All the reviews make it seem as though there aren't any better ear buds.  Price really does not matter me just under 200$ would be better. I need a pair of ear buds that have the heaviest bass with the least distortion.  I can sacrifice bass for more sound quality.  I have been looking at Monster Turbines , and the V Moda Vibratos / or Vibes.

Hippo VB, Monster Turbine are both good choices, Hippo VB's bass goes deep deep into sub-bass regions. I have tried Atrio M5, which people are going to mention, and wasn't happy with them. Most people who try the VB are blown away.

Here's a recent review, only a few days old.

And another thread with someone that was looking for similar.

How about for staying in my ear fairly well.  It really annoys me when earbuds fall out.  Its not a selling point but would be nice.

I never had any problem with either, providing you lift your ear and tuck them in. See video, which is required to obtain a proper seal. Just be aware Turbines are rather heavy.

Bass wise which would you recommend?

 

[H20Fidelity]

The Hippo VB.

Thanks a lot for the input!

The best bass headphones Ive heard so far (not saying Ive heard them all) is the Soul SL99's.  Amazing bass, sounds like you are literally standing in the middle of the dance floor of a nightclub.  The highs/mids are excellent as well..........look at the youtube unboxings, and reviews.  They are all very high on these IEMs for dance, hip-hop, R&B.

I will recommend the Hippo VB, i have heard many IEMs and these are by far the best for what your are after. I do recommend you to check out the review that H2O linked you to which was mine and to also check out my round up which can be found here:

Until you hear the VB (i will admit this is only from what others say and i have not heard the M5) ( i don't normally do this but i can not see my head getting more pounded than by the VB)

Have you heard Hippo VB?

I can tell you now I've heard both. VB go deeper. Hands down.

 

[marco85]

I know people say to stay away from them but I used to own a pair of Bose in-ear and was just wondering how they compare to hippo.

 

[Swimsonny]

I have had 30 different IEMs including the rubbish beats by dre and others which are extremely top tier such as the Sony EX1000. Out of all of these if i had to keep one pair that delivered the most powerful rumbling sub-bass then i would keep the Hippo VB.

Great, Thanks for the help!
