  The Qian39 is smaller than the MX500 shell and I find it more comfortable. It has decent bass and is only about $6 so worth a try.

Ok, thx

TY Hi-Z 32 - Bright & strident sound. The repeated "flanging symphony effect"(?) is a bit too much, but that may be what you are looking for.
Monk Plus - Quite balanced sound. Tighter percussions. The "flanging symphony effect" was slightly less dominant.

 
yup already have those 2
ty 32 - too bassy in a bad way? muddy? i don't like
monk/+ - i like. i'd love something like monk/+ w/ more bass and oomph
 

Try them with syntwave like Perturbator and Dance with the Dead or Kavinsky. Sounds superb.

 
i'm giving you a night call
to tell you how i feel
i want to drive you thru the night

You might want to try ozkan's blu-tac mod on Monk Plus. Block out the 2 rear left & right oval ports using blu-tac. IIRC, stronger bass & treble with some extensions, and slightly recessed mids.

no blu-tac here :/

Have TY Hi-Z 32 and Monk each seen more than a few days of accumulated use? If not, their sound could be muffled for being new, especially TY32.

TY 32 ?

Have not tried the mod on TY32. IMO, more than enough bass already on that.

I feel TY32 has more controlled sound than Monk+

I guess ( I could be wrong), you may not have read his first post asking for help on playing a particular song:
http://www.head-fi.org/t/441400/earbuds-round-up/13320#post_12978480
 
Which led to him preferring MP's sound over TY32's sound, but would prefer more bass oomph with the MP.
 
Also, as the conversation is turning towards bass, someone else like @vapman or a EDM basshead should have better earbud recommendations than myself.

I am not an EDM guy, i am a MID lover that's why i always love to hear my zen 2.

Midrange, with a pinch of bass & a tablespoon of treble, that's about all I need.
People like us should not be recommending bass earbuds.

That's true, you will enjoy BASS for sometime, but you won't enjoy bassy earbuds for longer listening sessions IMHO.

I would like to agree with you, except I know people who walks around with closed headphones with sound volume (especially bass) easily 10db higher than I can tolerate for even 30 seconds. I am always amazed that the simple act of hearing can be so different for all of us.
