Personally the Monster Turbines are well worth the money and provides lots of bass for an IEM.

For full sized headphones, the Sony XB700 or 500 are not bad. Skip the 300. I like my 500 but I think 700 provides even more bass. SUPER COMFORTABLE but it's extremely large and doesn't look good if you'll be walking in the streets with them.

Also, a set budget or estimate could always help.

I purchased the Beyerdynamic DT-770s for electronic music... and they definitely provide that big-rig sub-woofer sensation that one looks for when trying to emulate the nightclub/festival experience on headphones.

Whats your budget?

If you're low on budget, Denon 1001k and DT770/80ohm pro might suit you well.

The new Shure headphone also had pretty nice bass

AKG K518, Audio Technica ESW9 (Germania mod)link:http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f103/g...-mod-s-383257/, Denon D2000, D5000, D7000, Ultrasone Edition 9 and 8.

IEMs: UE11 Pro, or any custom molded IEM should give you good bass response.

If you have no budget then, yes, L3000.

If you're willing to pay and crazy like me, L3000 no question about it. Their bass production will eat your heart out. Might not be suitable for everyone but a bass head's heaven.

what the heck throw in the sennheiser HD 800 for good measures. As for me my KOSS UR40s are the most heavy bass headphones I currently own. I think they hit pretty hard. But that's just me.

Haha some crazy responses here. I'm guessing as he listed a few suggestions under $100 that's his limit.

dultsi I suggest you listen to the XB series in a Sony store, see if it's to your liking and then buy them online from Amazon for $50. I have the XB500 and think there very good with a little EQ.

Ultrasones HFI-780s give me unbelievable bass when I'm in the mood for it but they are closed and I don't know if this will meet your criteria. Also the Senn HD650 with the correct amp...thinking gilmore lite...bass monsters!
