The only difference between the old and new turbines is the 3.5mm connector.  The last run has a straight plug and the newest ones have the right angle plug.  Nothing different at all with the headphones themselves so I'm not sure what you're talking about.
 

Hmm ok, from what i've read in that thread which i only glanced at it looked like there was issues with the straight connector? Maybe i'm mistaken and that would be great if I am

Radius DDM has great bass and soundstage.
If you only want slightly more bass, you could try an amp or RE-ZERO/Sunrise SW X-Cape.

I am very interested in the monster turbines, but i can't find a good place to buy them from in Sweden. If anyone know a place that ships to sweden that would be awesome. In sweden they go for about 150euro which from sites in the US they seem to go for like 100dollar... Its quite a difference but none of them ships to sweden
 
Tbh a place that ships IEMs to sweden overall would be great after the review of the Ecci PR401 i got quite interested in them as well... But it is so hard to find places that ship to sweden.

Having owned the original Monster Turbines I appreciate my Denon 560R much more as it does not have nearly as small a soundstage and it has better mid-range and treble as well. All for less money.

It's not really a issue with Turbine's straight connector, but the fact that generally a straight connector (rather than right-angle connector) goes through more strain & stress especially if you like to put your portable player in your pocket.  Check your portable player, is the headphone socket on the side or top of it?  And then consider which type of connector may be better for you.

M1's are not bass heavy to my ears.

I also wouldn't say they were neutral though? I'd say the bass is more prominent than anything else but maybe that's just me

After a good weekend of burn in, I'm really loving my Phonak Audeo Perfect Bass.  In the last few weeks I've auditioned quite a few bass-centric headphones and even though the Turbines have the sound I prefer, I'm leaning towards the Phonak's because of the ease of use at the gym where I listen to 75% of my music.  The Turbines are just a bit too heavy for running and I'll definitely hang on to them because they are ultra comfortable to me with the Sony Hybrid tips, but couple the weight with sweat and they start to slip (hate foams, so that's not the answer either).  
 
So I picked up the Phonak's and have been using them ever since.  The bass isn't quite as impactful or deep as the Turbines but the rest of the soundstage appears to be more balanced to my amateur ears.  They sound fantastic with music like Marc Broussard, JJ Grey & Mofro, Gavin DeGraw...and they are good, but not quite as good as the Turbines for stuff like hip hop and r&b.  Again, the size, weight and fit are the deciding factors for me usually...so I can't recommend either of these headphones enough if bass is important to you.  You really can barely tell they are in your ears when you're wearing them.  Fantastic product.
