I've never felt my beyers were lacking in the low end. Try a pair of the new edition of dt990's sometime.

I guess the ButtKicker seems more like a novelty item that would probably be a hell of a lot of fun for movies, but the idea of rattling the screws in my listening chair just isn't what I'm looking for when I'm doing critical listening. I will definitely demo this thing for my TV setup if I see it around in a shop. |

A visceral feeling, a low rumble, a vibration that is not auditory. So with quality headphones why would you degrade the sound by a sub woofer that is putting out its own sound frequency? The bass shaker can be 100% adjusted from a bone rattling novelty to just a hint. All the sound quality remains, and the visceral bass feeling is there. I no longer have my bass shaker, but it was quite nice. I understand there are more expensive and faster response bass shaking devices out there now. But you have to shop for the quality products, not the low budget Butt Kicker crap. |

If the crossover doesn't separate the two signals enough, is there a possibility that the sub fires, has x amount of delay until it reaches your ears, and is out of sync with the cans? |
