I am looking for some really nice bass headphones.   Now I am new to the whole Hi end headphone area. I am big on home theatre and car audio is where I shine.   But as far as headphones I have used apple ear buds for about 5 or more years.   Anyways I spoiled myself one day and got...

I tried my friends Beats Studio he recently bough and thought the bass was weak and overall was weak too... Is this just me? I own the tours and thought the bass was ok, but it was punch. I liked how low the XB700s went, but i want the punch the tours had I owned the CX300II and thought...

I had the ATH-M50s for 2 years. I loved them, but had to give them away so i'm looking for a new pair of cans. I listen mainly to hip-hop, rap, and lots of electronica, no amp and straight from my laptop or iPod Touch.    I'm looking for another pair of cans around ~$100 that can rival the...

After doing a lot of research and going over the huge "BASS IMPACT" thread, it seems to be a common opinion that the Sony XB500's have the most bass impact (kick/punch) for an unamped portable.  Is there anyone who has heard it and disagrees?  If so, what other similarly priced pair has more...

Hi,   I am looking for headphones mostly for outside use, travel mostly.   I  have an ipod classic 5g. I mostly listen to Bonobo, The Crystal Method, Rage Against The Machine, Prodigy and some hard rock. So I would really like the headphones to have nice deep bass.   I want to avoid...

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I bought an Sony XB700. Can you suggest me the best headamp to use with my headphone ? I prefer an small, portable and budget headamp cause I do not have much money (below 50$). Thank you all.

Hello,   I am new to the forum however I read quite a lot.   For past week I've been searching for on ear headphones, preferably closed ear. They would be mainly for listening music outside, during travel and in parks etc. during nice calm game of chess. 99% of the time they would be...

And this is coming from someone that uses neutral headphones to constantly monitor, track and mix music. My current collection includes DT770s, ATH-M50s, HFI-450s and Proline 2500s, and through the last two years I have owned Sony V6s, V600s, V900s,  7506s, 7509s, Senn HD280s, Shure SRH 440s...

Hey im looking for a new pair of headphones. Right now i have the Sennheisher HD 428, and while they sound nice and are VERY comftorable, they have almost non-existant bass, i listen to a lot of techno and hip hop and rock, and those tracks are usually bass heavy and I cant even feel the bass on...

  Quote: I just came across this, if this is true can someone please verify it, that would mean it would blow away the sony xb700 and V6 aswell..   Is this really a no contest winner?   someone that has heard it please verify and ill buy it immediately!

Looking for some decent isolating headphones. Right now I'm thinking MDR-V6's, but they fluctuate wildly in price, so if I can't get them for $60 I'd like to have a backup plan.   As the title says, need them to be closed, used primarily for folk rock and stuff. Have to work unamped as well...

Well, I've finally decided to make the leap to hi-fi, and I've been able to come up with some requirements for the products I wish to buy. Here are all of my requirements listed by component:   DAC: Must have a frequency response of at least 5 Hz - 30 kHz. The lower bound can be lower and...

Which headphone do you prefer more. Some information about myself: i listen to really all genres of music. Classical, jazz, metal, prog, rock, blues, some rap...anything; so i narrowed the search down to the Sonys and Shures as they are both comfortable and fairly even across the board, at least...

So i went to bestbuy today, and sampled some of their headphones. Unfortunately, the ones i was looking for were unavailable. Now, my problem is, that the coupon for one of my desired headphones is going to expire tomorrow, and i need to decide which headphones to get as soon as possible. While...

Hey! I need some good basy headphones to use with my IPHONE I dont havy any amp and I DONT wanna use some. Whitch should I choose? The XB700 for 90 bucks or XB500 for 75? 

OK so my first intro to the world of decent headphones has been the HD 580, and omg what an intro.   Anywany I love everything about them, but there are certain things I listen to that require more bass. I just bought some Sony XB700 for things like trance and hiphop as I thought they would...

Hey I'm new around here but I have been looking over the forums for some time now. My curiousity with headphones started when my friend bought a pair of beats and I really liked the deep bass and looks of the headphones and I really disliked the price. I'm a perfectionist and always like to get...

I'm going to buy my first "high-quality" headphones, and i've narrowed it down to the Sony xb700 and the Sennheiser HD555. The price does not matter, because i can get them for around $70 - $80. I'm stuck between which is the "better" one. I listen to all types of music (alternative, hip-hop...

Hello all,   I was looking for a very cheap amp that could help my ath-m50 and xb700 sound better if possible.  I looked at the fiio e5 and it looked cheap and good.   So just the requirements, -50$ or less -small -improve bass, not reduce it(not sure if its possible)   Thanks...

Hey guys, my boyfriend is really into listening to his iPod and he's been using the original Apple earbuds. I wanna get him some over the ear headphones and hopefully he'll like it! Can you guys help me please?   He listens to rap and hip hop only. Artists such as Eminem, Jay-Z, Young Money...

Has anybody got the sony  MDR-XB700, i found them for £80 and was wondering if they were good value for money, otherwise what other headphones would you recomend for drum and bass and rock.   Thanks

In this rare moment of freedom, I hastily write my impression of the Sony MDR-XB700 (with a mention of the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi USB): Looks and Feel If you read my impression of the Shure SRH440, you'll know that I love sleek, black electronics. It's almost like my kryptonite...

I have done a lot of looking around on these forums and finally decided to make an account. I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones that will allow me to pump out as much bass as possible since my entire ipod is filled with almost entirely dubstep but I do have some some trance and a few other...
