the bass isnt really strong at all, most people place them on their desk because it just isnt powerful enough to feel when placed on the floor.  as far as sound goes it really does help fill out the bottom registers, they're probably going to put out more bass than the micca bookshelfs you're...

just came in to say, if your volume pot ever gets crackly, before you go out to buy a can of deoxit or something similar, try turning your pot all the way left to right, back and forth about 20 to 30 times to clear out any dust etc.     that crackling was driving me crazy, i thought it was my...

Ahhh, thanks to the both of you, I was afraid I would have to spend the same or more I did on the speakers just to get the, to interface with my gear, thanks for the quick response from you 2

I just bought some yamaha hs5 studio monitors and I need a way for them to interface with my grant fidelity tubedac 11 (dac/amp combo) which only have rca outs. They offer line level out, solid state and tube outs all via RCA but my speakers can on,y take xlr or trs What's the best way for me...

I'm late I know but tilting them is exactly what I would have suggested lol As far as everything else, my ears are wierd, i use the smallest hook on my right ear and tilt the earphones back while twisting the clasp I guess inwardly, on the other ear i use the medium hook, still tilt them back...

4 years late but maybe this will help someone down the road. There's a Chinese made headphone remote control that plugs into the pspgo dock for audio, I haven't tested it out yet to see if it truly bypasses the amp to give you line out but i hint it does. I plan on hooking it up my digizoid and...

m50's will probably last you longer in the end. i've had 3 pairs of xb500's and always end up blowing a driver on them

I've blown out the drivers on 3 separate pairs of xb500's while amping them Word of caution my friend.

No offense but the last thing in the world you would want to recommend a basshead is a pair of grado anythings Grado's are known the world over for their treble, the highs (often strident highs depending on who's telling the story) bass is not exactly a priority with grados especially in the...

I have the xb1000 and believe me when I say that if sub bass is what you want sub bass is what you will get. Make sure you have an amp, 70 mm drivers aren't all that easy o drive out of an iPhone This set is perfect for uk based dubstep like emalkay and loefah which focus more on the lower...

Avoid the m50's theyre not real basshead phones, also the xb1000's are sub bass focused, they have probably the most sub bass you can get out of a headphone but theyre all rumble no slam, same with lcd-2's My suggestion is get the ath pro-700's mkII and either keep em stock or switch them out...

before i suggest anything, you have an amp right? 

  how much does the bass differ from the th-900 to the lcd-2? i kno you have both but i've never seen anyone speak on it   also how different is the bass between the th-900 & the th-600?

You tend to get better results when double amping the zo2 if the amp comes first in the chain after the iPod line out and then from there use headphone out to zo2 on high gain. Only way it seems to avoid distortion

Jesus, +20 gain on your m stage? Why so much?

I just recently purchased 2 m robe 100's, one of them works perfect but im stuck with the music on it since i can't find the proprietary software (m trip) to load and unload music on it anywhere online. The other m robe i had to completely wipe so its blank, i can't get rockbox on it without...

Lol oh was that you? Yeah I guess it was me, I think you were the only one who had them on these boards and was considering letting them go Sucks for me i guess

I have the leather band and bamboo lcd2's, also have a custom cable thats pretty thick and doesn't flex much which probably doesn't help much. To add to what I said earlier and what ome people are beginning to echo in this thread, i usually sit in a recliner when i listen to music or if on my...

From what I've read the beyer 770's 80 ohm version have the most bass and would probably best suit your needs, the dt1350's might also be something to look at

My problem is not that they're heavy but that the way the weight is distributed is terrible. The entire time theyre on im fully aware that theyre on because im never truly 100% comfortable, all the weight is on my ears and side of head but feel nothing on top through the band. I would almost...

The xb1000's have more sub bass than any other in the xb line, more so than even the LCD 2 even, but it oesnt really have that mid bass punch that the xb500 and othe bass oriented headphones have. Songs like cookie monsta's ginger pubes or dead prez hip hop which have long rumbling bass lines...

I dont know how portable some of you guys would consider the o2 but that has more than enough power to drive my lcd2's for a couple of hours on high gain

At that price its going to be rough, check the buy/sell forum and hope to get lucky with some used k501's in bad but working condition

Quote: yup. this is very true.     buy one now while you can still get them at a reasonable price, they're discontinued.     word to the wise, if you do end up getting these, be careful with how you amp them and eq them. I've owned 3 separate pairs and I've blown out the drivers...

Quote: While youre entitled to your opinion, I also remember you being the only person on this site (or anywhere else really) to describe them as such     "bright" is the last word i would use to describe them
