The Basshead Club - Page 332

Wow Oregonian, your a real bass head aren't you xD. Yea I hear great things about teh M Q-40... although I'm more of a Audiophile Head xD I like it all! Seductive mids, airy highs! Deep TIGHT bass, sloppy THUNDEROUS bass xD 

that being said, I like my Xb 700 [modded] and for sub bass NOTHING WILL EVER BEAT IT... you can all go SUCK IT [unless u have a Jvc HX-1000... tha tbeats bx700 but for +$900 <3]

Ehm sorry about that, still I like my Dt 880 250ohm with a little edm as well. That linear bass makes for some nice Eq and amping!

But sheesh, orego. U got quite a collection of bass cans xD. Makes me want the Q Audio :x

Hmmm...I beg to differ. Once I complete the mod I'm doing with my AD900's, I'm willing to bet that they're going to be one of the best headphones out there. Since we're both in SC, we could meet up (or go to the meet in april), but It's going to take a while for me to get my headphones up and running because I have some issues I'm running into (they mailed me a defective driver).

Omg I hate you... you jerk face. Yea I hear the Modded AD 900 is better... and I can belive it [since modding does wonders] but alas I'm to lazy to mod ANTOHER can. Still Tube+Xb 700= YAY. I'm content! Besides I'm more Audiophile than bass head now :[. I actually LIKE my dt 880's linear bass over the Xb 700s BASS CANNON 3/7 days xD

but we could still meet anyways :O I live in Horry County where u at

Next up is the Mr Speakers Mad Dog w/Alpha pads.  Master headphone guru Malveaux has me convinced they are great all around cans and with EQing and amping can be monsters for bass while having all the other audiophile benefits like you mentioned.  I'm migrating towards better and better quality. 

That said, I love all the bass cans in their own way.  How did you modify the XB700's?  

The Q-40 are a clear step up from XB700's overall but can't quite match the sub bass of XB's.

yea as I said b4, Tube amp +xb 700=epic. The mod was simple. There's was a film that was sufficateing the bass on the driver in the xb700. Remove that film and open the driver up= better quality, no more sibilant highs and a little more depth.

An yea the Mod Dog t50RP is a poor mans LCD2 <.<. Not sure I have $300 to drop into that right now e.e Trying to get a Dt 990 Pro first as I REALLY want that can :O. I love my dt 880 for bass even though it's the linear 250 ohm version... I can only imagine the hot tight bass sex that is the dt 990s :D

No not at all, I use about +13 respectivly. My Indeed G3 has a hardware +8 boost to bass and I eq about +5 in foobar [eq dwn ofc]

An no not hfi 780 bass im sure...although I've never heard an ultrasone can so I can't relate... still i enjoy the boost I get... and... DMNIT I don't want to buy a NEW dt 990 and I want a ODAC q.q... but that to is EXPENSIVE grr.

Nice, I'm still on the fence with gettins a DAC... I want the O Dac and I might get one  used for a nice deal... it all depends. And then there's the Dt 990s e.e I lost my CHEAP seller so I'm stuck having to look for a pair or go in new e.e.

I'd get spend happy if not for my stupid car needing so much work -.-... oh well I got a raise at work so in 2 weeks xD I might bit at some Alpha dogs my self

let us know how they are! Although... I'm not a big fan of closed cans that need a good bit of eq and amping [since I only really used closed cans on the go when I need isolation xD] 

why are people selling their m-100 already? theres people on ebay selling them for 200$???

No single headphone will appeal perfectly to everyone, no matter how "good" they are (I say "good" because when you think about it, what's really "good" sound, what's good to you might not be good to another person). Then there's both sonical aspects and ergonomical, durability, appearence aspects etc. and people prioritize differently.

In short, this hobby is very complex really when you truly start to dig into the audiological physiology as I call it which is such an overlooked aspect.

Uh...only one person is selling it at 205, and that's a bid with 3 days left. The cheapest I can find one is Amazon, which sells them used at around 255-$280.

still that bid has been on for like 4 days and yet it only has 2 bids

If you know how ebay bidders work, they wait until the last day or so to really start bidding. It'll snowball, trust me.
