Bassy Headphones

[rpcooper11]

I am looking to buy a new pair of headphones because I found my current headphones to be disappointing in terms of bass. I listen to a lot of hip-hop, house/electro, and rock. My range is probably around 200-300 but I could probly find an extra 50 bucks if there are a perfect pair of headphones. I dont want a muddled pair of headphones, so highs and mids are still important, I just would like some extra kick to my bass that my current headphones are not providing. Thanks Rcoops

XB500 (no amp) or XB700 (with amp)

Denon AH-D2000
 
Amped or not they sound good.

Those things are huge

Ultrasone HFI-580's. 
Good bass and details, they are good performers on hip-hop and rock.

D2000, DT 770, M50, D5000 (if you can find a good deal on a used pair)

AH-D1100. Great bass and very portable/comfortable.

I've read the same of the D1100?
 
That it needs extremely intense EQ

If bass is what you're after, save your money. Get the XB500 and eq them to your satisfaction. $50 gets you all the bass you can possibly ever want. Won't even need an amp. Bonus: The comfort level is pretty much an 11 out of a 10.

You should get the HFI 580. The bass quantity and impact are pretty good, and it doesn't sacrifice the mid-range as much as some of the other contenders (XB series, PRO700MK2).

Hey! I just suggested to another Head-Fi-er that he get the Sony XB1000's for Electronic/ House music. At the price range of 200-300, it would be my very first choice of headphone for a more bass oriented music experience. Definitely check them out. And, if you maage to find a good used pair for around 200, you can still buy yourself a good amp (FiiO E7 or something like that) and still be under your 300 dollar maximum. A good amp should maximize the performance of the headphones. Hope this helped. Good luck finding yourself a good set of bass heavy cans.
