If you are looking for deep low tight bass (the kind you find in the sony XB range of headphones) then you should seriously consider Sony's XB range of in ears. I own the XB20, XB40, XB41IP and they deliver (I had to buy Comply T400s to get a proper seal thou, stock single flange ones were rubbish for my ears). I believe you can easily walk into BB/FS to pick up the lower range XB20/XB21 for about 30-40 bucks.

I bought a set of MEe m6p (seems like everyone and their dog thinks it very good/has tons of bass) and honestly, its not what people claim it to be. There is more bass than your average $20 sony/jvc/skullcandy/apple buds but does not even come close to satisfying bass cannon lovers/fans. Then again for ~$40 Shipped to my door, I can accept that it will not fair as well as a ~$100 MDR-XB41
