Accurate and controlled is the name of the game, though I do not listen to the sort of bass you would find in a Jazz ensemble. Again, these phones are for "fun", techno and hip-hop kind of stuff. I'll look into some "serious music" phones a little later on. A phone that can play both roles would...

@jageur272 - I would absolutely love to try out all kinds of 'phones for myself, but I have a hard time auditioning different 'phones without buying them first! Us Canadians dont have much selection when it comes to headphones, I'm afraid. @the uam - thanks for the suggestions, I have looked...

Anybody care to send a pair of RX700's to a less fortunate (read: Canadian) member?

I've done some extensive research on the Q40's and the XB700's and have decided to get the HA-RX700's due to their balance of bassyness and ath-a900-matching performance. But I can't find them anywhere in Canada, and can't post in the For Sale section of the forum yet, so I suspect I am out of...

I think I'll pass on the Hyundai's for now! Definitely an interesting choice though. I had a pair of AKG's in the past, to be honest I forget what model they were, but they sat directly on my ear and were really small and I hated them. I think I'll stay away from AKG for a little bit. And the...

Thanks for the quick reply guys! Alot of these 'phones are way out of my price range really, I think I'd have a hard time parting with ~$150 max for a pair of 'phones unless I knew that the phones were exactly what I want (ATH-AD700's, maybe 500's if the drop in quality isn't that drastic or...

HD212- I have a pair of generic low-tier Senn's that sound 100x worse than my Kramer'd KSC75's, are these any different? Sennheiser and bass dont traditionally go well together do they? Denon 5000/7000- $$$$$$$$$$$$ Pioneer HDJ-1000s- they look good, but theres a bunch of fakes floating...

Hey everybody, first post here. I'm looking for some full-size 'phones that'll rattle my skull with hard-hitting lows. I've got JVC Marshmallows, and they're plenty bassy, but I hate having the things in my ears. I've been doing some research and I've noticed the AKG K81DJ (or the newer model...
