I read a few reviews that described the K550 as having ‘powerful bass’. This is most definitely a lie. I expected so much from these headphones (I've had them for 2 days now) but they haven’t moved me in any way. There is no bass whatsoever. They sound extremely thin. Do you think this has anything to do with burn-in? Will playing music non-stop for a week or so make a difference?
I’m seriously debating whether I should return them or not. I love the way they look, the build quality is impeccable (very sturdy and tough). The ear pads are EXTREMELY SOFT and plump so that’s another plus. But the sound is so underwhelming.
Does anyone here have these headphones? What amp do you recommend for a significant bass boost? I was thinking of getting the fiio e17 but I’m not sure.
By the way, I use headphones for films, music and games. I listen to all kinds of music although I mostly listen to jazz.
