I'm looking for a full, detailed sound. I listen to mostly blues & rock oriented music. Most of my music is in 256-320 bitrate. I will be running these from my iphone 4. I'd appreciate the help.
 
I currently have a set of Etymotic MC5, which are very detailed but I feel like they don't have enough bass. I tried different ear tips and got a good seal out of all of them but they still don't have much bass. Is it even possible to have a headphone that is detailed and have a good bass presence? Or am I going to have to sacrifice bass to get good mid to high end detail? Thanks i'm still trying to figure this whole headphone thing out.

Feel free to chime in into a similar thread started a short while ago by myself:

I've put there some of the better picks, except they're hard to get...
You want a balanced, warm or mid-driven phone for rock. Definitely not a bass monster or overly analytical.
