Please suggest me an earphone that has good bass (like ep 630 & unlike Brainwavz M2) and has good sound quality too(like Brainwavz M2 and unlike ep 630).
I heard both the above mentioned earphones side by side. I liked ep-630 because of its 1/4th price of M2 and it's great bass.
I had been using EP-630 for more than 3 years and I was pretty satisfied with it, as it sounded good and I had budget no more than 600.

But now I'm ready to spend much more (around 1.5K), but I can't get a good earphones that has atleast 80% of EP630's bass and and much better detailing than EP-630 (as I'm spending 1K more, I want the best of both and that's obvious).

I had once bought EP-830 and considered it as worse than EP630 as it didn't have better bass than ep-630. I'm thinking of giving EP-830 yet another try. I had bought that for around 900 at that time, but now it costs RS 1250/-.

So what do you say guys?

EP830 or someother earphones in that range?

BTW, i got recommendations for Marshmallows and PL-21, but I DON'T want a <1K budget earphone. I need a earphone with budget 1K or higher (not because i need to spend that extra money, but I need that extra quality and i have money for that). And if you say that PL-21 is better than an 1.5K earphone, please suggest me 1.5K/2K earphone that would be better than 3k earphones or something like that...

Please pour in your suggestions immediately and ASAP, as my EP-630 have gone kaput and I'm looking for a replacement any minute :( :( :(
Also, can anyone tell me the difference between Soundmagic PL-21 and Brainwavz M2 in terms of bass. (If PL-21 doesn't have the detailing, resolution and clarity of M2 that's ok, but if it has better bass than M2 and better clarity and EP630, then I might go in for a try. cause of it's price, I can atleast keep it as an alternative earphone)
 
Brainwavz M2 has definitely more bass than PL-21, M2 has livelier and upfront presentation, M2 has more bass, especially mids, treble is also more in M2, PL-21 has somewhat dark presentation. I have not noticed better soundstage in M2, I can say soundstage of M2 is about same as PL-21.
 
For 1.5K, Brainwavz M1 is the best option for you. You won't realize how much you like an IEM until you listen to at least 5-6 songs on it. Until then your older earphone will always sound better even if it's actually worse. It has something to do with acclimatization.
 
Brainwavz M1 aint that good , you can try getting the proalpha , in M1 the bass is pretty less , if bass is a important component you can try the Sennheiser CX-180 , for 1400 bucks they are pretty good , i have owned them and i liked it more than the brainwavz M1.
