Maybe you could wait for the new a-Jays to come out? They are supposed to be $60 for the top end version and their website says it has a lot of bass. Maybe you could buy them and tell us how they are.

If you don't want to wait you can get s-Jays which are $100 and are supposed to have good bass response, but I haven't tried either. I'm kind of in the same situation and don't know what to do either, so I've been researching a lot about bass heavy phones.

I have to bow to the Klipsch gods... I can't believe how amazing and mind blowing this base is on these S4's... I put the earbuds in the opposite ears, got a good seal.. and

That is the deepest, richest and most amazing clear base I've ever heard... I have chills right now...


Thanks to everyone for giving me confidence in these... I stuck with it, allowed the burn-in to occur, and got a good seal... and I am in shock now...

Which model are you referring to of the klipsch?  Would you say they are better overall quality than the ex85lp?  I love my ex85lp, but want more airy-ness and quality.  However, I don't want 'more' bass.  better bass would be ok, but i'd say the 85's are the most i'd want, preferably a tad closer to references levels.

The Klipsch S4's are amazing; you have to get the proper seal to really hear what they can do.  I wear them hooped around my ear and down into the canal; kinda like how professional singer's in-ear monitors look.  I get the best seal that way.
 
THe S4's base is more subtle but more defined and crisp.  I recommend them all day for people who want a good performing, low cost IE with a lean towards bass.

For what you paid for on the S4 you could have got the Sony MH1 or MH1C for $25 and they sound as good as $100 and $150 IEM's I've heard.  You really should get a pair even though you got the S4.  The Sony MH1 has much more detail, bass thats just as good if not better and a much better soundstage.  The S4 was my first decent IEM so I understand you getting them and I also thought they were great but at the time I didn't know about Head Fi either or I would have got something better.
