My Headdirect RE2 that i bought 6 months ago just broke (left bud is dead :| )

So now I need new IEM's and I can spend up to about 50/60 Euro (about 80 $). I live in Italy but go to England every now and then so I can buy them on websites like Amazon.co.uk

I listen mainly to rock and to bands like Shinedown, Sum 41, Linkin Park and others.

The RE2 maybe had to little bass but apart from that i really loved them.

Which IEM can you suggest me?

RE1s, they're RE2s with some moderate bass extension. The cool dragon case is a bonus. Make sure you amp them.

Theres also the RE0 which goes for 79 before shipping if you can stretch your budget a bit for shipping

I bought the FiiO E5 + RE2 bundle, would it be enough to amp the RE1/0?

Since they both cost 89 $ with shipping, which one is better?

Aren't there any other good IEM's in this price range?

The Klipsch Image S4 is a little above your price range in Europe (£61.24), but it is worth consideration due to your want of additional bass. Search and read some of the reviews. After some use, they clean up nicely and have great bass (and all-around sq) for the price.

The E5 amps the RE0/1 no problem. Owning both, it's not a question of better, but of different--RE0s are detailed and airy, RE1s are richer and more balanced.

Any more suggestions?

I don't think ill be getting the RE1/0 even if they seem to be excellent but i have already experienced the lack of bass with the RE 2 and I'm looking for something a little bit more punchy, not overwhelming bass, just a bit more.

And 60 € is my max, if the Klipsch Image S4 are THAT good then I'd be glad to go overbudget.
