Hey guys...
which of these earphones is best option for me?

HiFiMAN RE400
Sennheiser CX 5.00
Beyerdynamic DX160IE
Audio-Technica ATH-CKR70iS
Audio-Technica ATH-LS50iS
Sennheiser MOMENTUM In Ear
1More E1001
AKG N20
HiFiMAN RE400

Sound quality, clarity, DETAIL and SOUND SEPARATION are most important things for me,,, BUT i want a nice , accurate and satisfying bass too... because i sometimes listen to EDM music like Psytrance and sometimes hiphop too.
so i dont want a heavy bass that destroy the music and sound lost in bass... i just need a decent and sexy bass that satisfy me. :D

Not on your list, but among the best bass headphones are the MDR-EX1000 and the MDR-7550 (same as the Japanese MDR-EX800ST). I would recommend the 7550 as the overall signature is not as bright. I've owned the MDR-EX600 and the MDR-7550, both great but the 7550 is among the best bass I've heard from any headphone, not just IEMs. It is so deep, and smooth, and the rest of 7550 is very clear with only a hint of grain up tip. Tyll reviewed the initial EX600 and EX1000.

The 7550 went toe-to-toe against some other fine recommendation in this thread https://www.head-fi.org/threads/head-fi-basshead-iem-thread-lists-page-1.761433/

Anyhow, I know we've talked in the past, and as a fellow psytrance-head I think you would be floored.

Out of those on your list, my preference is for the 1More Triple Driver. Whatever you do, I would be cautious about the RE400, as its build quality is not necessarily the best. I would also add to your list the RHA MA750--super well made and sounds terrific. A very good value.
