hey guys
I'm looking for a bass headphone arround $90-100.Id like to listen to dubstep,EDM etc.
What headphones do you recommend ?

 

[Oregonian]

The M-Audio Q40 is a great choice in that range with both good bass and overall good sound.

Should I buy the AKG K167 Tiesto? 40mm drivers, built for electronic music.. Are they bassy?
 
(I'm working with Tiesto this week)

 

[White Lotus]

Scratch that, the AKG K267 Tiesto has adjustable bass. That's definitely more my style.
 

 
50mm drivers to boot. Anyone tried them?

 

[gikigill]

They have been on my list for a long time. Might get Billy to get in a sample.

 

[White Lotus]

I'll buy them on monday/tues and let you know. I think they are exclusive to storeDJ but that's no issue

 

[gikigill]

How about a tour for the AKG?

 

[White Lotus]

Not if I get them signed next weekend

 

[gikigill]

Another pair for me please!

Signed of course.

I haven't heard them personally, but have been told the tiesto don't sound too good (graphs are out there too.)

I'm more worried about the quality as there are reports of these breaking very easily.

Agreed. I've seen complaints about the build several times after reading reviews on these (at that time I had no idea who Tiesto was, and just wanted it for the bass boost adjustment).

The build quality has been improved since though, the material is made a little bit sturdier than the original batches which were very fragile. I don't think they can be condeemed "sturdy" probably yet but at least people have reported it being looked at according to RMA cases.

I'd be pretty keen to hear from someone if they have tried these out, and how they compare to the other "usual suspect" basshead cans!

 

[RPGWiZaRD]

I would have probably tested these out if they wouldn't have had the bass emphasis so deep, centered at 30Hz won't do much from punch/impact point of view for EDM music kinda beats. Hardstyle that I'm personally listen to would sound excessively soft/punchless in the bass with such bass curve.

For something with Tiesto's name on it, you'd expect it to be a little more EDM suitable.
