Headphones with the most bass for under 250 dollars

[jceccoli]

I started a thread a few days ago about getting the headphones with the most bass for under 150 dollars. I was recommended the MDR XB1000's. I really like these headphones, but are there any other headphones for 250 dollars or less that are as good as the XB1000's? Also, if I do go with the Sony's, should I go for the XB700's or the XB1000's? Thanks in advance

Consider the DT770 from Beyer. Bass heavy and a little bright.

DT770's are nice, I have heard they aren't very durable though. I'm not sure about this, it's just what I've heard. They are bass heavy, but they are medium-high bright IMO, when I listen to dubstep the highs really bump up on the DT's. Not sure what else would be considered bass heavy, but you might want an amp, maybe a portable one, if you want CLEAN heavy bass instead of the bass that sounds like your headphone has bad gas.

Beyer DT770 PRO

Beyers are plenty durable, they're virtually tanks.
 
Very best,

I haven't heard the XB1000s but I've heard all XB300, 500 and 700 and personally preferred the XB500 for their bass impact. I use them predominantly for dubstep.

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro 80-Ohm (closed headphone).
Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250-Ohm (open headphone).
Both need a decent headphone amplifier to bring out their best.

You should have waited, I heard the 1000's a while back and heard the 770's today, the 770's were way better in terms of bass imo.
