Plenty of juice definitely helps. Going from a 9v go-vibe to 24v Pimeta with dual stacked buffers helped a lot. However, they still tend to be somewhat light on the bottom end IMO.

However, I plugged them into my PreSonus Central Station three days ago and was amazed. The bass is there. It's solid, deep and clean. It sounds really good and I am thoroughly enjoying them. Like the K-1000, I think the K-501 needs a lot of juice to power it successfully. Lack of bass in the K-501 is not the fault of the headphones, it's the fault of whatever amp they're plugged into. |
