The Philips Fidelio L1 definitely needs to be put on this list!

Well fellow bassheads I need some advice. I have always wanted to get myself some sort of a portable headphone which I could take on the tube or well anywhere I go. I have searched this forum inside out but still can't make up my mind.
I need something reasonably portable, up to 120£, that has good isolation and rattles your head with the sort of bass that Atrio's do. I even prefer the overall sound (especially bass) of my Atrio's over the sound of my PRO900's. In other words mid-bass does not interest me that much, sub-bass is what I am after.
My current options that I have considered:
Ultrasone HFI-580
M-Audio Q40
V-Moda M80
Any opinions and suggestions are welcome!
Well to be honest I have never tried any other IEM or headphone that could even touch the Atrio on it's sub-bassthere were people saying that the ATH-CKS77 would take the crown from the Atrio as the bass kings and that the sub-bass was almost the same between the two and these were the people who have owned both of these IEM's, so in the belief of that I did purchase the CKS77 as well. But to my big disappointment the CKS77 can't really touch Atrio in the sub-bass department (that's just my opinion)
Sooo the point is that even having auditioned or owned the same gear, people tend to sometimes have very different opinions.

What can anyone recommend for sub bass oriented headphones under $300? I like the Pro 900s a lot, but, I need sub bass. I didn't know they were mid bass oriented until after buying them, so, depending on how they sound on the E17 which arrives tomorro, I may return them.
They were $300 and I don't mind spending it all again for quality . I really want the mids to clear and distinct and the treble to be relaxed. And lots of sub bass.
Really? I was actually just about to order the PRO900. Guess I'll have to search again.

I am really leaning towards the Q40. The only thing that is bothering me now is how much do they really leak? Cause my GF is really sensitive to the sound of my headphones when she tries to go to sleep (my PRO900s leaked to much with velour pads) and I don't really want to disturb anyone while commuting plus I want to be isolated from the surroundings.
Any idea what is the synergy with the ZO2.3? Cause I forgot to update my sig since I have sold my E11. (I found the E11 paired a LOT better with PRO900s than the ZO).
Thanks!
kenman I am currently not looking at any IEM's but them Aurisonics look nice! How much did you pay for your pair if that is not a secretThe AS-1 seem really reasonably priced
