Looking for new IEMs for my dad 70$ish price range

[JoshR]

Hey Guys,I'm looking for some new IEMs for my dad. He like bass head IEMs.  The last two pair he really liked was the Sony MDR-EX310, and the MDR-XB40EX. The XB40s were his absolute favorite. Durability is a + because he uses them for working out mostly. So i would love to hear what you guys have to say.

Good for You !!!
 
Lookin out for Dad... Bravo.
 
If he likes Sony, Why not the XBA-3.
 
Good Luck, Jim

The XBA 3 seems a little expensive. What are your opinions over the mdr ex210

Look towards ThinkSound's lower-tier IEMs or even the UE500 for a bass-head IEM for that price range.  Both do fairly well.  Also talked about on this forum a lot are Hippo VBs, MEE SP51s.  If you can find a Future Sonics for that price (might be a bit tough), they are always a bass-head IEM.  Good luck.
