    I'm looking for nice earphones with lots of bass because i listen to dubstep/dnb mostly.
    I currently have sennheiser cx300 ii but these doesn't have much bass , so its kind of useless for me. Any suggestions what to buy :confused:
    My budget is only 60 GBP ... So yeah.

    If you want bass more than anything else, then Sony EX51 or EX71 would be what you're looking for. It sounds like you're strapping two subwoofers to your ears.

    It's not very balanced sound - in my opinion, the bass is overwhelmingly thick and loose. I'd say that the Sennheiser CX-300B's have much more balanced sound with decent bass. But if you crave more bass than that, then Sony EX51 / EX71 would be your thing.

    If you can bump your budget up a little bit, you will also want to check out Super.Fi 5 EB. SuperFi will have much higher quality sound in the mids and highs, but do cost a little bit more than your budget.

    I'd say just EQ them. There's not really an in-ear for around that much that's necessarily any more satisfying to a huge degree. Try Foobar2K as a player, and go to one of the community sites to get good EQ plugins / presets for it.
