i'm looking for an in-ear headphone with good bass, but also pretty good over-all speaking. I have a budget at around $140. i mainly focus on the bass but i'd also like decent treble and stuff.
 
Thanks in advance!

Hippo Vb comes with removable bass plates and Bass is a monster when adjusted to maximum.
also Radius DDM is another Dual driver with prolific lows..

Yea, I would second the DDM's, the GR07's are also a good choice to consider.

 

[Justinheng]

Are those better than the turbines? Bass, treble etc

 

[dbdynsty25]

GR07s are quite a bit better all around than the Turbines, yes.  I've never heard the DDMs but they are pretty highly regarded as well.

i see, thanks!
btw does anyone know how much and where to buy it?

DDM you get from Musica Acoustics in Japan
GR07 from Ebay I believe is best place

are in ear headphones of popular brands such as shure, monster not as good? What makes them more popular in the earphone market anyways?

I still haven't heard the gr07s (they're on their way), but from my understanding the bass is said to be neutral so I don't know if it's the best option (assuming he wants a somewhat bassy iem).

They have a nice amount of bass...coming straight out of my Zune HD...so they aren't bass-light at all.  I'd hate them if they were.  I can't stand Ety's if that is any comparison...those are bass light for sure to me.

I'm not saying they're bass light, but the thread being "bass?" I was assuming he'd want more than neutral bass.
