Hi, i have the Denon c300 in earphones for some time now and i am wondering is there anything newer that has better sound quality and more bass than these? They do sound go through but i am now looking for something better that is a next step up.

Hi, i own a fiio e18 amplifier pared up with a android phone and it sound great using the DAC feature on the amp. Now i always wanted an Nokia n91 but with this technology in this day and age does it still beat the sound quality against a dac such as the fiio e18. I just want to purchase the...

Hi all, i own a pair of Denon c300 iems and the bass on them sound really deep and punchy at low volume levels from my fiio e11 amplifier. But when i increase the volume level on the amp, the higher i go the more bloated and muddy the bass gets on these iems. Are these iem generally bloated when...

Your English is great! I greatly consider your suggestions :-)

  That means less weight to carry around with you too!

Thanks for your suggestions, i will have a look into the PRO700MK2 to see if its worthy.

Yep a Fiio e11 amplifier

Any more suggestions people?

Quote: An amplifier is certainly required to get the most out of the 70mm drivers used in the XB1000. Due to the drivers being so large for headphones, they require lots of power to work to their full potential. Its seems you were powering them from a mp3 player of some sort without a...

Quote: Overtime, listening off your ipod or laptop will not satisfy your needs and you will require more...........what you need is a amp.

Definitely the fiio e5, its the smallest sized amplifier in the fiio amplifier range. But if you are after more power and a bigger bass boost, then the fiio e11 is the better one.

Quote:  Yep i EQ my xb500, but still looking for more bass!

Quote: Thanks for the suggestion i will look into them

Quote: Great suggestions, but the XB1000 are hard to get hold of these days!

Quote: I will check out the Sony and JVC iems because i am more into subwoofer bass.

Quote:  Just vibrations but no loud bass with the Sony pulse, well i am actually looking for loud DB levels as well as vibrations?

Quote: You have a point, its a shame that Sony discontinued the XB500.

Quote: Well, i hope you find a cheaper alternative. If you be patient on the forum you might come across somebody that can modify them for you. Good luck!

Sony XB500 mate! Great thumping bass making them ideal for rap music and dupstep. They are also very comfy to ware thanks to there ultra soft leather ear pads, like pillows resting on your head.

Quote: You probably be better of purchasing them directly from sound professionals because they will already be professionally modified. But if you want it really cheap, you could attempt at performing the modifications yourself, but there is a risk that you might damage your headphones.

Hi, i am just wondering if there a headphone that can provide more bass than the Sony XB500 headphones? Lots of bassheads consider the XB500 because of there big bass impact and vibrations, but i just wondering if there is a headphone that can provide more bass than the XB500?

Quote: Yep thats true, you have got point!

Why not consider yourself some good pair of IEMS instead of headphones? You get better portability that way! Plus they look discreet when walking outside and you won't be turning heads like with wearing big headphones in public!

Quote: Yes most headphones will gain an benefit from the extra power an amplifier can provide. That extra power will allow you to achieve more volume and more bass, if you go with an amp that has the bass booster eq button. If portability is required, check out the fiio e11 amplifier. if...
