I don't think that the HD820 will have a TH900 or Z1r bass.
It doesn't seem to go as deep as the Z1R.

i would describe "boosted" bass as bass that is emphasised or prominent relative to the rest of the frequency response. i am saying that it is "boosted" based on my perception and the frequency response measurements that i have seen. i am only referring to the th900's bass amplitude or quantity - not the quality.What even is boosted bass? I found the TH 900 to have a very strong sub bass, but it was extremely tight and controlled. Never ever boomy, muddy or distrupting other sounds. It has a higher potential for bass than most other headphones, but who's to say its "boosted" or above some imaginary neutral?
noAre you comparing TH900 against the real subwoofers ?, if it is yes I will agree but to me TH900's bass is perfect for headphones IMO.
It doesn't surprise me at all seeing the argument on neutrality keeps going on... there will never be a conclusion because neutrality is NOT objective itself; it's personal and it's subjective. Flat response is not neutrality and the imaginary producer's view is nearly impossible.
For many hi-fi headphones, they're not flat but they're within a range that many listeners can gradually get themselves accustomed to their sound signatures. It's enough for me.
Also keep in mind many headphones are largely affected by the whole setup, they make the situation worse.
the only difference between the th900 and the th900 mk2 is that the latter has detachable cables. i wouldn't describe the th900 as having boomy bass but it does have boosted bass. i can't help thinking that fostex didn't design the th900 with sound engineering in mind if the sound signature and urushi lacquer ear cups are anything to go by.
Studios actually use neither. Headphones are not used during mixing, when the works of producers are involved.Not at all. The concept of neutrality is more robust than you think.
I can't imagine someone in a studio uses th900 for mastering, though many use hd650 for that purpose. It would be another story for personal/guilty pleasure.
...it was the Beats by Dre that triggered me into headphones Which I don't own anymore.
Then what do you expect from the HD820?I find them to have the tightest bass, even beating the eikon and hd800.
In all honesty the first pair of headphones I got that I thought sounded good at the time we're the Beats Pro, the original ones. At that time I thought $400 was a lot of money for headphones. Look at me now lol.Brave man to post that here.
I have no clue on HD820. Haven't tried it.Then what do you expect from the HD820?
i wasn't commenting on the quality of the th900's bass but i think it's exceptional fwiwI find them to have the tightest bass, even beating the eikon and hd800.
