Ok, I am a kid, therefore am on a tight budget, however if there is something amazing for $80 that blows everything around that price range away, I can stretch, but ideally not.
 
60% of the music I listen to is dubstep
30% Random other (mainly internet stuff, with some rap+hip-hop)
10% Speaking, e.g. youtube chatting...
 
I am abit of a bass-junkie, so I like a fair amount of that, although I still value all other aspects of music highly, especially bright and clear highs.

Based on what you like, I'd say pick up a pair of Soundmagic E10's. They are only $35 and have a really nice bass punch with good sub bass texture and an overall clear sound. Don't let the price fool you.

$60, great warm dark sound, detailed awesome bass, smooth mids, highs slightly lack "sparkle" or extension but are in no way harsh.
 
Deal doesn't get better than that, in my opinion. Huge upgrade from the Klipsch S4s.

Try these.. More bass than what should be allowed and a blast to listen to what you like $20 online. JVC HAFX1X. Astounding for the cost. Once you hear Dub on these. There is no going back to anything else. No mic on these though.

At the moment I am leaning towards either the JVC HAFX1X also for $35, or the SHE9850 for $50 or the Soundmagic E10 for $50 too, which one shall I get?

The turbines are around the equivalent of $180 for me (I am in UK, so use £), however I found these Turbine's on ebay, are they fakes? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-Monster-Turbine-High-Performance-ear-Speakers-/150679842905?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item231537f059#ht_1284wt_1396
 
EDIT- I know the above are fake, it's obvious, they're too cheap, and somebody in feedback even stated they were fake, but what about these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Monster-Turbine-In-Ear-Headphones-Black-/330627515997?pt=UK_AudioVisualElectronics_HomeAudioHiFi_Headphones&hash=item4cfaef865d#ht_500wt_1413

You're right, DUNU Trident are pretty good in sound, build quality and packaging for their price, for something brighter and not too expensive, I would recommend ECCI PR300.
