Griffin Woodtones are one of the best sub $100 cans i've used. Which can even rival with high end phones if amplified. Sound and bass getting distorted without amplification. But good when amplified. Other problem is durability. You may soon end up breaking the cup attachment which is connecting...

If JBL S700 is producing more amount of bass then it must be able to shake the paper better then SZ2k. Which is what this thread is all about. Quantity of bass ! and even OP admitted that quality of sound remains better in SZ1000 then SZ2000 in high volume. But SZ2k produce more impact and...

Sure i'll do this. First i'll try it with Corda Aria which is more on DAC side rather then Amp side. i'll buy E12 or E09k if Corda Aria's built in amp would not be able to drive it as needed.

Nice justification! And thanks for diverting me towards SZ1K. After reading your comparison, I would have given first place to SZ1K as i like bass but without sacrificing resolution. But it's just me.

Just a question if you have time bro. in highest bass level, which one is clearer or maintain their resolution ?  SZ2K SZ1K Or PRO700MK2

And agreed on the bass level of that 77x in video. it's looks something extra i am sure.

If you've already compared the bass of that can, then maybe i have not heard the bass slam what you are talking about. i'll definitely check out the sz2k very soon. Thanks for the info by the way !

In my opinion, ATH-T500 is best ear rattling/massaging can for bassheads in sub $100 category. currently i dont have those pairs right now, but as i know that it was   crap direct from smartphone decent from my onboard realtek HD's direct out. WHILE beast from my Corda Aria DAC/Amp.   Just...

heads-UP http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-DENON-AH-D50...QQcmdZViewItem YES! It's in $419. Should I still consider to buy D2000 pricewise ???

Sorry I didn't see your amps link. And I think M3 should work better with K340's.

I know a member holding two of them. And he owned W5000 as well. I hope he should sell one to you. Kindly don't ask the name. He's expected to be here soon.

In $1K budget. I'll go for. W5000 $730 (pricejapan.com) X-Fi Xtreme music $80 (Ebay) G&W AT-F100 $230 (ornec.com) TOTAL $1040 Though X-Fi don't have PCMCIA version for laptop. X-Fi is most underestimated sound card among audiophiles IMO. While they can sound much better then Zhaolu...

These phones are 400ohms and they sound better with tube amp BTW.

Audio-Technica is cheaper in Japan.

Stay with a league ahead of all above recommended. Go for ATH-A500

Maybe X-Fi will shake you guys. I got double power and puch from my previous SB live 24-bit and M-Audio Revolution 7.1. Though I am using A900LTD.
