The best IEM at that price is definitely the TF10's, but they may or may not suit your preference.
Any reason nobody has suggested the Atrio MG7s?
I listen to quite a lot of house, tech, minimal and basically most genres of EDM and I couldn't fault them. Bass response is extremely smooth and textured while the impact is there when called upon - and boy does it go deep...
Mids and highs aren't overshadowed by it either so vocals sound extremely natural.
Heard it is too bass-heavy... I'm in no way a basshead. Though it still is of importance to me...
Actually, the MG7 is another good suggestion. The MG7 is one of the few 'bassy' IEM's where the deep bass does not bleed into the mid-bass, making a bloated sound. What you actually get is very deep sub-bass, with sparkly treble and a high level of clarity. However why it didn't initially come to mind is that the treble on the MG7 can be slightly fatiguing. I can't imagine it being worse than the GR07 though, although I haven't compared both directly.
As I'm about to listen to them for hours straight on a daily basis... are they going to be too fatiguing?
By the way, did you read this thread?

Where did you hear that? They are by no means "bass-heavy", the only reason they're recommended for "bass heads' is because the bass is so accurate and the sub bass goes deeper than almost any other IEM out there.
I find them to be extremely easy to listen to for long periods, however I think this has a lot to do with the sleeves you pair with the IEMs as the sound signature changes quite dramatically depending on what you use.
Shure Black Olives were the harshest sounding and quite fatiguing, even after a short while (might be important to note that these were unfortunately the sleeves used to review the MG7 in the 214 IEM roundup!!) - the stock foams however provide the best sound by far and I can quite easily listen to any genre of music for hours on end (I've even gone to sleep with them in my ears on many occasions!).
If there's anything else you'd like to know about them I'll be happy to provide an opinion - I've owned them for about 3 months now and listenened to well over 200 hours of music ranging from accoustic to trance and tech-house.
