Hi, I'm looking for the best bass headphones out there without EQ, something I can connect to a Naim Uniti HE

my frame of reference is LCD XC with eq and balanced amp, I think the bass on this system slams

I would like to approach this with a more simple and elegant system

 

[Hifiearspeakers]

ZMF Atrium, ZMF Verite, Meze Elite, Final d8000 OG or Pro.

Are you looking for full bass or tight and punchy?

 

[NewCanadian]

good question
preferance would be tight and punch, I would say my lcd xc does both

 

[NewCanadian]

I'll need to research ZMF, thanks for the suggestions

 

[msing539]

Tight and punchy, I'd say the HE6SE v2 if you can drive them well. HE-500 or Quad ERA-1 are other options that are easier to drive.

thank you, driving them will be the naim uniti he

Zmf Eikon all day...not the cleanest but does great all around, it's solid Soundstage helps its clarity but its subbass and punch is upper lever not achieved by many spendy cans.
But if you want a cheap thrill the Sennheiser Momentum 3 corded can make that happen!

In the same Focal/Naim family, the Focal Radiance is very punchy and just awesome for EDM. It has a lot of dynamism and less fatiguing than their other models like the Clear or Utopia.

Zmf Atrium has a very punchy bass that has good quality and quantity. Doesn't have planar sub base extension.
D8000 pro has fantastic extension, tightness, punch, and detail to its bass. It may not be elevated quantity wise but it has some of the best quality bass in any headphone I have heard.
Regular D8000 is not a headphone I have heard but it has elevated bass compared to the pro version.
If you want much more reasonably priced headphones the Tr-x00 variants, E-mu Teak, and Meze 99 are good options. Though for the TRX00/THX00 aren't produced anymore and have to be found used.

 

[NewCanadian]

these are great suggestions
my only concern is power, leaving my balanced amp and balanced eq for the naim all in one

i really only want a headphone system nowadays for bass sessions and the lcd xc with the cheap drop amp and behringer eq hit like a truck

was too heavy on my head and I need a more simple and elegant system hence the naim

The ZMF Atrium has incredible bass.

Have used LCD-X and purchased Clear MG recently. I'd say stay away from Focal. LCD-X excels in every single way including build, comfort and sound. I'm returning my MG.

I also would like to venture into ZMF world, but i'm not living in US.
