Hmm, kind of dissapointed in these 'cans... :C

So I've spent about a total of 10 hours listening to these, but they still haven't shined out their treble and mids. Should I wait a little longer? :/

They won't. Well, they won't become much more upfront. You can condition yourself to like the comparatively recessed mids and treble, but it won't actually be more upfront.

I'd say no. Ultrasone HFI-580 should be a good choice for you

If you like splinters in your ear. EQ may be able to fix the strident treble though. I thought the Beyer dt990 pros as well as the Hfi2400 were great for trap and dub while I had them. If you need isolation I suspect the TMA-1 would fit the bill.

Dang, went from loving them to hating them so quickly? I'll say it right now: You're gonna have to expand your budget if you want strong bass AND omnipresent mids and highs. Honestly you won't get exactly that without going into the thousand dollar range. There is a lot that can get you close though! You might like the Sennheiser HD 600 or 650, but those are $400-$600, and you'll need a good amp to bring out the bass. While I haven't tried them myself, the Hifiman HE-400 might be a good candidate as well, if you need to save money ($400, and can run well off of a cheap amp). The old-school Denons are awesome, but their prices are climbing quickly, now that they're discontinued.  Welcome to Head-Fi

Alright, seriously. Has anyone that has posted on this thread tried any of the SkullCandy's Supreme Sound headphones? Supreme Sound sounds awesome, atleast too me. Maybe I just got cheated with the V-MODA's? I don't know what is wrong...

I have used the Aviators, the Hesh, and the Hesh 2. Do you like your Hesh 2 more than the Crossfade LP?

Yes, I do like my Hesh 2's more than my Crossfade LPs currently. Although the Hesh 2's could use more bass, like the LP gives.

Send 'em back! You can then either stick with your Hesh 2s, or try again. You came into a bump in the road of your journey to hi-fi, don't let it discourage you! You'll find what you like eventually. Although you may have already found that in the Hesh 2. Pro tip though: start saving, then you can freely try headphones.

Hey he wanted treble :p

I've heard that TMA-1 sounds sort of like pro700s. And while my pair has gotten a bit brighter after about a week they're still dark sounding bass heavy phones though.

These come on the DT 770, 880, and 990. Slap it on your Hesh 2 and get the sound you want without that obnoxious unpadded headband. If the earpads bother you too, get some Beyerdynamic velour pads, those are soooooooooffffttttt :)

Well, I'm still not sure if I love or hate the V-MODA's. I'll think about it the next few days/weeks.

do you need any special headphones for this genre?  anything with massive bass will work so any of the popular headphones would work
