Hello guys!
 
Here I am, at another crossroads of my life: buying new IEMs. (for me they're the best for road/travelling). After a few long hours of reading reviews and opinions/recommendations around here, I can't really decide of what I need. So I'm putting down my situation and experience hoping that someone could near down my possible choices.
 
So I start with the price. I don't really wanna spend more than 100 EUR/130 USD. I'm not that of an audiophille nor I have a bigger budget.
 
My experience extends to a pair of Senn CX300 and a pair of HeadDirect RE0.
 
The first ones were bought during university so, back then (some 4-5 years ago) they were the best low budget opinion (I think). They were ok (giving the money and experience), but in the end I realized that maybe the only nice thing about them was the deep (but sometimes muddy) bass. They RIP since this spring.
 
So, after some reading around here I ended up with RE0. Nice IEMs, I really like them, but they lack bass. Even with some EQ they don't please me entirely. So I gave them to my girlfriend.
 
I also had the chance to try a FiiO E5 with both. CX300 seemed to have a better sound stage and overall better sound, but the RE0 were almost the same. (sadly I lost the pretty amp).
 
So now I'm looking for something that has the goods of both worlds: some RE0 with deeper bass. If you have any suggestions, please feel free to write them here.
 
Happy holidays! 
 
 
PS: RE0's tips are quite bad when it comes to fitting them onto the IEMs. Just before giving them away I lost one of the double flanged big tips.
 
Later edit: Right now I have an old iriver T10 which is going to be changed, but that's another story.

i would say: Phonak Audeo perfect bass (the good thing is: you can change the sound with several filters)

I second that. I have the Phonak Perfect Bass and I think they will suit you very well.
They are also extremely small, light & comfortable to wear. The all black color looks nice too.

PFE Perfect Bass is a good choice for bass, though might come out as slightly dark compared to RE0. MY recommendation is ECCI PR401. It has a slightly V shaped sound so you get a good bass and treble at the same time.

ClieOS, how would you compare the RE0 with T400 Comply Foam tips to stock PFE 0xx and ECCI PR401?

I am using TX400 (with build-in filter) with RE0 most of the time. TX400 gives just a touch of warm to the overall sound which is better balanced than silicone eartip and T400. It is still quite a lot more analytical the the PFE Perfect Bass (which is a bit dark actually in comparison) and more refined than PR401. I still prefer RE0 with TX400 over PFE-PB (but it is close) and PR401 (which lacks the top resolution to compete with RE0 and PFE-PB). However PR401 is really much fun to listen than the other two.
