Your budget? Piston is a great IEM and not only for Bass per se.

Get the Piston 3. It has bass , details and a good soundstage. It sounds as good as a 5 times more expensive IEM sounds.

Try KZ ED9. A lot of people are suggesting it on HeadFi. For 750rs its one of the best IEMs for price/performance.

For bass, you should go with ED8.

[MENTION=145618]yashxxx[/MENTION] I own the Piston 3 and its superb. I own IEMs like klipsch custom 3 , Sleek audio sa6 , Cayin amp, Fiio k2, etc etc and a lotta headphones too ( onkyo,audio technica, phillips,sennheiser,jvc etc etc ) apart from a dedicated stereo system and a ht system.... So trust me I know my stuff and the thing called audio.

I'm hearing good things about Knowledge IEMs but havnt heard them yet.

Knowledge is kind of a under dog but they are making some good hardware.

I am more interested in Vsonic, they are hyped to oblivion these days, people are comparing them with Sony EX1000, that's a very bold claim.

They are good but not EX100 good. Keeping price a factor it may be for a few but I am not in that crowd. I like a few of the offerings from Vsonic but that is indeed is a big claim.
