Balanced armature model IEM with good bass/dark sound signature?

BA and dark are kinda oxymoronic. If you really want a dark BA-ish signature your better off looking for fast dynamics. In my experience the FX700 has speed right up there with the BAs.

+1, BA's are know to be more on the bright side and a good dynamic would probably be better for you.  The Phiaton PS20 while not the most expensive dynamic its still very good and has the sound signature your looking for, good low and mid bass with the high end on the darker side but not so much that there not noticeable.  Over all it has really good bass with smooth highs that are never fatiguing. 
 
Here's some specs on the PS20,
 
High quality dynamic speakers
Frequency range: 15Hz~22,000Hz
Impedance: 31Ohm
THD: Less than1% at 1kHz
Sensitivity: 101dB at 1kHz
Maximum input power: 30mW
Weight: 13g
Cord Length: 1.2m

MEElectronic A151, lacks real sub-bass extension but has an overall warm/dark sound sig. Very non fatiguing too, and cheap.

ATH-CK90PRO and CK90PROMK2 are the darkest BA's I've heard. Both have very strong bass. The MK2 has a bit of improved clarity but is not
much different.

TF10s have amazing bass but are not dark at all with that spiky treble.

well they are simultaneously dark and crispy because of the slightly recessed midrange. but i guess the X10's are probably the darkest BA's out there. OR any of dunu's BAs
