Bassy earphones that are not canal-phones?

I already own canalphones that i'm happy with, but there are times i wish i had normal non-isolating earphones.

Keeping in mind that i like big bass (which i know is hard to get out of open earphones). And the closest i've come to bass out of non-isolating earphones were sony's ED-31, which were unfortunately uncomfortable.

V-moda seem to kick up a fuss about their remix m-class, but what are your recommendations?

Sens PX100 FTW! They are just amazing. I haven't found a canalphone yet with such sound quality.

I'm in a grouchy mood so don't get me iPod bashing too.

They're only obscure if you hang around iPod forums instead of headphone forums.

Agreed, those seems like very good earphones! When my FS1 goes, I'll give them a try. So hard to find nice buds.

I suggest Skullcandy which have 50mm drivers and are great for the price. They have too much bass for rap in my opinion. They are good for a budgeter.
