Head-Fi Basshead IEM thread (lists page 1)

Got some Carbo Tenores in- like someone mentioned earlier in the thread, pretty impressive bass side of things, especially considering size. Maybe not ot basshead but if someone just wants decent bass, not a bad choice for $30- curious to hear the Basso now.


Ive had tenore, bass is definitelly bassy but i think vsonic vsd3s bass enhanced version which i also had has a better bass. bothe of them though are crap if you compare to sony xba-a2 those have much better type of bass. hence the price. cheers

Hey I got a question for you guys I am looking for a good iem that delivers great mid bass impact similar to my asg2's but with better bass that digs deep real deep. Now my budget is around 300.00 and I am leaning towards the Sony a3's in fact its my first choice or I might save an extra 50.00 dollars and get the th600s for a great deal what do you guys suggest???

In time both and if longer some more. I love the Th900 only one issue well two: Not easy to take out of the house and 2. Bass leaks from the ear pads, the bass hits my shoulders.

 
LOL
 
I bet it does

You can get the Fostex TH600 for less than the Sony XBA-A3 somewhere? Get them asap. Worst case, you can sell them for more than you paid. I've never seen them for less than $450, and they're usually at or near $600. Now that they're discontinued, they're going to enter into Audiophile Legend and will eventually cost more.

They really discontinued those? Well, s***, was hoping to get a pair one day, when I didn't do 90% of my listening portable style :frowning2:

Yeah, nobody really knows why since they're nearly as good as the TH-900 at half the price. Wait... maybe that's why... Actually, we don't know. It could be that they believe the TH900 + TH500RP taps the high end better as a pair than the TH600, or maybe they are replacing the 600 with something super amazing.

I don't know if I was getting a good deal on them ( th600s ) it was more of a trade off for my Pandora vi's and 50.00 or just get the xba a3's. I know it's like apples and oranges one is a portable iem and the other is a stay at home over the ear. I already have the asg2's the fx1100s and the ie800s and was just wondering am I really missing out on anything with the xba a3's since I have those other iems I just mentioned. I mean would the xba a3's be better than any of those iems that I have ( asg2, fx1100s, 850s and the ie800s ). P.S I can get the audiotechnica w1000x for 250.00 would that be an even better deal than the th600s???

  I'm going to compile a list of some of the best bass test tracks over at Basshead.Club. If you have any you love using to test bass--especially sub-bass--please link me and I'll get them compiled. It'll be nice to have a spot where you can just go play a bunch of tracks on a page instead of searching through the threads. Thanks!
