Hi guys, title pretty much? I was looking around and I stumbled upon a Ortofon EQ-5 for 249$. Although, I didn't feel like I had to pull the trigger so suddenly after 3-4 hrs of research and sniffing around
 
I listen to lots of dubstep, extreme metal, jazz, trance, 2-step...many other genres as well, but not as much as the genres I mentioned. (I guess I can say I like some bass)
 
 
Maybe I'm looking for an all-rounder, or just a fun, wow-factorish IEM for the price.
 
 
There are some songs here that can help provide clear and accurate thoughts on your opinions....
 
Flying Lotus- Do the Astral Plane
Flying Lotus- Message Situation
Tokimonsta- Sweet Day
Nero- Promises
Nero- Act Like You Know (Dubstep Mix)
Cave In- Juggernaut
Botch- To our Friends In The Great White North
 
I am just your average iPod listener looking for some good everyday portable fun phones.
 
Anything that can play that^ with some wow-factor at a $250 budget, gimme your recommendations! Thanks!

Need some opinions here :/

I've been using MTPG's for that exact type of music you listen to, up until I got a pair of FX700's recently.
 
the golds are great, although a bit under your budget, the bass extends low and is definitely a basshead oriented IEM, with a warm fun sound
 
my choice for EDM up until a few days ago

Check out the Westone UM2's. Definitely have the bass you're lookng for and I've seen them around the $230-$240 range.

MTPC does nothing wrong, but is also very fit dependant from my experience.

e-Q5 are great option for your needs
Another option is DBA02 or new DBA02MK2
 
Check MA for even even better deal then 249

Thanks for all your help so far guys, umm looks like it's coming down to either to most likely the Ortofon e-q5 or TF10 (got bunch of reviews telling me I can't really go wrong with either of them for the value).

I like my EQ-5's, they have some nice clarity and detail.  Though I tend to prefer the Westone W3's and IE8's recently for listening, not sure you could find those new for $250...but definitely used on the for sale forums for less.
 
Never heard the TF10's,  but everyone seams to love them....if they fit right.
