Good point here... though you'll have to prove the lower than 100hz part

I don't get the ISO XXX 2003 loudness standard; it would seem by it that all reference headphones should be massively U-shaped, but they're not...?

The K-1000s have the best bass I've heard, it may attenuate the lowest register, but quality-wize it is unmatched. The HP-2 comes a close second.

But I would say the HD600 has very good bass compared to the others listed. Just my preference as I lean more towards accuracy.

I would never use the phrases "attenuate the lower register" and "best bass I've heard" in the same sentence!. Not all powerful bass is great bass, but certainly all great bass is powerful! One reason that I sold my K701s is that the bass was thin and anemic (though undoubtably tight and detailed.)

djayp then instead of edition 9 the 750 or 2500 or PRO 900? Which one of these I must let other decide. But since PRO 900 uses the same drivers as the Edition 9 my prejudgments before I get mine tomorrow will be that
