Cks77 still remains ahead of the cks1000 for now. More burn in taking place. If you are willing to venture outside the CKS's I have to recommend the fxz200 these are magnificent.

You should post that question on Tyll's youtube channel. He has videos on both. His review of the Noontec was very positive.

Seems the best bets so far are Digizoid ZO2 and Fiio E11. How about the C&c BH/BK?
Any others? Thanks!

I just recently ordered the vmoda m80s and I'm now currently waiting for them to arrive.. Some of you are saying they aren't really "basshead" phones, and that's fine, but I'm wondering which portable would best help it become closer to a Basshead/fun headphone?

So any of my fellow bassheads can speak to the difference between the DT770 versions 32 & 80 ohm as far as bass depth? Not sure which I want to get.

E11 pairs well with M-80. Their bass is already somewhat boomy, so I think the Z02 would be overkill even as a basshead. Also, the E11 has excellent bass boost.

The M-80 sounds better with an E11. In fact, for me, the M-80 sounds most fun for EDM with a Bass & Treble boost via EQ, and then bass boosting it with an E11 at Bass Level 2.

I had the M80 paired with a E11 + Zip for a long time. Very good combo.

My perspective since I just got Mad Dogs - they are not basshead phones AT ALL.
