Headphones for electronic, rock... W/ NICE BASS

[lordbeefmaster]

I was looking at the HD595 becuase looks like they are a good overall headphone. I own a par of the HD570's and they are much to light, with no bass. I am looking for a good headphone great for electronica and rock with GOOD BASS. within the price range of the HD595's. Thanks, let me know!

If you are after the kind of BASS I suspect you are after, you need a pair of BeyerDynamic DT-770s.

Good luck.

awsome, that is actually what i was lookign at! thanks!

Do you have any recemendations for a portable amp? $150 OR LOWER price range?

DT770 definitely, or if you want amazing impact and awesome rendition of electric guitars, you can't beat Grados. Lacking in soundstage though.

SR60 is an amazing deal, but SR225 is the real gem of the line I believe (bang for buck)

If I compare the HD595 and HD280pro would the 280 be more bassy than the 595?

If you blu-tak mod it.

Not sure about BD770, but if you are looking for BASS, you have to try Sennheiser HD485. They will blow you away...

Cheers

The Beyer dt770, or dt990, are your best bet. The Grado SR225, which some recommend, have decent quality bass, but just not very much of it. If you want to go with Grado, the HF1 is a better choice bass wise.

If you go with the Beyers, be aware that you will need some sort of amplification to make them sing.

an amp under 150? either a used old model Supermacro, or a DIY Pimeta are your best bets!
