever talks about these... most recommend budget beaters that have so-so sound, yeah these are $60 but if you want Bass and everything else in place and a massive soundstage...look no farther.. Too much bass for me tho...

The W3's are the bassiest BA IEMS I have heard. If you manage to get a 25% off coupon for EarphoneSolutions, you can pick them up for like $280 or something (The W3 Gold, same as the W3 really)
