...Buy a pair of MDR-V6 ~ but DO NOT use an external amplifier
I've just been listening to some trance music with my JMT, and as ever it sounded spot on, couldn't ask for better sound... but inevitable as these things are the battery died, so I only had the headphone out of my CD player (Marantz) left to use and the bass scared the hell out of me!! This really is bass you can FEEL, yes ~ I know we've been here before countless times but, I think a lot of how you get these 'phones to sound is with the equipment you use them with... try them just through a 'standard' source, and see what you think!!
Anyone who thinks that the V6 are bass-light really does need their head testing!! - for the first time ever I got a MAJOR bass headache!! and the miracle of it all is, that I wasn't even listening that loudly!! (FOUR out of Twenty on the Marantz volume scale!!) The rolling bass is very visceral (i think i'm using the right terminology here)... you could almost put your hand out and touch the sound... as strong as it is!!
V600/700/900 addicts... I would hate to be your ears if you think these Sonys are bass shy!!
