Suppose I better give you some background -
I currently own some Soundmagic PL21 IEMs and I like them, but after a year of use they've finally come to their death and they need replacing, I am in the UK so bear in mind, some headphone choices which are available in the USA might not be available here.
I currently own some large circumaural Sennheiser HD201s and I like these when they're run through my home theater amplfiier but less so when they're directly connected to my phone or MP3 player (sansa clip+) as they sound quite anemic in the bass department from a portable source.
Ideally i'd like the equivalent to the HD201s in IEM format; if that's possible also sometimes with the HD201 I feel i'd like some extra bass sometimes, below i'll list some of the various types of music you might find me listening to:
Metal - metalcore, heavy metal, alternative metal, nu metal, some thrash metal, in other words, lots of metal! (think system of a down, bullet for my valentine, slipknot, spineshank, machine head)
Hard Rock think bands like godsmack, three days grace, alien ant farm, papa roach
others include a small amount of ska-punk(think spunge, capdown), pop punk and indie pop (the xx, two door cinema club, white lies, pheonix)
so it's quite varied but i hope my post has been descriptive enough for you, and finally my budget is a firm £50 or 80$
