Bass and Detailed IEMs at $130?

[Relinquished]

Hey people.I have a budget of $200 SGD (roughly $130 USD).I was on my way to getting a SF3/UM1 because i decided to take a break from too much bass when i stumbled upon the band Pendulum.I love their tracks and they need so much punchy bass to sound good.They re-ignited my love for bass and so I guess I will need a bassy IEM whilst still maintaining the detail I've always wanted with the UM1/SF3 .

I wonder if it is possible to combine detail together with bass(just normal amounts,dont really need alot) within my budget?

As i have spiked hair and the weather is extremely hot here in Singapore,I guess IEMs are the way to go..But if i really have to get a closed headphones to fufill my criteria then I would wished it looked good like the ES7(not sure about their comfort).

I would also like strudy wires because whilst commuting my wires get tugged alot :/

I listen to heavy metal,hard rock,electronic(abit) and basically it's quite random but more of those mentioned.

I would not mind if the IEM/headphones need to be amped to achieve the desired effect.
The amps i am considering are the Govibes Martini(SGD100) and the FiiO E5 . Anything around that price range would be ok..

Oh yes,I hope the recommendations are avaliable in Singapore because i've always had a problem ordering online.
Previously i was using a Alessandro MS-1 .

You can't. A pity though.

Relinquished, I would recommend the Turbines as well if you willing to try your luck online.

Does anybody know of any links to a SF3 and UM1 comparism ?
Sadly,the prices of the Turbines i find online exceeds my budget

You could try the Quattros and Woodies from Jaben. They're SGD$130 if I'm not wrong. They can put out fairly punchy bass. Or you could also audition the SF3 and UM1 there if I'm not mistaken. There's no better judge of earphones than your own ears.

I think there's also a place called Stereo Electronics that allows you to audition if you're closer to Yishun.

I auditioned all those before.But i forgot how they sound like already.

How about the 2nd hand Phonaks and Atrios?

How about the Sony MDR-EX500? Great bass, detailed, and very nice soundstage. Comparable to the Monster Turbines
