Hi guys, I'm looking for a "good" $ 100 IEM with good bass that doesn't cover up the mids like my XB40 for my iPhone 4. Any ideas?   PS. I've tried the new BOSE in-ear, but it didn't impress me due to the fact that it didn't block out ANY sound at all which is really annoying because I...

That would be a good idea to add an amp for it But does it really boost the bass that much? What i heard is that the XB 700 is almost an unbeatable "bass" headphone for $100, even competing with an amped headphone (in the $100 range ofcourse ).
