Sony MDR-7506 - Page 6

Dear all,

I recently bought an Sony MDR 7506. A friend of mine has one and I’ve listened to it a few times and really liked it.

Now after listening to it for a few days I have my doubts about the bass. It’s not as deep and dominant as I thought it would be. I compared it to my sennheiser hd 201 and that one has a real dominant bass.

Is there a way to make the bass louder or more dominant? I only use the headphone on my iPod. There are pre-sets in EQ on the iPod and I put the bass as loud as possible and the treble as soft as possible.

Still it is not good enough. :-(

Does anyone has any advice for me? Or is there no way to make the bass more dominant?

Cheers!

the Sony is definitely not as bassy headphone....But, it can get much better bass on a proper home receiver, or headphone amp with bass boost. It will never reach XB500/XB700 type of bass.
