All 3 are really weird choices if you're just chasing bass. There are better out there in.... every price range (and.... considering the price *brackets* for iems these days, you're really sort of all over the place here).
Also saying "bassy music"... is kind of not getting you any closer to what you're looking for. Are you listening to hip hop? Rock? EDM? Like *what kind* of bass, yaknow? Frankly I would suggest trying (in no particular order):
Blon Z300
Truthear Zero Blue
Simgot ew200 (the em6l is.... fine. it's really a gaming set and I can't recommend it for anything else. they're sibilant, on purpose, in a way that is great for atmospheric detail, but bad for music... literally anything else from their lineup is better for music).
Tangzu Heyday (best planar bass, hands down)
QKZ Hades (you only care about bass, f every other freq range)
Yeah... there are a few hbb collabs in this rec list but he... knows bass.
Is it furrycore?

Do you have robot ears? Not a measurement set, but literally in your head? If not you can't hear the "distortion" in the blue. You can't. You can "subjectively" disagree all you'd like.
My hearing cuts out at 14k... There is no audible difference in the mids and treble of 2 sets. The bass is better *overall*(for most libraries) on the Red, sure, but the suggestion I gave for the Blue was specifically to someone who gave a vague description about bassy music. Blue does big bass better than the Red, without scaling (no need for an amp to get the same results you're talking about from the low end of the Red+adapter).

Like a 2% difference across the board Except the 15k tuck (which they literally just did to make the Red appeal to gamers) and the elevated Midbass on the Blue (which makes it better from the standpoint of my suggestion).
My test gear: Neo iDsD, EF400, EF500, A90D w/ Musician Draco, iDsD Finale w/Pixel, apple dongle. Listening at 80-85db.
What's best upgrade option around $50-$100? I've been debating going for Simgot EW200 along with an Arrti T10 or just Simgot EA500LM and be done. 1st option is a modest upgrade in EW200 with the T10 being purely curiosity for planars as I've got no experience with them. 2nd option is based on all the hype of the 500LM and overall quality of IEM itself? I also saw another option thrown out earlier in thread in the Kinera Phoenixcall but it's a bit above my upper budget threshold.
Any feedback or additional suggestions is appreciated. Also I've crosesd off Truthear Zero Blue/Red as I want to try something not Crinacle tuned, it's cheap looking and fit concerns with the big nozzle.

Does it really matter that much? Probably not, but it would be remiss to ignore that.

Chu's are solid for what they are and highly rated at their under 20 price point.
Aria would be the next step up (currently my daily drivers) . but I love how light the Salnotes are.
