Need Earphones/Headphones , Budget 3.5k (IEMs)

Hi fellow DIGITians ,

My previous preferred IEM ( Dunnu hephaes DN-16 ) suddenly stopped working properly, (one of the earpiece doesn't work) .But it was a damn good earphone with superior bass and built like a tank . Thanks to [MENTION=20614]Faun[/MENTION] for giving it to me.
I loved it , but it's kind of dead now .

I prefer earphones/headphones with Deep and Clear Bass and Good Highs . i.e. I prefer a sort of V-output from my IEMs. The vocals should sound clear , if possible.
I don't use any amps , I just use my IEMs with either of my laptops mentioned in my Signature below , or My Smartphones or Sansa clip to listen to music(320kbps or FLAC) , and Watch movies.
So my priority is high quality music and high-def movies.

I am willing to spend somewhere around 1,000-3500 INR , I can go a little bit up or down , depending upon the options and qualities available.
No brand preference , but the build quality should be good ( since I often end up breaking my IEMs , despite of all the extreme care I present to them ) and excellent highs and lows.

Looking forward to all kind of suggestions , even those who have un-used IEMs willing to trade/sell , can count me.

BTW , the only reason I would go over a Headphone Instead of IEM , if the Sound Quality is better in Headphone suggested. O/W , I am not willing to sacrifice portability at all.

How much can I get them for and are they available in India ??
Last time I had ordered something from EBay global and it took almost a month.

How about the Sony MDR xb series ?? I like the XB90 but not sure if it's worth the 3500 price tag.
Then there's this XB70/XB50 as well.

Also how's VSonic GR02 comparatively ??

I hope they do good ...as I made a buy without much opinions on the product based on personal view and Sony's loyalty .

Well, I have a pair of entry level Sony IEMs that I use occasionally ... The MDR ex110lp and they sound quite satisfactory for their price... Waiting for your review though!!! :)

Yeah. Well these ones require a lot of burn in time.
Plus it will take at least a week for it to be delivered by flipkart.
Will post it by next week .

@Hrishi Waiting for review buddy. I am also looking to buy IEMs around 3K.

Also I see you have TekFusion Twinwoofers. How are they? On flipkart 1800 gave them 5 stars and about 900 1-star. What do you say?

well i am not getting plenty of time to review the xb90. I will post a review in upcoming week or so.
running too busy with office during weekdays.

as far as the twinwoofers are concerned they are sort of over rated .
for the price of 1200rs they are vfm ,but you cant compare it with high ends or anything above 3k.

Twinwoofers are balanced in SQ , and cladding is good and light but strain relief , meshing ,and 3.5mm jack is not well built.
