It lacks the warmth of a denon the bass is tight and punchy but slightly ever laid back. It laks te opened of a hd650 oh well. Seems like in gonna get the d7k

EDIT: The sound quality is great, but it isn't to my sonic signature.

Yeah, based on their response I was worried the peak (i think it was between 3-4khz) to make them sound a bit hard. However, I like darker headphones too.

You may want to read some other reviews or listen to them for yourself. They are smooth as silk to my ears. Some reviewers have even said they are TOO smooth.  I'm not saying he didn't hear what he heard, but his description doesn't really match up with any other impressions I've seen. When he said the Bass was "laid back" I had to wonder if we were listening to the same headphone. I mean, everyone is welcome to their opinion, but I'd look at the overall ratings and not put too much faith in one person's opinion (including mine).  Not everyone hears things the same way... or describes things in the same way.

Sorry if I mislead anyone. I like dark-warm-bassy cans, which sound clear, detailed and open. The Si DJ is a GREAT Hp in SQ, I just don't like the sonic signature(I prefer the lushness of the HD650/Denon Dxxx/LCD-2).
It is a great can I repeat again just not to my sonic signature!

Okay. I understand that a lot better. They definitely aren' what I'd call dark, and I also expected more Bass, similar in scope to the Q40s. These are more like the Pro 900's Bass, but with a deeper bottom end. I think I"m happy with the level they chose though. I've EQ'd them up for more and I always end up turning it back down because it messes with the balance with the Vocals.

Panda San used to roam around here to but psh he's done and gone left us q.q

 

non the less, I like the bass on my w1000x BUT I like my TIGHT leaner bass on the Dt 880 and 990 respectivly. So for me, I might dig the sig pro if it's a very lean and clean kinda amp! 

 

I'm not too to crazy about OMG WARM cans, the Mad Dog was to warm for me, and the w1000x, is just right <3. But while it's bass has a nice blend of lush and tight, it's still not open can bass, so no me gusta 

:D I am here at long last.

Panda mk III at your service.

Tight as in more refined?

Glad you're content with the w1000x!

oh, ok :3 

Oh my gosh! I totally forgot to say this. When I was auditioning some "high-end" cans, I was amazed by the D7100 bass. The d7.1k isn't liked here (headfi) because of the overwhelming bass, but since no amount of bass is too much for us, those who got some cash to spare for high-end bassy closed (actually isolating unlike their previous line) which actually sound good ( comparing to other closed cans). Just some info: It isn't exactly very warm (which is how I like it), but I'm considering to give these hps a shot because of its oh all so awesome bass.....
 

Well-to-do headfiers outdo who are craving for bass and want some isolation and want good sound (even out of an ipod), the d7.1k should be on your list!

I have not heard the D7100, but did briefly own the D600 which uses the same driver and has a similar sound.  I felt the bass was like orthos where is it present, but there is just no punch.  They didn't reproduce that club or home theater experience where you feel the air moving from the bass like you do with the Sig DJ, M-100, Q40 or other dynamic, punch basshead cans.

Yes, those are a hurricane. The D600/D7100 is a seabreeze.
