The problem I have with modding mine is that the cost is really high. At that point I would consider moving up to a Denon AH-D5000 (which comes "woodied"), which I hear also has really fantastic bass.

Another candidate is the JVC Victor HP-DX-1000 which provides some of the deepest and plentiful quality bass in current production headphones. Yes, it is going to be above the OP's price cap, but it is ultra comfortable, classy, and kind of less common.

It is a real close can too

This is just cruel. You just suggested cans 3-4X the price limit. Even the Denon AH-D5000 is significantly cheaper than your suggestion.

I mirror your sentiments and experiences with the Bose OE (= On Ear Triports).


Me too. They were my commuting headphones of choice, doing an excellent job of taming the clangy Toronto subway. Excellent for that purpose. The very present bass and natural, passive ambient noise reduction made voices and even chamber music sound full in such a noisy environment. And they were extraordinarily comfortable, too.

Were? Alas, gentle reader, read on...

Aside... after 6 months of constant use, I pulled them out of my bag to find that the right side stopped working. It was working the night before. Just like that. Left side is fine and it doesn't seem to be the 1/8" plug or extender cord. I've opened them up and see nothing amiss. I got them used on ebay, so no warranty... Anybody have experience with this? Maybe driver retrofits? Sorry for going off topic, but my morning commute to the office is joyless and tinnitus-y now that I'm back to the stock ipod buds (v.2) (nooooooooooooo)

Sorry if this hurts. But a DX-1000 is US$795 + shipment new, and it is possible to get one used in around US$600 depending on condition. Although I must admit it is still around 2x the limit.

I have not heard a AH-D5000 but doubt it would be better phone than the DX-1000. Built quality wise, the DX-1000 appears to be better ?

I have never listened to the 770s so I can´t really compare...but I can really recommend the Ultrasone Proline 650.

And another. Huge bass, cheap price.

Do not go with the 05 model, Definitely pro. Dt770s are the way to go.
the 05 looks like a pos gimmicky can, plus the pro is just a better pair imo.
Dennons are not nearly as good as darths beyers. Darth beyers still have the bass and power of the stock ones, with added mids and highs, plus the looks.
I love them, I own 4 lol.

Same here = no bass.
