Hi

 

i'm back on the market for some portable headphones and as a bass junkie i recently tested some XB500s and loved them, my question is are there any portable headphones with a comparable level of bass but not as big the size of them is off putting plus my head is big enough as is.

 

budget is £60/$90, looking for preferable closed cans

 

if they are available to the UK that would be a great help too

 

Any recommendations are appreciated

 

Thanks

Koss KSC75/Porta Pro with a Sansa Clip+ with manual gain on the bass EQ band. Add a FiiO E11 (E3 works too, but E11 is just so much better). Also try the Audio Technica ES7 with the same source and amp. I would say the ES7 is slightly better than the XB500 in terms of bass (not out the box but with EQ)

What about 50 pairs of iBuds?

I've got no experience with portable amps but for the record I do have a Sansa Fuze which has rockbox. I'll look into those Koss headphones though

any others?
