I'm an audio noob.  Right now I have the Zune Premiums that came with my zune 80.  I like them but I think it's time for an upgrade.  I definitely want more bass, but I'm not sure how much more.  For instance i'm not sure if the hippo vb's would be too much.  I'm willing to spend up to $100 or so.  So far I've been looking at the VB's, the RE-0/Zero, and the Panasonic hje900.  I've heard good things about all of them.  I have no idea what "sound signature" I like.  Where do I start??  Any suggestions?

also, it would be nice if the zune tips fit the new headphones.  I like them a lot

RE0/ZERO will not have more bass than the Zune Premiums. Better quality - yes; quantity - no. If you're not sure how much more bass you'd like, I'd go with a safe choice such as the Thinksound TS02 or Brainwavz M2. The VB and HJE900 have the potential to satisfy more but they aren't for everyone, much like the RE0/ZERO.

M2s have more bass and are warmer than the ZEROs. ZEROs have better detail and mids more forward and better highs. Their both nice IEMs, but both quite different to each other
