i bought a pair of them here when i first joined because i enjoy bass.  i listen to mostly hip hop and other bass heavy music like trap/edm.  they are bass heavy and don't distort.  i felt like they lacked in other areas though.  the soundstage was small and they seemed very veiled to me.  they lacked energy, airiness and separation.   i preferred the sound of my cheap xiaomi piston 2's i had at the time.  i was disappointed in the wooduo2 and i only paid $50 for them if i recall correctly.  i sold them to another headfier and he didn't like them either and sold them very shortly after receiving them from me.  i know this is all subjective.  so if bass is ALL you're after, they may be the perfect choice for you. 

 
Totally agree. I feel the same about Wooduo 2s.

I do... actually selling it lol-  but I don't recommend it here- they're nice with decent bass response that scales to some degree with amp/eq (i would describe it as a "dry boom" kind of sound), but don't go much deeper than something like the Tenores (cks are less midsy/warm imo), and have a bit of a treble spike. Also have very little isolation, build seems pretty solid.

I haven't heard the IM70, from what johnwamp says might be a good pair for you- they're similar shell to the im02 I had, which is pretty durable- removable cable connector seems sturdier than the standard 2-pin or MMCX- plus you can buy a seperate mic/remote cable for them. Only thing I woudl caution is some people have comfort issues with the IM series (I had problems with the 02)... really depends on your ear shape and how you like the over-ear cable.

Agree on the CKS1000. They're good and bass forward, but not nearly as basshead worthy as some others that get thrown around here.

Maybe JVC FR202 (I have FX201 w/o a mic) or NHT SuperBuds (Joker recommends these).

 Only heard them briefly and they distorted but were a demo pair so.... but I love the **** outta the Yamaha Pro 500 so they know how to bring the bass. If the Pro 900 is the sound you like the A3 is a good rec. Comes with a large woofer driver and 2 BA drivers. The Aurisonics 2.0 have a late bass bump and are UIEM ...doubt they could be had for 300 but I dunno since I'm in Japan

im selling pro 900 because i want buy in ear headphones , they got something in bass that "full sized" headphones dont have (maybe because the driver is very close to the ear + huge isolation ? )
currently i have fischer audio eterna but im searching something better (higer class) u know what i mean my eng is rly bad
 
it will be nice if the headphones have good availability (not import only)

Perhaps check the used section. I bought two pairs of asg g2, one at $500, another at $200 or $250. Second pair was sold to me at a discount as a huge favor since I smashed one of my original g2 in my car door... Was a very sad night for me.

You can find some nice discounts on used items, and for me well worth it.

The Yamaha EPH-100 are solid. They sound good and have good bass. They're on the bass level of something like the RHA MA750--both are tier 2 in bass but tier 1 in value.

A slight step up in bass would be the JVC HA-FXZ200, then another step up in bass gets you to the Sony MDR-XB90EX, H3, and A3.

The Aurisonics Kicker are rumoured to be below that price and basshead, but I haven't heard them yet and they aren't really available. Someone might also be able to talk about the new Future Sonics Spectrum G10.
