Need a closed fon, no amp, for DAP and also portable DVD player to watch movies, at night without disturbing my sleeping other half. Looking for bass monster. Not muddy, boomy, doof doof doof, but hard hitting, impactful sub woofer thump. I have researched this quite a bit and am leaning toward the Ultrasone Proline 550. I am also considering the HFI DJ1.
Anyone had experience with either of these phones (particularly the Pro 550) that can offer an opinion. There seeems to be thread after thread on K701 or Hd 600 650, Grado sr60 etc, but there isn't much on closed fons, particularly non top end or non Beyer (need a decent dedicated amp) models.
I know there are a couple of threads on the Ultrasone top end, however I have also heard that Ultrasone suffer big time from diminishing returns and therefore I want opinions on the bass entry level models.
Cheers
