OK so I've about had it with cheap in-ear headphones. I've been through about 5 in the past few months; one of them has completely broken and the rest were crap and I gave them to my siblings. So...I said screw it and I'm going to spend $100-200 on a good quality pair of in-ear headphones that meet my requirements below however, I am quite noob so I need help
 
Requirements:
 

1. I like deep, heart pounding bass (not the boomy crap) and the more the better
2. My ears are hypersensitive to high frequency noises (and music alike), so I would prefer not so bright highs but still there to be able to fully enjoy the music
3. I would prefer a downsloping frequency curve with the slope not being too steep
4. I'd prefer not to buy a headphone amp (portability issues...I use my MDR-V6 for desktop music listening and my HT system for other usage)
5. Must be durable
6. Price around $100-200 USD
7. I would prefer to buy from Amazon.com, but if I can find a used deal then I'd be fine with that
8. So far I'm looking at Monster Turbine Pro Gold but I would like other suggestions 
   

 
My equipment:
 

1. iPod Touch 4G 64GB
2. 50% of music encoded in iTunes Plus (256bkps vbr aac)
3. 50% of music encoded in ALAC (lossless)

your best bet for deep, heart pounding bass IEMs are DDM or even DDM2 which are more expensive but this week  are on Special Sale at MusicaAcoustics
for 198 plus shipping.

Those look like good IEMs. Thanks for the tip. Just wondering though since they are shipping from Japan, how long does it take to get here to the US?
