Which headphones have the most BASS?

Take some rope

Buy some subwoofers

Buy a couple amps

Screw amps to subwoofers, connect via cables

Tie wubwoofers/amps to head.

Plug into wall

Take Source

Press play

Enough Bass?

Really, anything under $350 will not give you bass.

Get Pro750/900

Then get a Cowon. Set Jeteffect, lowest level to 80hz at narrow and level 12. Set mach bass to 10. Lower all other levels.

Attach Cowon to Amp/DAC with EQ. FiiO E7 for example. Boost the bass as high as it will go, drop everything else.

Also, other examples of good bassy headphones:

MDR-V6. Little Eqing reaches lower bass levels

T50RP - modded. Good amount of boom with great detail. See my modded in my signature for this.

LCD-2 - same as above.

Ultrasone period

IEM's seem really bass when they are tuned for it.

Top bass IEM: Senn IE8

I also EQ my Brainwavz M1's to bass for good use

JVC HAFX1X Ftw!! Earphones that will surprise you like you wouldn't believe. The headphones kinda not so good but the smaller portable HAS4X sounds better of the 2..

Sony MDR-XB1000 are most likely to give you most quantity of impactful bass. Very big cups. Very big drivers. Sensitive. Can be pushed. Not the most accurate or tuneful. Under $300. Try those, instead of XB700.

Also, unless you have really low impedance output and a bit of driving power, your headphones are likely to suffer a fall-off at lowe bass frequencies, esp. when you start to EQ them.

You cannot get this from HPs IMO.  You need to physically feel the bass impact your body to get this effect.

Have you actually heard the XB1000? It does not have high impact bass.

If he is disappointed with the bass impact of Ultrasones he might as well give up on headphones right now or look into IEMs.

I excuse you.

My MDR-V6 is making my chest rumble at the moment.

Slightly dark receiver to BASS EQ setting and to V6.

My Name is Mud by Primus. Screw that, Pork Soda Album by Primus. Man, bow vs bass guitar kills me everytime.

Maybe your source isn't to good?

The 'club effect' is too much bass, who cares about the rest of the spectrum. In addition have you ever been to a club, sat down and listened to the music... or are you always intoxicated and jumping around? I think if you actually listened to club speakers in a 'home setting' you wouldn't be very impressed. Either buy the Sony XB500s and have a couple of drinks every time you listen in addition to spinning around on your chair, or make a compromise.

LOL, unfortunately I have never had any HPs do this and even if they did it wouldn't satisfy the basshead in me that wants to feel it my toes.  Seriously, it sounds like OP wants to feel the sound waves impacting the body and I haven't found HPs truly capable of this.  It just is not the same IMHO.  If I wanna feel bass I play old skool DJ Magic Mike in my car...

You want a subwoofer, not headphones.

Do yourself a favor before you damage your hearing permanently.

We've seen this many times. People either want the following:

Bass to equal their car's subwoofers's

Soundstage to match their speakers

Gamers wanting more then stereo sound.

Their "perfect" headphones

Comfortable IEM's

Comfortable On ears

Comfortable Fullsized

EDIT: Good looks and sound

All these are dreams that cannot be produced from a headphone

Don't mind me here:

Lying from you, Linkin Park. Awesome bass articulation

Headphones will always be a compromise.
