Thank you for the suggestions! I'm still on the fence about this, so i'm going to wait a few more days, maybe a week, and see if burning these headphones in some more will help. I get the feeling that I might feel that the bass is anemic because it is much tighter and less boomy as so to speak...

I see. Other than headphones already discussed on this thread, are there any other suitable alternatives under lets say 300 dollars USD?

I have an E10K currently as an amp, but I haven't really seen the need to use it with the x2's since there was no discernable difference to my ears compared to it and the onboard sound I get out of my MSI Gaming M5 Z170 Motherboard, which does have shielded audio, an amp that supposedly can...

hmm. I don't know. A part of me thinks I just haven't gotten used to them since I've had them for maybe a week max. However, it feels like as time went on I feel like they've been lacking more and more bass, but when I do an A and B comparison, it is superior to my Custom one pro's, being...

I recently purchased a pair of X2HR's and they sound very good for Japanese Rock, but when I try and listen to Pop or EDM, the treble from things such as the cymbals and hi-hats hurt my ears slightly. I also get the feeling that the bass is slightly anemic, but that might just be me comming from...

I guess. I just have to get them before the lawsuit between beats and Yamaha closed I suppose.

Thanks Jeff. You are really helpful.

HD439 with bass mod. I opened all three holes. Bass is okay now for it but it sorta muddles everything else. I also brefiely owned a bower and winkins p3 but I had comfort issues so I returned. Never will get on ears again. I also previously owned a pair of hd280 pros, but they where too flat...

after thinking about it, I'll get the v modas. If bass is to heavy, I'll return those and get the sonys. I plan to buy a firefly DAC for the headphones, too.

Please tell me your address and I'll be there shortly. :3 Tell me though, what is your opinion of the m100 and if the headphone under it is the mdr-1r, your opinion on it too. Thanks

Thanks for your two cents. I've always been torn between sound quality and clarity and bass amounts. I though I have found something that would fit both tastes in the m 100's or Sony mdr-1r's but I guess the pro 500s are also a reasonable option too. I'll consider those.

Thanks. Build quality of the m 100s are a strong point,I suppose.

I have but I wound get those. They seem particularly to large. I forgot to mention, but the cans need to be portable as in I can walk around in them, travel, ect.

I'll look them up
