Welcome to the Basshead Club !

 

 

 The topic of this thread will be on everything basshead related including bassy music, basshead gear, etc.


There can never be too much bass

 

 

 

Heres a list of basshead headphones, the idea of these lists was suggested by SoulSyde.

------> An updated version made by Malevolent with a full price list can be found here. <------

Note: Not all of these headphones are worth their retail price, for example, the Beats Pro are generally thought of as $150 - $200 cans

Note2: Not all headphones have the same amount of bass emphasise, it is recommended that you use measurements, reviews and listening to determine whether a headphone has enough bass for you

You could probably count me in. Blame the LCD-2's delicious bass texture.

Count me in!

 

The best bass combo that I've heard so far is an Ultrasone HFI-580 and a Cowon player. It has all the bass I'd ever want, but I wonder how a ZO would sound like in a home rig.

I think I'm a basshead (a moderate one) confused.gif

I sold all my bass light cans such as: Beyer T5p, AKG K701 & K702 & K501 & K271, Audio Technica AD1000 & A2000x.

I recently sold my Ultrasone pro750 because it sounds funny to my ears, but I do acknowledge its bass.

Right now I have the following that I would consider headphones with very good bass: Edition 8, JVC DX1000, Grado GS1000i, Grado RS1 with flat pads. All 4 completely different flavors of bass.

Interesting idea, something like putting the picture of a subwoofer driver in the corner of every basshead's profile picture would be epic.

Or better yet, a custom title underneath our usernames.

 

Basshead Certified or Team Basshead, etc.

That idea is actually brilliant. I'll put a mini treble clef at the corner of my dp someday. bigsmile_face.gif Reminded me of gamers with clan tags.

It's done. Personally I like the name basshead club better than my original title. I'll work on an official club symbol or something like that when I'm free basshead.gif
