Thumping, Heavy bass headphones under $100 | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

-xX-Mew-Xx- · Feb 1, 2013 at 4:30 PM

I've been looking for bass heavy headphones for a month and I need some help. I cant spend more then 100. I dont mind if the bass messes up the meds and highs. Thanks.

The Sony MDR-V6's can be found regularly for sub-$100 and would scratch your bass-itch.

Koss Ruk50 - pick a color.

dsound - you're the first person I've heard describe the V6 as a basshead headphone.

Uhm, xb500/700 has lots of bass I personally haven't tried them though.

Bassiest headphones I've ever heard (in my limited experience), and they're perfect if you don't mind them barreling through the mids/highs. Any sony store should have them available for auditioning.

Sears sells some fashion phones, nakamichi over ear style. I picked up a pair, they have bar none the most bass of any headphone I have ever heard. I equalized the lows down as far as they would go, -12db, and they still were very bass forward. Other than that, they sound like $15 headphones, not bad but not very good either. Still, they were a lot better than Beats for what they are, basically a head mounted subwoofer made of shiney plastic

While I have a soft spot for the MDR-v6 I would hardly call them bass heavy. They instead do bass well, crisp and extended. Not very big, but not boomy because of it

Hey guys! Thanks ! But now i have got bassy headphones, i have noticed that they ruin the rest of the track so could you suggest headphones that focus on bass but have beautiful mids and highs

I am new to headphones so choosing headphones with tons of bass wasnt the greatest idea... btw , my price range is under 200 now!

The SoundMAGIC HP100 is the most balanced closed-back headphone in that price range, so look at some reviews for that. The Beyerdynamic DT 770 has a bit more of an emphasis on bass, but it is a lot harder to drive and sounds a bit worse in general.

Could we try a little closer to 100 and closed back.

The SoundMAGIC that I listed basically destroys anything within $100 of its price range and it is closed back. I strongly recommend that you stay with them, you will be far more impressed with this set than you would with something that is say, $50 cheaper.

If you REALLY want to save the money, I guess you could go for the Ultrasone HFI-780 or the Audio Technica ATH-M50 (I'd take the 780) or something similar.
