Except with better detail, mids, treble, and less boomy bass and more deep bass with a bigger soundstage. The most I'm able to spend is 250 dollars and that's with shipping added in, so does any one have suggestions ?

RE0; best clarity, mids and definitely treble. The bass is tight and defined, especially with a decent amp. For it's current price ($79), you should also be able to get a decent amp without going over budget.

I've had RE0 before but it got eaten buy a rat some how but when I had it the soundstage was to small for me. I got the RE252's as a gift but they don't really give me a proper seal or fit my ears that well so I'm really at a loss on what to do next.

Yes you did !, I left them in the drawer over night and the next day it had bite marks on it and the sound was gone. Joker what are the turbines ?

Though if you the sound of those, you might also consider looking into the Audio Technica ATH-CKS70. They are both considered bassy 'phones, though a member here who has both prefers the CKS70.

no, it doesnt. its not all that far away but its just not as detailed and its not as crisp in its presentation either.

Does the sound on the IE7 sound veiled or clear ? Is there a IEM that sounds similar to the IE7 except with no rolled off treble and as much detail as the RE0 that you can reccomend me Mark2410 ? Sorry for all these questions I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to IEM's .

hmm its both veiled and clear. its far clearer than most things but its veiled in comparison to the super revealing RE-0. it dous have that famous sennheiser warmth that makes it feel veiled an soft but really there is not many things that can beat it in how detailed it is.

well i dont know anything that is like it but with more treble. that would somewhat defeat the point of it being a warm balanced phone. dont get me wrong its treble is good and will beat most things but it is behind the great bass and mids on them

as much detail as the RE-0, there are a few but for a sound similarish to the Jazz the closest would be the SE530 and it has the same roll off. the Jazz is warm bassy and middy if you want no treble roll of then its not going be like the Jazz. any way the things i know that are at RE-0 levels of detail are se530, triple fi 10, um3x, IE8, ER4 and the RE-252. the RE-0 are right at the very top in terms of detail so dont get the impression the IE7 isnt detailed too. RE-0 is like a veyron at detail, the IE7 would be like ferrari. so much better than almost everything but just not quite as good as it gets.
