Hi there folks. A friend, who had used ep630, at cks-90 and sennheiser IE8, is looking for a better bass and clarity.
 
What would you suggest (as an IEM)?

Hisound Popo is worth a look! Check out the reviews here. Seems like a bass machine with good SQ and soundstage.

Lot of good reviews about the Velodyne Vpulse.

Hippo VB! It has Variable Bass tuning.

IE8/IE80 is probably the best bass machine unless you go into customs (UM Merlin).

If he likes sub-bass more, there is nothing better than Hippo VB, it will literally rumble your brain

Atrio MG7 is better overall and in the sub-bass department.

LOL@price range between MG7 and VB

Well, considering TS mentioned that the friend has owned (that's how I interpret "used") the IE8 so I don't think the price of the Atrio MG7 might be that big of an issue.. Not enough to make the suggestion a laughing matter at least.

Hippo VB is very inferior to the Atrio ever since the MG7 model came out, also the VB has a crappy build quality.
 
Nuf' said.
 
 
Although I reckon your friend will probably still like the IE8/IE80 more than any of the mentioned iems here.

The VB has an improved and newer version that has better build quality. The cable is now much better and I wouldn't be too worried with its overall build. I have both and yes the MG7 goes deeper and I would take the MG7 over the VB if price isn't an issue.

If you decide to go with the Atrios, on the Atrio.me site, you can use the coupon code costprog50% to get the MG7s at half price.  I just ordered them yesterday

Wow that coupon is still working?! 

 I can't even remember the member who received that coupon code from Atrio and posted it, but I think he/she really deserves a big thank you for sharing. 
 
At that price, the MG7 is a steal.

The Westone 3, JVC FX700 are better sounding(higher resolutions) with deep punchy bass and offers fairly wide soundstage.
