i found the e11 to be a great little portable amp, however, im not a big fan of its bass boost. i found it changed the music too much. when i searched the internet i found that like most bass boosting amps, the e11s boost starts at ~1KHz and rises from there, which would explain the difference in sound that i felt.
i think most hardware bass boosters are this way and i find it rather annoying, which is why i stick to software eqing, which leaves it up to me to decide where the boost begins.
the zo2, though i have never owned or heard one, has a boost that starts from ~300 Hz, which makes alot more sense in my humble opinion.

Hi All,
I bought a Dt770 premium 32ohm headset with velours pads. Was expecting a bass monster. But it wasn't at all. i would almopst call it neutral or even a treble headphone. Definitely not bassy.
is the pros 80ohm the bass monsters?
i have the 250 ohm version, but from what i hear, the differences in sound signature between versions isnt as big as its made out to be. however, the 80 ohms are indeed considered to be the bassiest of the lot, but i cant vouch for that myself.
i agree with you, the beyer treble is a bit harsh, and no, the dt 770s arent as bassy as their reputation suggests. they are very bass capable though. with some eqing you can easily turn them into head rattling, ear drum punishing bass monsters, and you can also attenuate that treble if you like.
