You said it well "for the price" my goal is achieving the sub bass without focusing on a price. Denon in my opinion is not focused on providing bass for the basshead!
sub bass is not the only form of bass -> mid-bass is too.
I can tell you for a fact that the Denon C710 & C751's had good mid-bass with a nice extension.
The TFTA's beat them, and the MG7's beat them in sub-bass -> but for their price of around £70-80 for the c710's they were well worth it, and i never regretted buying them.
The MG7's, even though i got at only £60 (lucky), their RRP is $200 so around £140
You got to compare and contrast the RRP's here.

...so what do you suggest if Denon is the wrong way to go???
No it isn't
Depends on what you want.
Headphone wise the Denon D2000's provide a good basss response, and in fact handle ALL frequencies perfectly.
But they don't give you that slam in your face bass (ie. mid-bass)
My sony XB700's had much more mid bass.....then again comparing ANYTHING else, ie sound stage, mids, highs, was laughable vs my denon's
if you really, I mean really want mid-bass only, then look elsewhere:
V-Moda, Sony Xb1K's, Ultrasone Pro 900's, Beyer DT990's
I you want the best
all-rounder, the Denon D2K's are a wise choice to go for.
I wanted more bass...no problem now - I have the D2K's with all its all-round goodness - and a ZO2 which adds enough bass to make the god damn headphones vibrate on my head

Depends on how much you will spend for the bass. Say around $150 to $300 go for Atrios for sub bass warm organic sounding earphones. They will give you the sound as if you have a great turntable ( $150 Dollar cartrage/needle), record, and floor standing speakers. The Atrios will always give you bass because thats a focal point about them (Dynamic Driver). You can go for the Westones which are easy to insert and will give you very good bass, The westones have 3 drivers and they sound good in every type of music. If you want to spend more you can pick any of these which all three will give you all the bass you will need and at the same time are very good in the meds and highs but each has their own personality. Futuresonics MG6 Pro (they make the universal Atrios) I have this earphone and the bass is just like a 12 inch floor standing woofer. UM Merlins (I do not have but I am sure they are very good) these has a dynamic driver for the bass like the Atrios has and they will have BA drivers for the meds and highs. The other which I do not have but I honestly believe by reading many reviews by owners who are very experienced with earphones is the heirs Audio 8. Quote:
His talking about headphones, not earphones
but agreed with your IEM recommendations regardless
