So I have tried some sonyV6s as my first entry to High-Fi headphone, but they did not have enough bass.   Now I have a pair of Sony-mdrxb500s and the bass is good on them, but I feel as if I can't hear certain parts of songs that the V6s allowed me too.   So my question is, if we are...

  Quote: would those be ok for un-amped sources?

So right now I have Sony Mdr-v6 headphones Ive been wanting to change my headphones to some Sony mdr-xb500s, since most of my music is bass heavy and the Mdr-v6s sound too clinical to me.   Anyone have other recommendations for other types of headphones to buy?   keep in mind the MSRP...

^^^. So what exactly is the difference? I"m thinking about buying some sony extra bass headphones, but I heard some logitech surround sound headphones also offer good bass. I"m assuming that the sony's are better for music, and something like the Logitech G35 headset is better for...

ok thanks everyone for the help!, a few final questions: -So if I choose between the xb500 and xb700, the xb500 would be the way to go? -If I exchanged the V6 for the xb500, is there that much of a sound difference/ sound quality improvement for the type music I listen too( mostly meaning...

also to add...I mostly listen to techno-like music, but I also listen to a lot of alternative rock music too like The killers Red Hot Chili Peppers Modest Mouse MGMT The killers 311   Would the Xb500 and Xb700 be ok with these types of songs too?

I bought the mrd-v6 headphones from walmart, so I would say thats trustworthy. Thanks for the response!   Also, if I was just using a source like an mp3 player or computer without an amp, would the V6s or the XBs be a better choice, and would there even be an easily noticeable change in bass...

Hey guys, For Christmas, I received Sony Mdr-V6 headphones, and they sound very good, but the thing is...Most of the music that I listen to is techno, and dependent on heavy bass. These headphones sound good for songs that don't require lots of bass, but I feel the need for more bass for...
