Actually, I prefer the midrange frequencies.

I generally tend to listen to the whole range of my music instead of using high-passes to just listen to my bass

With the DT770 maybe....

IMO it all depends on the cans and setup....some has better mid, others better highs, and others better lows and some just low.....LOL

I frequently listen to all frequencies equally when I frequent my headphones

Okay, enough wisecracks.

I understand what you mean, Matthew. I think the reason is that a great deal of low bass is heard and felt, and some of it is only felt. So even if a headphone goes down to very low frequencies (say, less 40hz) you will only feel it in your head, if at all. With a speaker system you will feel the bass throughout your body. In my experience, low bass feels especially strong in the chest. (Maybe low bass resonates in the chest because the chest is a large cavity with a rigid framework?)

it's just you.

basshead.

what you are probably saying is that you like a bass level that is as much or lesser than the treble level (respectively), least you perceive the too-much-treble-in-respect-to-the-rest-of-the-frequecy-response to be bright.

as a dancer I appreciate a firm visceral bass beat, but as a head-fi'er I appreciate delicate details all over. muddy bass has no place in kettle drums, for me. one note resonance bass, as evidenced by ported speaker designs, leave me cold. give me a labyrinth bass system that pulls your shorts down and doesn't stop until your stomach meets your ankles, and I'm a happy man.

give me nice tight bass response and I am happier than having flabby bass which has no control.

so, what does the 1812 Overature sound to you?
