Ha ha! I've had people say that about my amp before! Lol! I still think JVC's are the best cans for bassheads, and for value. I'm getting those LP's, so we shall see. I will do a full test on the LP's in comparison to JVC HA-M55X's, Beats Studios (old version), monster N-Tune(Nice as hell headphones. Great for all types of music. Basically the same sound signature as the JVC's, but smaller. By the way, the JVC's and the N-Tunes are both really good for rock, and bass oriented music. They got the balance just right.) and whatever else my friends let me borrow for testing. I will be testing them out of a 1-10 scale.
Build, Durability (based on research... I don't have money to replace 550$ of headphones), distortion, loudness, bass quality, bass impact, mids quality (which I know JVC's will get the highest. The mid range instrumentals are just too nice sounding... Even if male vocals are somewhat lackluster.), Equalization responsiveness, treble quality, soundstage (which JVC's have quite a big one, at that. Especially for basshead cans... Oddly so, in fact.) soundstage accuracy, drivability, response to being driven with FiiO E11, cost/quality ratio, accessories... Any other things I should touch on in my comparisons of two popular, and one not so popular basshead cans? (I might be able to do comparisons between a new model beats pro too, and a new model beats studio. Also maybe a Solo HD, and some apple ear buds as a control comparison. Oh, skull candy 2XL ear buds, skull candy hesh 2... Maybe. And then other things I can find.) this will be reposted in the basshead club.
I personally can't stand distortion. I know what you mean, it takes me far more than that to get used to and appreciate the sonic merits of a pair of headphones.
