The bass produced by the Sparks are just as good as the ATH-CKM series and you can get them well under $60.

I've been wondering if it's even worth the $$$ to have someone look at my HJE-900s and get the one shell working again. I really loved those earphones and used them exclusively for over a year.

Then get another one , they aren't expensive right now.

I think they're over two bills now and for that price I'd rather shell out a bit more and get a pair of Westones.

But isn't it more worth it if you prefer the Panasonics over Westone's sound signature? Unless you have personally tried Westone IEMs out and like them more.

Actually, the Panys are good but not that good. There are better options available that I like more in that price range. For the $70 I paid for them on J&R blowout, they were just dandy.

I don't like the Panny's timbre much. Its bumped upper bass IMO makes the timbre slightly fake and intrudes the mids a little.
 
Granted, its timbre is better than many armatures at $100, but FXT90 has a better timbre overall to me, with a smoother highs and bumped midbass rather than upper bass.

I see, then there is no point fixing it then.

I'm with some of the others one here in that the Yamaha EPH-100 would be perfect for what your looking for.  It has deep and very clean bass with outstanding clarity as well as a good sound stage.  Amazon has them for $129 but you can get them from Audio Affair for $115 and at that price there an absolute steal imo.

I am constantly amazed at how much bass the EPH-100 put out after burn in. They put out as much as my Pro-Coppers. I have only use them with my iPhone 4 and the EQU app so I decided to try them on my old Sony DAP player and they have so much bass that I could not use the Mega bass because it made the bass distracting.

Im also looking for a bassy pair of IEMS. From what i have read - the EPH-100 cannot compete with Atrio MG7 and Sennheiser IE80, so i actually wrote them off my list. You guys claiming they are very bassy, what kind of music do you listen to, and what IEMS have you owned before?

However, if you're looking for bass impact on the MG7, they won't be able to provide a hard-hitting one.

I have the EPH-100 and they do have really good bass but I wouldn't go as far in saying their bass monsters as more just bass heavy to some degree.  I listen to a lot of EDM so I need bass and the Yamaha's suit me great as its very clean with a really nice texture over all.  Now with a little bump in the EQ you can get them to thump pretty hard and it doesn't distort the other frequencies plus it just a solid all around performer in all areas.

The Pro Golds certainly have bass of more quality, depth and rumble than the FXT90. 104 pounds is a very good deal, provided they are confirmed to be real. 

The seller that I found has 100% positive feedback, so I assume they aren't fake.

I would love to get EPH-100 soundstage and quality with MG7 bass/sub-bass. What IEM would be closest to this? Thx in advance.

I would go for Westone 3s if I were you. However, it seems that as discussed in this thread you should go for a dynamic if you care about bass more.
