I brought GR07 few days back and i really liked the detail, presentation and sound reproduction of these phones however what i felt (IMHO) is that it lacks bass (quality bass but not enough to enjoy), build finish (durabled however finish is below par for that price) and too much detail to actually enjoy the music while doing work. I just want to buy a set that lets me enjoy music and better bass and bigger sound stage at almost same price or lower :)  lesser treble will do. 
 
what i really liked about GR07
Comfort
Overall sound quality
Details reproduced
 
but what i want in addition to these 
More bass
bigger soundstage
more enjoyable earphones not too technical :)
 
Price range: Not more than GR07
 
Just keep in mind i am not an audiophile just a casual listener :)
 
Any suggestions please

How many listening hours do you have on them? You really need to give yourself 20 hours minimum to adjust and see if you still feel the same way.

That being said, you can look onto the Future Sonics m5 with mg7 driver. They can be found for around $150 and have lots of high quality sub bass (not mid bass). They are really the bass kings. However it has a smaller soundstage than the gr07. Its treble is also more subdued than the gr07.

Before you spend more money though, I recommend giving the gr07 a little more time. Might save you some dough.

yeah i did try it for a couple of days and infact it grew on me or my ears got accoustmed but i always felt that bass is lacking... Does "Future Sonics m5 with mg7 driver" comes as manufactured or its custom made as i am unable to find it online.

It's a universal. I left out part of it's name "atrio". Here is a link to just one of many places that sell it: http://www.jr.com/future-sonics/pe/FS_ATRIOMG7PRO/

If you call JR, you can get them to lower the price usually.

What does the graph have to do with soundstage? I owned the SE215 and it has no depth at all.

I was referring to the other sentence - the part that you said was flat. I misunderstood you, thought you're saying it's dead neutral.

I'm pretty sure a lot of head-fiers are having technical issues with it.

Yeah, but a lot of us aren't too. I bought mine from a place call Daddy's Music, a local chain here in Massachusetts, and I have had zero problems thus far. My only complaint is that they aren't quite the right shape for my ears, and that the Olives take about 10 minutes to get off the tiny nozzle and sometimes I feel like I might break it o.o hence why I use Flex.

What about shure se215 ? are they any good for me?

Actually yeah, I'd say so. They won't live up to the overall SQ of the GR07 but they are awesome IEMs and they will almost certainly meet your bass needs with a proper seal. Personally I use a pair of the Shure Flex with Comply T's fitted inside so it's kind of a hybrid foam-flex tip.
 
Bass improves substantially with burn-in, so don't judge them right off the bat.

You must be using the wrong tips. SE215 has pretty good soundstage. Also really good instrument separation.
