M100 or Lp2 are darker sounding and bass is deeper but without an amp some details in mids-highs are lost while pro500 sound more detailed without amp and how I said bass response is faster and hit a bit more. But usually I use my amp for all my headphones and I prefer M100 than yamaha because...

I never auditioned pro400 but owned the pro500 years ago. It's a good option unamped, these yammys have good sound signature with good presence and detail with mids-highs, bass is tight and hit faster than LP2. If I compare my pro500 Vs M100 amped as an example then 500 hit harder and...

Some Sony headphones mentioned above are very far to be considered bassheads, even if anyone can't stay without cry with minimum amplification, but can be good in other terms and in comfort for me.

Clear Bass from Walkman app in negatives values (-2 in my situation with specific Iem's and a portable amp high gain bass boost on with Eq down and highs upper but on the negative side too on my rooted Dap). Best clean bass in terms of quantity/quality and I know that some of you can think it's...

In reality Atlas have the same amount of Bass than Polaris v2, but Atlas are the TOTL CA basshead audiophile Iem's if someone isn't angry because like a little pervy that I am I decide to try to marry bassheads with audiophiles. And yes here it's all about bass but must audition both.

Yes I mean that if you use a non very good sounding dac phone like my S8, UAPP it's better with a portable dac or dac-amp via USB cable. But with a good dac phone like what you mention with Hiby you doesn't need to change nothing using jack output. Neutron audio quality yes...it's good best...

Hph pro 500 good sounding headphones with specially a good and fast clean hitting bass. I owned this, response well with EQ, but are too huge on the head for me, so he never saw the streets. :D

I I made use of Poweramp, foobar2k, player pro, Usb player pro, Neutron MP, Aimp, Hiby and Onkyo HF as the best sounding music players (from much more options) with my Fiio Dap and S8 with USB audio cable and balanced for IEM's with and without portable amp. I choosed Onkyo HF paid version (a...

Basshead headphones seems in danger of extinction, so if anyone know a new alternative I'm all ears ;)

I use Foobar2k with an Audigy 5/rx with bit perfect enabled in the control panel. The soundcard connected to Denon AV receiver. My setup is a 2.1, two polk bookshelf S10e and svs sb-1000. Tryied Jriver in the past. Musicbee is nice too and easier to configure the UI vs foobar. There isn't too...

In the past I bought the Sony Xb 950. It's good if you want bass without a portable amp. The Electric Bass exciter button only works in bluetooth. But I doesn't like how response, for me isn't good sounding bass compared with other cans even without an amp. Amp's are cheap, and worth it. A good...

Yes you are right and It's a bit similar with big cans like M100 with only an amp then are less dark, mids with more presence and treble shine a bit more and the soundstage is a bit wider. So then with a good Dap that can output well in balanced with good sounding Iem's can improve even more...

My little cheap brick <3 nobody gives a care if it's a small bomb until I play loud the big cans...then most refined ladies look to me like I'm ill. Only Audiophiles can judge me

Some time ago tested my Polaris v2 via balanced cable (from Fiio F9). Last week without portable amp, only high gain on Dap. The most pronounced improvements are in soundstage, even more spacious, treble more crisp and vocals more clear while keeping the same punch and low bass powah even if...

CA Polaris v2 must be on this list, I'm an owner and have some other Iem's. Polaris v2 with my E12 that can handle without problems wihtout hiss at half volume, high gain, bass boost, eq only decreasing mids pre-amp (Eq up it's the worst when you have better quality, at least for me) and even...
