umm ive owned both of them so well tht kinda answers your question..i currently have a re0..and im in love with it
firstly read the title before commenting anything..he said he needs a bassy iem and i guess you dont have much driver knowledge.. cause you would know that re0 wasn't designed to be bass heavy and pairing it with a warm bassy amp would just make the sound muddy with the bass option on
the superfi on the other hand have armature drivers so you would find good details..yes obv not as good as the re0 but considering re0 has a totally different sound signature..and the bass on the superfi 5 eb kicks re0 ass bigtime
bottom line..pls dont compare a superfi 5 eb with a re0
if u want a neutral sounding iem with fantastic treble..go for the re0
if u want a good detailed sound with decent enough bass..go for the re0 with a warm sounding amp
if u want just the thumping bass like our good ol creative ep-630..dont consider the re0..you'll be very disappointed..instead go for bass heavy iems like the v-moda's,superfi 5 eb,
senheiser..havent heard the hippo shrooms so cant comment on those etc

@aashish07 - Dude have you heard either the SF5 or the RE0 ?
The Superfi 5 has always been an overpriced earphone and its detailing is no where near the best in the IEM world. The Re0 however IS proven to be among the best and you will be hard pressed to find anything to beat it below $200.
monster turbines are for extreme bassheads
hyeah:..u might wanna audition them first before buying
your best best considering u own re0 and triple fi is that you like good detailed sounds so i u wanna increase the bass input..try a warm amp and pair it with the re0
for 100-150$ you can get pretty decent amps..ill let you know your best option soon

Thanks all for the inputs. I fortunately own both RE0 and TripleFi and can understand what you guys are suggesting.
His budget's currently around $120, will not be able to afford TripleFi. As Faheem's suggesting perhaps a good amp might be a good option. But I doubt an amp might be able to bring in a huge difference to RE0's bass. Which amps should I consider for <120$. He currently lives in US, so availability might not be an issue. Anyone here heard Monster turbine(basic model) which currently is available for $110 from amazon?
I am considering getting for myslef, a neutral amp which can get RE0 to a different level. Which amps would you guys suggest for less than $150?
