Hi
 
i'm back on the market for some portable headphones and as a bass junkie i recently tested some XB500s and loved them, my question is are there any portable headphones with a comparable level of bass but not as big the size of them is off putting plus my head is big enough as is.
 
budget is £60/$90, looking for preferable closed cans
 
if they are available to the UK that would be a great help too
 
Any recommendations are appreciated
 
Thanks

Koss KSC75/Porta Pro with a Sansa Clip+ with manual gain on the bass EQ band. Add a FiiO E11 (E3 works too, but E11 is just so much better). Also try the Audio Technica ES7 with the same source and amp. I would say the ES7 is slightly better than the XB500 in terms of bass (not out the box but with EQ)
