isn't he using a Sony DAP? The Sony DAP's have an effect called clearbass or something. I myself just use my phones built in EQ to add 24db@50hz then flip the E11 bass boost switch to maximum. Can't make out the vocals cuz they drown in sub-bass when listening to/feeling "on my level"... You need a good way to EQ bass and an amp.

Yeah I have a pair of SZ's a Fiio E17 and a pretty good equalizer on my PC and I can easily make them vibrate to insane levels, but with 40mm can's like the krakens for example i was never able to achieve that level of bass to make the paper vibrate (without distortion) and I'm thinking maybe it's because of these DAP's
 
like do these mach3bass/clearbass effects add bass that you can't achieve with just an equalizer and an amp or am I just using my equalizer wrong?

not sure... Although how much bass boost at what frequency on your computer EQ?

... I guess my ears stick out quite a lot lol. The K240? I think my ears actually got squished down because of wearing them, plus there's foam covering the plastic... Still hurt even though there was foam though. On the WS77's, my ears are on the plastic directly with zero foam, and the pads aren't big enough imo to transfer bass hit very well. I'll go ask in a WS77 thread.

let us know if you find any third party pads that fix this issue for you

just measured how far my ears stick off my head... 8/10th of an inch. The pads are 5/10th of an inch deep.

I've the E17 which I paired with iPod and used this combo in a number of bass test videos - but to get better bass response I invested in the Cowon iaudio10 - the exact model HBB uses, in addition to the Fiio E12 amp.

The Cowon's jeteffects EQ is major factor in increased bass response though

For some reason I thought the WS77 were on ear, but just checking online, they're over ear?

Well that makes more sense if that's the case - sorry bro

O.K.,
So first a secondary market was created for the 55x with the purpose of getting their pads...now...the "whites"
 
Finding these will be like prying rainbows from the tight grip of Unicorns.
 
Good luck finding the Unicorn,...... then....yeah good luck with the prying if they EVER see this thread.
 

  you made me envy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hasn't Japan got herds of Unicorns running around already?

I guess the white 55x is new colour added to the range by JVC but I don't think it's a limited edition, so should be plentiful?

Saying that, JVC have them listed on their UK site but unavailable to order - like What? http://cdn.jvc.co.uk/xtremexplosives/

JVC got the 44X In white and in stock to buy direct but no 55X - it's as though they are troll teasing - lol https://www.jvceshop.co.uk/25-xx-series

I ended up buying them through eBay UK, but they were shipped from USA, so maybe Unicorn chasing is a good way to frame it until I guess white 55X's start rolling with stock everywhere else?

I only get can turn the 30-50hz frequencies up to 15db on the EQ I'm using, don't know if that is enough to achieve that bass level for the smaller cans though :|

I've the E17 which I paired with iPod and used this combo in a number of bass test videos - but to get better bass response I invested in the Cowon iaudio10 - the exact model HBB uses, in addition to the Fiio E12 amp.

Yeah I've noticed that and maybe I'll be getting one of those if there is no other way to achieve such level of bass without the iaudio10 

 

[Zaknin]

  Just a question about your Player, does it have bass settings like the MACH3BASS from the cowon dap's? 
 
just wondering how you guys put these 40mm cans vibrating so much o.o

Yup, it is  Sony's Clear Bass (+3) + E12 bass boost combined

Nice, just a question, how did you connect the fiio amp to the player?

Connected with Fiio L5 LOD, so no  volume control from player, only from E12

Got it, thanks for the info

After some tinkering with eq I have better eq suitable for my rig, maybe someone will find it useful
 
Warning: It sounds good only with hip-hop, maybe dubstep, tried to listen some 80's metal/random OST with this setting, sounds like s...t, worse than flat eq.
 
Clear Bass +3, Fiio E12 Bass boost on
Then you take this:

 
Play this:

And you'll have this:

Slam time

Damn those vibrations 

 
 
forgot to ask before, do you by any chance know that cable that connects your sony player to your computer?
