I bet you would be happy with vibes, they might not be the best thing out there for the price, but they definitely have a bass heavy sound which it sounds like you might appreciate (nothing wrong with liking bass). I was really happy with my vibes when I first upgraded to them from the 20$ sony's I had before. They eventually broke though and I have since moved on to triple.fis... careful its a slippery slope.

I've found this to be very true for myself. In a portable situation I can't tell the difference between 192kbps and anything higher, but at home I prefer to listen to better than 192kbps.
