Atrio MG7's will give you sub bass even more then JH13 or 16 which cost over 1,000 dollars.

money does not equal bass, look at the sony xb500s.

TFTA XB1 blow both of those away in everything, new technology.

"Thin Film Technology is a passive dynamic-balancing system, combining acoustic know-how and material knowledge achieved by placing a thin film inside the housing. This creates and combines a deeper, wider sound quality with sub bass capability and enhances frequency range with higher fidelity." 
 
So...they have damping. 

 
Paul@TFTA still hasn't answered me. 

 I want to hear these things. I'd love to compare them to the MTPG and my current favorite bass monster, the XePort 5010 with black ports. 
 
And what about the XB500's? They have ideal venting and a driver tuned for bass. That's what's needed for quantity, but I can safely say that they are one of my least liked headphones of all time because of their sloppier than sloppy joe bass unEQ'ed. Even with the minimal EQing my DAP can do, they still sounded abysmal in everything else.

I've decided to get the DT990 Pros with the E10 for my computer and the Zo2....that should have it all, bass, especially with Zo2, huge soundstage, since they are open, amazing quality/detail/clarity...o snap they are about 165, zo2, 100 and e10 is 75.  You'll never need another thing

If you guys haven't checked out ineedmorebase's under $200 poll yet, do it. Some interesting discussions going on there.

Very interesting indeed! But the dt990 pros with the zo2 seem like the perfect headphone for EVERYTHING

Aw crap! Now I'll have to get rid of my Ultrasones and Westone 3. I'll call Sennheiser, AKG, Audio-Technica and the rest of the gang and tell them to close up the shop. 
 
Who'll call all the amp makers and tell them to do the same?
 
Well at least I'll save a ton of money now that I don't have to get custom IEMS to get the best possible sound at the office without disturbing my colleagues.
 
PS: I am amazed that the DT990 pro even beat the TFTA XB1! I thought they were untouchable!

 

[TehJam]

Lol. Good stuff. 
 
 
Edit:
 
Wow those XB1s had 1 WHOLE REVIEW. So I should listen to one whole opinion right? 
 
One mans treasure is another mans trash.
