I'm finding more and more of my music becoming bass heavy stuff like rap, funk, dub, etc. so I'm looking for some headphones that can deliver a powerful bass sound. What are some recommendations?

 

[DC5Zilla]

Denon, Beyer DT770/80?

 

[El_Doug]

Ed9's

 

[subtle]

Audio Technica L3000

I've owned all the headphones known for bass, including the PS-1, HP-1000, and Edition 9, and the L3000s take the cake.

Sorry, I should have specified my price range is around $200. These $1000+ headphones are WAY too expensive for me!

 

[Acix]

Ultrasones. and for more natural deep bass, try thre GMP 8.35 D Monitor.

 

[Nick 214]

Used 770/250

NK

Finally - a man who know what he wants : BASS !

Sony have an entire series (XB) dedicated to delivering the kind of bass that will frighten everyone around you - the kind of bass that will beat you, whip you and make you feel cheap. Bass with an attitude - big, beautiful booty-lovin' bass that some here might dare to call 'flabby', but not me : I *dare* you to unleash those fart cannons at every opportunity. Other men may fear you but women will love you.

Personally, I am perfectly happy with the bass response from my MS-1s, but I've always been a bit limp-wristed like that. I aspire to Skullcandy and one day meeting an actual woman.

Lmao, I

hard after that.

 

[NoLimits3D]

Consider an amped pair of DT-770s.

 

[Wolf04]

I actually think the Sony XB700s are perfect for people looking for bass, not muffled or overwhelming at all.

Wow, I literally laughed out loud at that.

I think those Sony's where actually the kind of headphones I was looking for.
And by the way, they're also f'in HUGE

Larry. my futile attempt at humour aside, see if you can audition a pair of XBs. As wolf has indicated, the 700s are the model to aim for - the lesser XBs are a mixed bag but the XB700 was reasonably well received. Seriously, it is refreshing to see someone come out and say upfront that this is what they are looking for - you will see untold posts here and elsewhere that go 'man, I really love the tight bass that the ACME 9000 has, but I just want a little more slam - what sort of amp/recabling do I need now ?'. Therein lies the road to financial and emotional ruin, I'm afraid.

Now go and enjoy that slam bass !
