i listen to rap, hardstyle, trance. i love bass, but trance has its detailed sounds. so pretty much im look in for a ******** of bass, but i also want to hear the precise sounds from trance. im not audiophile so i dont really know how to term that...hopefully i got it
this is what i was thinking:
V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds - cool lookin
V-MODA Vibe Earbuds - also cool lookin
Sennheiser CX300-W Earbuds (White)
Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3 Studio Earphones
XtremeMac IPD-FSE-10 FS1 Earphones
FS1-Black - High Def Earphones
from what ive heard the bass freq's have exceptional bass, but i dont know how that compares to the others since they are higher-end(?). i would appreciate comparisons in regards of bass and how well it preserves the minor sounds from trance.
thanks

If you don't mind the $5 cheap earbud look, the Yuin PK2 is an excellent earbud.

^ he mentioned that he loves bass.

If you're after bass, you're looking in the wrong place. Earbuds can't give you bass as good as canalphones or headphones.

Yeah stay away from earbuds. They do a lot of things well (Yuin)... but bass thump is not one of them IMHO.

My recommendation:

Crossroads mylar xb, VERY good sounding across the spectrum, with some nice bass bloat. Amp with an OPA2107 cmoy

, if you want even more bass.

I'm listening to one as I type this, it does a lot more than just bass IMHO.

I use the xb to help warm-up my bass-shy DAPs.
