Thank you for all your input. I had the etymotic 6i, and they didn't have any bass (IMO)... They rolled off at about oh... 200hz and at a 4th order crossover... they were that bad. I am totally willing to change my mind, 180* flip if there are some relatively cheap IEMs that have bass, or can...

I know this is comparing apples to oranges. But very simple question really, if you've heard the DT 770, ATH-Pro700, AKG K81, ATH-J5 etc... some really bass laden big stomping cans. Is there an IEM that can match that? I mean, even rumbly if I crank it... without of course destroying my ears...

I don't know when counterfeiting exploded... I thought they were just propaganda on the signs in the subways about it being "bad" for us... but it's crazy how much these things have come into North America, I can't remember anything like this when I was growing up... not that we'd really know...

Normally when the question is "normal" or "full" it means a roll off of frequencies below a certain frequency so they don't try to reproduce things they can't... Read it as "do you have crappy i-buds and should I limit the bass for you? Or would you like to get no processing (full)...

The AKG K271 will need an amp to have enough volume, and they lack bass. If you like bass, skip these. I have them, they're great, comfortable, I love them, but only when EQed and have some sort of bass boost. I just got the Audio Technica ATH-Pro700 closed, and love them, although they have...

Yeah, I think there was a misunderstanding. I have the real ones and I got them from Audio Cubes this morning... I even put up a positive review in their section of the forum! I've followed Audio cubes for YEARS, and it was crazy cool they just opened a store up here in NYC a few weeks ago...

This is a story of me looking for another pair of headphones for the daily subway commute. I listen to primarily techno, Paul Van Dyk, Armin Van Buuren etc... I have a set of AKG K271 studio monitors right now, and although they're comfortable and clear, they're just bass shy, and they are...

Apparently these are the Japanese versions: audio-technicabATH-PRO700 The American Version is silver: Audio-Technica - Microphones, headphones, wireless microphone systems, noise-cancelling headphones & more : ATH-PRO700 SV : Professional Monitor Headphones

Ironically, I just bought a pair today at Audio Cubes Store in NYC... The jacks are nickel plated (says so on the box)... sound is pretty good to me! Bag is black with Audio Technica logo on it... sorry forgot to get a pic, if you need another, let me know. Click to enlarge, pictures all...

bingo. couldn't have said it better... I can only hope that stores like J&R grow, they can compete with best buy often, but also have some of the higher end, like AKG, some ATH, Grado... This happens with pretty much ALL retail stores these days though, clothes, electronics, cell phones...

It's already up on craigslist, but I don't have enough posts to sell it here (so I won't say any further on the matter). I've already got my heart set on visiting the new Audio Cubes store in NYC, they have some nice DJ style folding phones, so hopefully I'll pick some up sooner than later!

So I got a Best Buy gift card from my thoughtful company, thinking I would normally shop there... But their selection of headphones is atrocious! I was hoping to find even some mid grade Sonys in particular the MDR-V700DJ which was my favorite comfort wise, even though the reviews have been...

I'm pleased with my first set of headphones, the AKG K271s with a little 9v (x2) amp, but I'm getting tired of tossing 9v batteries, and looking for a few more features. I need some reccomendations, after reading all the reviews, just some more suggestions really... Specifically, the...

I just got John's Cmoy Bass Boost clone today also, and it definetly is a major improvement over non-amped for my AKG K271. I seem to have a bit different layout, without the volume knob, enough room such that I can stick another 9v battery in series, which I'm going to attempt tomorrow. I...
