So I'm looking for a set of phones to wear outside the house. At my computer I use my Sennheiser PC350s, but they have a mic and they aren't quite suitable for use outside my house.
So I was wondering about some more stylish but still quality options. I listen to 80s/90s hip hop, so I like bass, but good bass. Not bass that drowns everything else out. I was looking at these but Logan said they aren't really bassy.

I just noticed that style isn't a factor often considered on this forum, and wanted to see what you guys thought.
And for the love of god, how can people say that Beats have a good style, I think they're hideous!
I'd like some different price options below $100. It seems like the more I research IEMs the more I find and the more I'm unsure. Haha. So I just want to hear some subjective suggestions.
Also I should add that these will be used mainly with a smartphone.
I really like my standard kc-06's if you want style you can pick up a kc-06a on amazon for a few more dollars, they replaced my monster DNA's.
Razer hammerheads are't as clear but has a "style," to them, check out a couple of youtubes on them, you can get them with a in line mic if you desire for $20 more.
From an actual reviewer (who has reviewed hundreds of iems) "The sound of the KC06 is on the whole balanced, but a little off-neutral. Bass is slightly enhanced overall, with mild sub-bass roll-off."
