Shure E2c sounds like the best for you, because it has the best bass at your price range (which i'm assuming around $70)

I'm going to compare the stock ear-buds to the Shure E2 so you'll know what to expect...

1. The E2 has better separation of sound. For example, if you listen to classical music, you can clearly separate what instrument is playing what. Little things like, artist taking a deep breath before they sing, you'll be able hear it.

2. You stated 'loader' sound, so I assume you mean, fuller. Yes, the Shure E2 is fuller than stock buds. The music is much more natural and richer.

3. Isolation, Shure E2 has a lot more noise isolation than the stock buds because they go deep into your ears.

Finally, anything the apple buds can do, the Shure E2 is better at. However, most people expect to notice a difference right-away without using canal phone before. You should use the E2 for two weeks before you can accurately judge them. Give your ears/brain some time to get use to them. If you never heard that many details before, it also might be a little fatiguing. Because there's so much at once.

In short, buy them, use them for two weeks and tell us what you think of them (whether you like them or now). Don't post your comments right after you open the box and listen for only 5 minutes. Because it probably wont be very accurate judgement of the E2. They are the best canal phone at the price range, and you should take your time listening to them.
