I've been reading these forums for over a week now and thought I'd join up and tell you guys how it went listening to a bunch of headphones today. I live in Hong Kong.   I started out with the AH-D2000 and straight away liked the focus on bass. The cups were comfortable and I found them...

Can some one tell me exactly how bassy is the M50? As far as i can tell they are only slightly bassy, if that is the case what's the most bassy headphone in that price range (sub$200)? I prefer as much bass as possible without having to sacrifice details.   PS: I hate the way the sony XB...

anyone have any thoughts before i blow 700 dollars on these things? Currently have XB500, Beyer DT770 80ohm. I have a FiiO E7 as a DAC and iBasso Toucan PB1 for an amp. Thinking of getting the E9 as well. I am a mad basshead who can never get enough. Just wanna know anything i should consider...

While I'm no where near an expert, I've spent enough time to get some ideas on how the things are.  Of course, there is a certain level of generalization I've done to make the points, but in overall, I think, it make sense.   Those who are new to this hobby if you think about where you fit...

Im looking for big, feel-able bass (I assume this is where the xb1000 will shine). I listen to a lot of bass heavy genres; especially in the electronic dance music spectrum. However, more bass is only good if it doesnt sacrifice too much of the rest of the sound. That being said, Im looking for...

Note: I also posted this in the "Buying headphones?" thread but I got no replies so, I'm attempting a new thread. Sorry if this is not allowed.   Hi there. I'm looking to improve my personal hearing equipment. I have read a lot of the threads around this forum but, I would like direct...

Hi guys I have read many of your forums but this is my first thread I am starting so Okay... I listen to songs I download from itunes and Right now I have a setup of my ipod touch and my zo personal subwoofer amp. I have a goal of getting the bassiest headphone ever made. I have the M50s right...

I'm curious to know from others who own & regularly use a variety of cans which of your closed cans have the best isolation- I'm not necessarily talking about best quality with decent isolation, I'm talkin' flat out can't hear the fire truck pulling up outside your house, on the train with a...

Just got this up on to YouTube. Hope you guys like it. I plan to compare Sony MDR-XB1000 as some of you have requested. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejd1L4unc9g

Some of you have asked me to compare these two bass heavy headphones to see which is KING.  I have never owned or auditioned Ultrasone prior to buying the Pro 900.  The Pro 900 is not cheap with the street price of $399 on Amazon.  If you missed my unboxing video, you can watch it here...

Hi guys, im new to the audiophile scene. Bought a new pair of headphones recently (Sony XB-1000) for 2 major reasons:   1 - Comfortable as hell (even though you look like princess leia, but hey its for home use) 2 - Heavy and kickass bass   They gave me a portable amp that has many...

I have been on here a while now and I finally want to buy something good. I ordered a DJ1 Pro but it had a faulty cable so wouldn't work properly. So i don't know how good that could have been. Before i return i was wondering if I should exchange it for something else? I chose ultrasone as I...

I'm planning to get a pair of headphones that offer clear deep bass sound but also great mids and highs, I have no knowledge about headphones on the market, I'm so confused about the Beast Studio, Bose QC15, Ultrasone Pro 900, Pioneer HDJ-1000, Sony XB1000. Which one fit me the most?  ...

hi, i already listened to hd598 hd600 hd650 dt990pro dt880pro when it comes to soundstage, the hd598 had the best by far. very wide with good separation and good 3d imaging. none of the others came close. the hd650 had nice bass, but for me it is too much emphasized in the midbass region...

WHICH ONE HAS MORE CLARITY AND BASS? ARE THERE ANY OTHER HEADPHONES THAT HAS MORE BASS THAN THESE? I HAVE NEVER TRIED THE PRO BUT I HAVE TRIED THE STUDIOS BUT IM WONDERING IF THE PROS WOULD HAVE MORE BASS THAN THE STUDIOS BECAUSE I AM A BASS GUY.

I just came over to my friend's house yesterday and brought over my Sennheisers with my PA2V2 amp. He says he likes them, but they have "no bass". And then he goes and says he likes Beats, and I try to convince him to buy something better. At the moment, he has 200$ to spend, uses a Blackberryy...

Hi guys, Short story: I'd like a K81 with a sub-bass hump instead of its mid-bass hump. Any suggestions? Long story: I'm searching for a "fun" (ie. bass heavy) portable, mostly for casual home use and the occasional commute. The K81 would be perfect, heard it a couple of times, I love its...

I'm real new to the whole audiophile thing and I'm just amazed on how big this community is!    I'm really interested in buying a good pair of headphones for the first time. I'm a HUGE bass head and i really enjoy electronic music like Dubstep. The XB-1000`s really caught my attention! Ive...

I am pretty new to headphones and such. For my ipod i ussually only used regular earbuds and such.  However I do have a pair of tritton ax 720's for gaming that r very nice and i like them a lot. But i wanted to get a pair of legit headphones for my ipod not jus gaming.  I wanted to get the sony...

Hey i am new to the forums and came across it when i decided to buy some good headphones. I know that for most good headphones i need a amp to power it and this word "source" keeps coming up? I am guessing it means the orginal source plugged into the amp so for example a laptop?  Ok i...

Hi guys,   new on the forum here and very impressed with the amount of knowledge you guys seem to have!   My "Head-Fi career" has been a long time coming but my interest has been steadily growing, it started with dedicated computer sound cards, then Sennheiser HD570 followed by a pair of...

Righto, sorry for the name-calling.   I actually plan on sticking around these forums, albeit not a 1000-posts a month poster, I'm already on an NBA forum. Here, I'm a long-time watcher, first time poster.   Aaaaaanyway, I have come here predominantly to ask you good folks for an...

I have a friend that has 4 15 inch subwoofers with a 2000 watt RMS amp in his van. He is into Max SPL competitions with bass that exceeds 125db. He wants a pair of headphones, amp, an equalizer to get max bass while sitting at home. He lives in a community with noise laws so a home stereo is not...
