You will never get amazing bass from small things unless somebody invents something Nobel worthy...
Check out some of the higher end Shure and Ultimate Ears ear buds, they reproduce bass and everything else at a very high level, but you get what you pay for. I had a pair of $180 UEs and they failed after 1.5 years. Since Logitech bought the company, there's only a 1 year warranty on them.
