IMO,  THE M-100 IS THE BEST SOUNDING BASSHEAD-CALIBRE HEADPHONE AVAILABLE TODAY FOR UNDER $300.

Ok! I will try then again! About comfort, do you wear specs?

I don't subscribe to the belief that burning in cans will result in a drastic change in sound, and I believe the M-100's bass quantity isn't going to disappear.

You may want to ask the team at Stereo to provide you with an E11 or ZO2.3 when auditioning the M-100. Try to boost the bass and see if you like the sound then. Good luck!

Wait the denon dxxx series are lacking in Midbass???? Dang I gotta go try all of ten again.

The yklee118 post about the beats pro (which he calls beats professional) seems to intrigued me- Soundstage as spatial as the Ultrasone edition line, that's gotta be something!

Going back to stereo try all over again. I believe that burning in actually help, yklee118 burned in the pros for 600hrs++, I think that's why nobody heard their true sound

I don't wear glasses, so you may want to pose the question regarding comfort with glasses on the M-100 thread.

 

I wouldn't get too excited about the one impression that compares Beats PRO to Ultrasone Signature.  For most headphones, I look at collective reviews to determine some type of consensus, also reviews from reviewers where I have liked similar headphones so that I know we have similar taste/hear music similarly.  I periodically listen to the Beats PRO for comparison purposes at Best Buy, so if they do benefit from burn-in, they would have logged significant hours on their demo models that run non-stop based on their setup.  The Beats PRO has some seriously powerful bass, but the mids and highs just sound "rough" and unnatural to me.  Plus, they are the heaviest headphones I have ever worn.

Yes, but I don't think any demo set is burned in for 600 plus hours! Anyways, i would head down to the store one day and test out every god damn headphones that are recommended by headfiers, the salesperson and my instinct! And I am goin to purchase that god damn headphone: Here is my current TO-AUDITION LIST: Beats Pro, Beats Mixr, Denon D600/5000/7000/7100, M 100, Senns IE80, Westone 3. Oops I Juz realized why I have not purchased one yet, waiting for the pro 500, Yamaha. Hmmm.... I will just have to go down to te store and pick my fav. Oh yeah, any thoughts on the Skullcandy MMM?

I'm pretty sure you'll forget about the burn-in after 600 hours. After what I went through trying to repair my AD900s (went through 4 drivers to get it to sound properly), I pretty much convinced that burn-in is a placebo effect. Aside from the internal defects, all of them sounded the same, and the original drivers had around 150hrs of "burn-in". I also read somewhere that with some silver cable you have to wait around 600-1000hrs for it to burn in completely...I think not. Unless these people golden ears that can hear gamma rays, I don't think someone's going to say, "Hmmm, after listening to these headphones for 600 hours, I believe that the sonic fidelity of the drivers have finally reached their peak."

For me, they definitely are a basshead can. They may not have a huge mid-bass slam or greater sub-bass rumble than some of the big hitters, but the M-100 certainly delivers a good, bass-oriented sound.

The D2000 is not a headphone that I would consider strong in mid-bass. The bass in general is certainly attenuated to provide greater "oomph", but it is nowhere near a mid-bass heavy headphone. I felt the same with the D5000 and the D7000.

 

If you want to try a mid-bass oriented headphone, you can audition the Crossfade LP2, Crossfade M-100, PRO700MK2, HFI 580.

+1 So there isn't any high end (d5k price range) bass head can where the bass is really there and prominent and hits hard when needed while the mids and highs are really good?

I actually thought they hit hard! Maybe I am not a bass head, lol I am truly confusing myself now but I love bass, epic......

Jus wanted to share experience when I paired a z02.3 with a beats pro at stereo and it truly was subwoofer strapped to the head type of bass! No Kid, I think if you double amp them all you can hear is bass.

Hi, I'm looking for a bass headphone for listening to EDM. Budget is around $150, and I am deciding between crossfade LP(1) and m80. Q40 and XB series are out of the question as they are black-colored and they get really hot on my ears. I would prefer headphones with white-colored variation. Any suggestions would be welcomed. Thanks.

What about Beyerdynamic DT770pro? I think they are around 150$ these days.

For cans, there are a few headphones that produce a lot of bass - Sony's XB series, V-MODA'S Crossfade LP/LP2, Reloop's RHP-10/20, JVC's Xtreme Xplosives series, and even the Beats models. Of course, quality greatly varies with this lot.

It's not about color. It's about the material. Q40 is some of the least sweat-inducing headphones I've used (about the only very good thing about this particular low quality pleather which I've also had experience with with cheap Sennheiser headphones, it just doesn't make your ears sweat!), I wear them for hours without getting hot ears. M80 or LP1 makes your ears warmer, I had the LP2 and my ears got sweaty in about 1 hr.

For me, the D2000 has punchy bass and delivers a relatively clean bass presentation. It is not a mid-bass heavy can, though. For example, the M-100 has greater mid-bass than the D2000. I still don't know why the staff at Stereo mentioned that they are a neutral headphone.
