Hey there,
 
I'm looking for new earbuds. I had "v-moda vibrato" and "v-moda m100" and I liked them ALOT.
The budget is around the 50$-100$. My main needs are: BASS&HIGH QUALITY SOUND for iPhone 5/6.
 
Any ideas what should I go for?
 
 
Thanks :)
 
Edit:
 
By the way, "Sennheise MOMENTUM In-Ear i" (http://en-us.sennheiser.com/momentum-headphones-in-ear) are good?

Plenty of IEMs in your price range has good bass, so you're going to have to tell us a little more about what you're looking for in a pair of headphones.What kind of music do you listen to? What sort of signature are you looking for?

Ok, I'm just gonna wing it and suggest a few earphones that might fit the genres you listen to. For a warm signature, something that has good bass and mids; Shure SE215 (Clarity, Clear Vocals, Punchy Bass), and RHA MA750i (Heavier bass). For a fun signature, something that has good bass & highs with recessed mids; JVC HA-FXT90 .

I have trayed to many earbuds around the price you are looking for. All of them after use for serveal months the cabels broke some where and its painful to fix them so buying an earbuds with a detachable cable will be a great upgrade.
The Shure SE215 are the only headphones with a detachable cable in 100$ price tag with a great sound strong bass.
I also recommend you to buy Fiio E6 headphone amplifier witch it will make your music experience unbliveble.
Here are the links from amazon for the Shure SE215 & fiio E6:

They're very similar in sound. The RHAs has slightly better bass, but the trade-off is in the build quality. The Shures have detachabke cables and better noise isolation. It's up to you to decide what's more important.

What do you mean when you say "trade off is in the build quality" ?
 
By the way, I found this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826901004&cm_re=rha-_-26-901-004-_-Product
 
Thats like 60$ off the regular price. 
What would you take? Shure or RHA?

Take the RHAs. I was noting that the Shures has better build quality. The RHAs might have a stainless steel housing, but most earphones suffer from cable failure and Shure's detachable cable is just friendlier to the user. Still, its hard to not recommend the RHAs at that price.
