My current earphones Brainwavz M1 has gone bad and hence I'm looking for a new pair of In-Ear Phones.
Will be primarily used to listen to Hindi and other regional movie songs.
Focus is primarily on good bass.

Kindly share your suggestions.

You got a vast budget. it would be better if you make it in a certain range. Like 3k or 4k. 1 to 5k is a big option fledged budget.

Between 3k-4k.
Emphasis is more on Bass.

OP has a budget till 4k, so why VSD3/S instead of VSD5? It's so much better than VSD3/S.
I'd suggest either VSD5 if you want massive soundstage, more of a neutral sound (but bass is really good, punchy and clean when song demands it) and excellent detail retrieval but mediocre build quality.
Or Ostry KC06A for more of a GR07 like sound with really good build quality.

Don't go for CX300, SQ is really not that great.

GR07 is the best choice here, but it crosses your budget

VSD5 is better than VSD3S/VSD3 and it fits your budget. I'd suggest you go for this

Buy from here - Vsonic VSD5 - Lend Me UR ears

I think I read somewhere that VSD3 is better than VSD5 when it comes to Bass, I guess that's what shadow is suggesting as well.
How about the build quality I think one of these doesn't have good build quality.

That might be true, but overall VSD5 is an upgrade

if you treat the thing with care it will be going to go with you forever. The build quality is good but not the best out there.

There is no need to depend on vote. We have already given our suggestions.

Quick rundown-

CX 300 - Bad option; avoid
GR07 - Leave it; out of budget
Ostry - Good option
VSD3/VSD3S - Good option
VSD5 - Best option; better than vsd3 and ostry and in budget too

Apart from the above mentioned do check
Havi b3 pro1

Fidue A71 (best suited imo) or the lower end fidue A63.

Have you tried A71 or A63?
sandynator
Mar 28, 2015 at 7:06 PM
No.
I just mentioned two more deserving IEMs. :)

FIDUE A71 with Dual Dynamic Drivers will be good at Bass[requirement of OP] as well as other frequencies.

You know what if seller is your concern you can buy from it. My friend bought 2 products and both came in un damaged but the packing was a bit on the lower side.

I'm quite worried with issues later on with these earphones. I had to literally dump my brainwavz M1 which now costs Rs 4k.

Seriously thinking about above but not sure about Snapdeal

I'm seriously considering this option but I see that it is listed 1t $ 163 in one of the sites then how can snapdeal offer for lesser price.
Hope it's not fishy.
Anyways this is my preference order
GR07 bass Edition>>VSD3S>> Ostry KC06

All vsonic iems on snapdeal are sold by hifinage, who are the sole importers & provide 1 year official warranty in India.

BTW the price of $163 is singapore dollar & its conversion is US $130

Do not give it a second thought if you had made up your mind on this. Just go ahead and buy it. And thanks to sandynator you has no warranty issue as well.

I'm some how not too happy with the built for GR07 hence worried if I should go for it.
With a kid around we never know.

Well this is actually a gift to family member.
Also I'm not an audiophile so in case I review it also don't expect too many technical terms.
