I usually listen to hiphop/rap,and I only use my ipod classic(no amp ),so is SRH840's bass enough to listen to rap?
BTW,I'm using px200 now,and I think its bass is not enough.

The Shures have a good amount of bass, but I don't know what you would consider enough (I've never heard a PX 200). They certainly have less bass than Denons, for example - if you're really concerned with having HUGE bass, a Denon would be a better choice. But FWIW I think the Shure bass is very nicely balanced with the rest of the sound spectrum, extremely deep, and pretty punchy.

Maybe a tad underpowered with an iPod, but still good enough, I'd say. I second the recommendation on Denons though, if you want HUGE bass.

It's my opinion that unamped off an ipod classic, the bass will be too slow for rap, especially if you like to listen to it loud.

Thanks,guys.I just read some review about it,and many people cmplain about it is bass lackluster ,so now I'm wondering whether it's good for hiphop/rap.

Please give me some advice about an amp for SRH840.I just need a portable one.Is FiiO E5 enough?

 

[AmanGeorge]

I think the FiiO E5 is a fine choice, the Shures are not particularly demanding - plus the E5 has a bass boost that you could turn on if it strikes your fancy.

I would definitely look at other options as well, though - Denons as mentioned above have massive bass. Ultrasones are also supposed to have very powerful bass, and from what I understand they are easy to drive straight out of an iPod and may be another good option for you.

 

[gr33nhand]

thank you£¬guys. Really useful advice . But I think ultrasones is a little expensive for me . And IMO RSH840 should have far more bass than px200. So I gonna buy it .

I will second the suggestion of Ultrasones for you. The good news is you don't have to go for the HFI-780. I actually prefer either the 580 or the 680. The 580s are closer to the price of the SRH-840s. I just think the 840s are a bit too demanding straight from a DAP.

Straight out of a DAP, I don't think you'll be happy with anything unamped except a DT770, but the SHR840 is a much better balanced headphone for the rest of the music spectrum, and the bass is nice. Just not insane like the DT770.
