ok guys here's the issue,my dad is in dubai,and he's buying me a headphone, so i wanted your help in choosing one.
the headphones available there that i can afford are:
1.shure se310
2.shure se210
3.sennheiser cx300
4.maybe cx500,will check.
5.sony or creative.

i am a bass lover,so which of these provide the best bass experience? and ofcourse with the same price range.
please no other suggestions except from the above manufacturers. thanks!

I would go with the 310s, from that list. However, if you're a bass-lover, and there is any way you could get your hands on a pair of SE530s... do it. I've never heard bass as accurate or impactful as that on the 530s.

If you're new to the audiophile world, I'd suggest that you try some low-budget options first, to see if you really, really are a basshead. A lot of the users here started out thinking that bass was king, including me. But now I listen to my ER-4S's everyday. And the ER-4S's are NOT bass-heavy at all.

You might come to enjoy a more balanced sound. Or not.

So maybe start out with a pair of Koss KSC-75's.

but the koss is a little too low-end,and i prefer in-ear honestly,so what from the above (except shure se310) do you think i should get?

Check out UE's SF3 if you are going for a balanced sound. Great starter earphone! But comfort might be an issue for some...

From what you have listed I would suggest the Sennheisers. There are better phones, but you soecifically asked for no ther recommendations. CX300 for the bass.
