Hey guys, I got bad news, my MacBook just broke so I won't be able to update the list as regularly as I did before.

 

[SoulSyde]

I'm happy to take over the responsibilities.  We could ask a Mod to close this thread and I can start a new one with all of the info in the OP.

I haven't heard too much on those, but I believe that they deliver in the bass category. What I'm concerned about is the overall sound quality as many lower end in ears are tuned to be very bass heavy while greatly sacrificing other areas of the spectrum, resulting in a muddy and veiled sound. 

 
I can't say I'm an audiophile, so I won't be able to describe it to anyone perfectly. I listen to dubstep/house/hiphop/r&b mostly. For these, I prefer the JVCs over the m9/m6/m11. They bass is much more impactful, feels deeper(?) . The mids and highs are clearer than the m9s and are about the same as m11s. I guess you would say m6 has a more 'balanced' sound if I'm not mistaken.
I also prefer these over the Klipsch S4 as well. So for the $14 I got them for, or what seems like around $20 on amazon, they are a steal.
They are also alot easier to drive, where I use lower volumes than m9/m6/m11
 
But rest assured, they are very bassy so cheers to that basshead club!
 
Give me another week or so and I'll let you know how they compare to 750DJ's ... haha
 
EDIT: I haven't burned them in yet either, these are upon a few hours of testing (no amps or anything, from my alienware laptop/desktop/samsung focus

I doubt that will be necessary, my desktop is still working, but I'll only be able to update the thread once a day since I'm not home all the time. Thanks for offering to help

No worries.  Sorry about your MacBook BTW.

Hi fellow bass heads! What do you recommend for the STRONGEST BASS? I currently have the miles Davis tributes which actually satisfy me and bass because they sound HUGEEE like in the song: in The air- extended mix ( sultan and nerd sheapard) I love how that beginning bassline makes me say omg but I want MOAR power since I'm gonna be using the computer a lot more with the FIIO desktop amp.
 
 
POWER BASSSSS what do u recommend? I tested some XB500 in best buy and the miles davis'bass sounded louder, so please, I WANT MORE oh and consider that the MDT's are 500 dollar phones so quality is a must, budget is like 200 something.

 

[MorbidToaster]

The ultimate would probably be a ZO powered Pro 900.

His budget is $200, although the bass boosting ZO could be nice for him
 

 

[MorbidToaster]

I know, I was just sayin'.
 
Seriously though a ZO may not be a bad chunk of your budget...or a used Pro 750. 
 
ZO and a Koss pro DJ100 could be sweet. It's not a super bass headphone, but the bass is there. With the smooth bass boost of the ZO the DJ100 could be an excellent bass centric all rounder. That'd be right around budget.

In my opinion, the "best" would be the DX1000, which has probably the best bass of any headphone I've ever tried; it's hard-hitting only when it needs to be. I can't speak exactly for the MD, but it kills my MTPC and MTPG. The downside is that they're around $1000. (I've never heard the L3000, which is said to be the best best, but don't ever look up stuff about it because I can almost guarantee you'll be wanting a pair.)
 
Back to earth, the ZO paired with basically anything should be sufficient for your needs. I particularly like my ZO with a cheap planar-magnetic, but that requires another amp in the way.

 

[MorbidToaster]

Around 400 bucks. I'd suggest the ZO2 if you go with one. The Pro 900 can be found around 300 most places.

Any idea how those would sound with; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl_auIg1Dtk   or   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXXzUh7N_Z8 @ 0:55 (really fast paced) and last but not least, with  HUGE BASSSSSline at start; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ge7YR77jHwQ

D1100 has tight, big punchy bass with a lot of impact but it sounds like typical headphone's bass, not enough subbass presence. It's mostly midbass hump ~100Hz. And I agree with the others about picking up a ZO2, then you don't have to worry so much about which headphone you pick, ZO takes care of giving you that slamming bass you're looking for, I think it's the best sounding bass boost in an amp, easily beats FiiO's.
