Hi so i've had etymotic HF2 for over an year. Im really happy with their clarity and the crisp sound that they produce, but can't  get enough bass, i found the perfect which makes the signature slightly warmer, makes me feel like there is bass, while the clarity remains, but can't get the thump (quantity?).

I've tried the monster beats and they sound absoulte trash other than their bass. Their bass is what im going for but with clarity and high end frequenceies sounding crisp. 
 
1) How are Monster Turbine to my requirements? Can get them for $50
2) Hippo VB or Qjays?
 
Any other recommendations are welcomed but within a $200 budget. Thank you.

Westone 3, no question!

They are WAY out of my budget Do u think they can be had for $200 or less refurbished or used?

Also just figured their design is behind the ear, so no behind the ear design like shures.

The Atrio M5-MG7 might fit the bill but it might be too much bass for you lol.

 

[yahya94]

too much bass is never an issue as  long as its not distorted and taking over mid and high range. Eq can take care if theres too much bass. Are they better than turbine?

They are definitely better then the regular Turbines, just read reviews about them on here.

I've noticed a couple of westone 3's up on the for sale forum here for 250.00, But I have read really good things about the atrios also

The treble wasn't harsh for me, I'm guessing that's what shiny means but I could be wrong. There's a few on the FS section for less then $150 if you want to pull the trigger.

I need the iem to be bright as in have crisp treble, but from what i've read from the reviews, atrio is a dark, meaning very bassy but not crisp, is it true?

Unfortunately that is true, they're not crisp and bright like the B2 but it's not too dark.

B2, seems like a new one. How does the bass compare since u said they are bright?

They're BAs so bass isn't that big.
