I'd have to agree with Kunlun here. I have the DBA-02 and I've owned the S4 in the past. Judging the OP's desire for bass/comfort the DBA-02 are not that great a choice. The OP liked the bass from the S4 and quantity wise the S4 has much more bass but quality is better on the DBA-02. I like the DBA-02 a lot but I would not recommend them. Just because something is a good value buy does not mean everyone will like it.
 
Actually something to consider may be the Golds. I believe they go for around $150 but not too sure about that.

Well this is coming from a former basshead (Skullcandy Ink'D, Shure SE115), the OP really has to consider whether he really wants bass versus overall better sound quality because I sure did not miss my very warm bass SE115's for the RE0; and that's going from completely opposite sound signatures.
 
In any case, I found the Monster Turbine Coppers for $169 used... if that may be of any help to the OP.
