For a basshead cks1000 would be the #1 choice among here for quality bass. If quantity is what you are after i suggest looking at the sony xb90ex and ath cks77x

 
Even for a non-basshead, the quality of the cks1000's bass is sweeeeeeet :)

Well that's no good. But they are so cheap tho. That's why I shared it a while ago because they are one of the best in value IMHO.

All HTC one owners, you guys should try the stock earphones which come in the box I found that they sound very nice for a free stuff, for me they sound almost as good as Basso.

 
I agree, these are good freebies.

  Well the great thing about this hobby is having different sounds. I don't know too many guys that just own one earphone. Most true enthusiasts all have more than a few and for good reason. It would not surprise me at all if guys prefer a more colored signature over a less colored S2. I do all the time.. My CKS1000 is a prime example of that..Then once you are in the mood for it the S2 will get you right back to why they pair so well with the X3.. I think right now there is more variety and value in earphones than there ever has been. It is an exciting time to be an enthusiast for certain.

  true enough DS but....
how many headphones and earphones does a true head-fi fanatic need to to have
a proper range of sounds?  (also include daps with different sound signatures...?????
and what is worth "collecting" as opposed to using?

 
A true head-fi fanatic doesn't ask himself those kinds of questions!

LOL yeah, we mostly ask ourselves quastions more in line with "Did I buy enough audio gear this month or not?". Seriously, I'm getting bored and OCD checking head-fi all the time wondering what to buy. ANd to be honest I haven't bought almost anything the past few months - only the VSD1/S and pre-ordered the Deltas and I'm getting anxious

you just don't know (yet) that you're simply waiting for the new Sony xba h3 :-$ the only thing I bought recently was DX50 and xb90ex (well, almost a year ago) so yeah. my advice would be to wait for black Friday and get something on a discount (assuming you can get things from U.S.)

Or better question, how many can one sneak past the spouse ...
 
After all, as my better half once said to me " You only have two ears, why do you need so many headphones"
LOL!

I'll say that's money going to a good cause.

^ Welp like with anything we only have one body, why do we "need" more than one of anything at all. If that's truly the case everyone will be living like Gandhi.

  It's too cheap to be the Heaven V - probably heaven IV or even II.

Can't find any more of their BAs apart from this one listed - http://www.molex.com/molex/products/family?key=balanced_armature_audio_receiver&channel=products&chanName=family&pageTitle=Introduction
 
Perhaps they'll have access to a new one from Molex. Yes they're all from Molex.
