Requirement - bass heavy, longetivity

I have previously used denon ahc260, sony xb30ex, brainwavz m4 and es18. Out of these, es18 was my favourite. I had two es18s that worked fine for 2 years before. I lost them.
I am i a dilemma now, whether should i buy es18 again or try something else.

Audio technica ath cor 150 looked promising but its not available at amazon

Suggestions will be highly appreciated

Sennheiser CX180 is better than ES18, that's what I feel ( I own cx180 n my friend has es18)

Es18 isn't worth over Rs 550. Get either CX180 or Delta.
