Hello, I just bought a D1100 and I'm looking for a portable amp mainly for more bass punch. (yes seriously lol) I was considering maybe the E9 or E11 or maybe something from iBasso?   Budget is $110 or less   I already have a gamma 1 DAC that I'd be using it with on my netbook.  ...

Thanks for all of the suggestions. I heard about how M2 was great for the price and I never read the full review until now and it sounds like pretty much exactly what I wanted, but the E-Q5 does too. I'm maybe leaning towards trying out the M2 first and seeing how satisfied I am with it since...

Hey. I've been looking into IEM's simply because I never bought any real quality ones before and I often feel they'd be useful to have for certain situations. Most genres I listen to are J-pop, K-pop, Classical, Trance, and Metal. (lol) (that's why it's hard for me to decide)   So far I have...

Edit: Solved

Quote: Haha, sorry. I'm just a little paranoid for the reason I listed in my previous post. I'll go with them then, thank you.   EDIT: To answer your question from before, I'll make sure to get them from a japanese seller. I actually looked on amazon.co.jp. There are 16 different...

Thanks for all of the replies so far I've learned a lot and it has helped my research.   Just to reiterate, I'm looking for hps for mostly techno/jpop. My "complaint" with my current (HD555 with foam removed) is that there just isn't enough bass. I'm not really a "basshead," but I just want...

Leaning towards ES10 or GMP 8.35. GMP can be easily found on Amazon but with ES10 I'd have to wait / look around for a used one. I really like how they look though, maybe I'll get lucky and find a good deal   EDIT: Found ES10's for close to my price range somewhere.. Just need to wait a week...

Quote: How are these compared to the HD600/650? Are these the best I can get without amping?

Quote: Thanks, I took off the 70x as I listen to all of them pretty equally. It looks like the best thing to do is to find a good deal for the AD2000 due to the amp situation with the dt880 / 990

Well I compared all of the numbers and had the HD595 tab open as well as the others in my list and it looks like these would be the best actually :   http://www.headphonereviews.org/headphone/Beyerdynamic/DT990+%282005%29   I'm not sure how reliable that site is though, is that specific...

Quote: Oh cool, thanks. Well I am interested in these, but do you know a few that are similar to the AD2000  but are more readily available near my price range? I don't have all of my cash yet but when I do I'm probably going to want to upgrade within a few days instead of waiting around...

Quote: Where did you find them so cheap?

Quote: Don't have an AMP/DAC yet but I'll be getting a gamma-1 and mini 3 soon probably. I noticed after doing the 595 mod on my HD555's that I just felt more bass so let's say on a scale of 1-10 the 555's modded have a bass of 5, i'd rather have a 7.5

  From researching I noticed many people saying the K701 was bass light compared to the SA5000   Quote:

Currently own HD555, looking at either   SA5000 DT880 HD 650 HD 600   Looking for more bass than HD555   mostly for female vocals, speed, techno, bass   from my research it looks like SA5000 would be the best so far   thanks
