Hey guys, my headphones (hfi 580's) have alot of punchy bass to them and i prob wont upgrade soon but i was just wondering, are there any headphones out there that sound like that?
 
I keep getting jealous when i get into a car with a decent sound system :/

Huh, I always felt my headphones (basslight T-70 and HD650) had better bass than my car with a 10" sub.

o.o
 
I felt that my xb500's were basslight compared to subs.

Must be different taste, you're looking for that car rattling non-musical bass power?

 

[sloomingbla]

Pretty much. and i am VERY satisfied with my headphones, i was just wondering if there are any headphones that can recreate that.
 
Basically, recreate the IMPACT, if only there were some headphones that could create bass impact, without so much bass :3

Denon D2000's has some VERY impressive bass.  And this is coming from someone who use to have a 12" Rockford Fosgate T1 power sub in 2.5L vented enclosure tuned to 35 hz with 1000 RMS amp inside an Eclipse hatchback.

Try Sony pulse elite

I've heard of the denons, and i was considering the pro 900's as an upgrade for a while.
 
can anyone else say anything about them vs some subs?

What kind of subwoofer in cars? Different subs deliver different bass and sound.
 
I like mine tight, fast with a good punch that you can literally feel. The feel part is difficult to replicate I believe in headphones. ( If you know one that does...without destroying my hearing...please let me know too)
 
Closest thing so far is wooduos 2. With the correct tips and good fit(important) on some songs you can really feel the bass. I like this IEM for its ability to deliver the different subbass, Quite impressive.
 
Ps to me bass...real subbass....cant be heard. just felt and measured.
 
PPS the wooduo volume must be put on HIGH.

sub =12 inches

headphone = 50mm

lol ^
 
i'm talking about any sub. even some nice 5" subs would hit me harder than my headphones.
 
last resort? hook it up to both my headphones and subwoofer at the same time...

When I was younger, I found a little store that sold "VIBRATING HEADPHONES" that would detect anything under, say, 120 hz, and would vibrate accordingly. It wouldn't just be a binary "ON" or "OFF", either. It would change it's intensity depending on the volume/amount of bass. How silly!

(A guilty little part of me wishes I still had them)

Basically what was already said.  
 
sub = 12 inches
headphones = 50mm
 
You need to move lots of air to have your body resonate along with the bass.  Headphones only move enough air to apply some pressure in the small chamber of your ear, only your ear will feel a slight pressure.  If you want your head to vibrate, you need headphones with actual vibrators in them, or a headphone with a frame so fragile that it vibrates itself (beats)

 

[sloomingbla]

*sigh* meaning that the only way to feel the bass is to get crappy headphones.
 
No.
 
lol

You could get a major rattle, but the eq'ing needed to be done would not produce a nice sound at all. Did a experiment with a DT770 80 ohm and a E11 with 1 on the eq settings and a heavy setting Sony Walkman. My head was rattling a lot, constantly, but no way would you want to listen to such a bloat of bass on a headphone, horrible.
