If you are looking for deep low tight bass (the kind you find in the sony XB range of headphones) then you should seriously consider Sony's XB range of in ears. I own the XB20, XB40, XB41IP and they deliver (I had to buy Comply T400s to get a proper seal thou, stock single flange ones were rubbish for my ears). I believe you can easily walk into BB/FS to pick up the lower range XB20/XB21 for about 30-40 bucks.
I bought a set of MEe m6p (seems like everyone and their dog thinks it very good/has tons of bass) and honestly, its not what people claim it to be. There is more bass than your average $20 sony/jvc/skullcandy/apple buds but does not even come close to satisfying bass cannon lovers/fans. Then again for ~$40 Shipped to my door, I can accept that it will not fair as well as a ~$100 MDR-XB41

I couldn't find them cheap on Ebay. And the bass tuning seemed more like a novelty
Than real use, since I'm just going to use the extreme bass ones and never switch them again.
I checked out the official sites for some of the headphones, but they don't even mention "bass"
In their ad or catch phrases. That's a red flag for me, since I'm looking for bass, not "enhanced acoustic audio", etc. | SP51's also have a bigger 10.0mm driver.
Here's brief review: [REVIEW] MEElectronics SP51 & A151
I use the M11+ myself and it's enough bass for me. I also really like the type of cabling they use on their headphones and the shitloads of eartips and accessories they include.

$100 max budget? Want massive bass?
The Hippo VB bar none. $89 shipped (with free DAC) from jaben.net
If you want to up your budget to something ridiculous, Sennheiser IE8 is apparently bass-heavy. Though I've never heard them myself, a friend has them and he actually dislikes that the IE8s pump out sooo much bass.
Also, having owned the CX300ii for a while, I think it kinda sucks. The amount of bass it puts out does offset its lack of clarity compared to similarly priced IEMs (MeE M6  ). It's not as durable as the M6 either.

I'm checking out a lot of reviews... But don't understand what's high, mid, low, etc...
And how much does dynamic mm driver factor in?
Or is it some number that only means something on paper?
M31 has 9mm
Sp51 has 10mm
Is that a lot of difference?

Seriously, try searching for headphones with the best bass and this will pop up.

RE: Atrio M5 - They are almost double his budget but yes, they are fairly universally known for their bass. Quote:

Is that a lot of difference? | Driver size has at most a correlative relationship with sound quality. Drivers of different sizes can be tweaked to give different sounds. Also: highs = treble, mid = mids, lows = bass.

I like modding things though so I did it for fun. Easy to do... Took about eight minutes.
I might settle for the SP51... Anyone know how does it compare with the m6p in bass?
And is MEElectronics a new company? Can't find a wiki page on them.
is there a cheaper place to order than from their official site?

I had bother the klipsh s4i's and s2's. They sound almost the same if not the same imo. Great bass. I'm still using my s2's everyday and they're pretty undestructable.. Only headphones that ever lasted me longer than a year. Get them for $20 shipped off amazon. One of the best $20 I've ever spent

Could try using a headphone amp as well to up the bass.

Klipsch S4, give about 40 hours of burn in and you have some headphones that compete with other 200-300 headphones and you can get em locally at BB or futureshop.

the s4i's bass is nothing to write hm about ... even when plugged into the e10. i'd definitely listen to someone else's before making the jump. they are decent headphones when they are 1/2 off msrp

Thanks for the responses everyone...
decided to go with the Meelectronics SP51.
Will let you know what I think of them whenever I get it physically.
I had to order it online.
