i have been using sony mdr-ex50lp for sometime. but one day, while traveling, i slept off with it in my ear. when i woke up, one no sound comes from the left bud. so, now practically its useless now. so im looking fr a new headphone in ear type. i do like very bassy headphones. can anyone suggest me some? and it wud be wonderful if anyone could tell me wether my mdr-ex50lp can be repaired..

You must go with Sennheiser HD 201 or Audio Technica ATH ON303
You can find them both on flipkart.com

In order of preference:
e10, e30, brainwavz m1, sony mdr ex60lp(sony fans die one this)
If you want to go cheaper Soundmagic es18 is pretty awesome. Beats all headphones in <rs 800 range? And, definitely meelectronics m9(see ebay globalbuy) are very good if you want to take the extra shot. You can find it for appx rs 1600.
Note:
1.Beware that Soundmagic headphones are listed expensive on online shops.
2.Although Vsonic gr99 is the best among the lot but they are so much difficult to find. See here: "Welcome to HiFiNage" - The Only Online Store to buy Swans HiVi Speakers in India
