Wait, I thought it was the garbage Asus Xonar sound card that didn't have bass?

The Xonar is an excellent sound card.

the OP should've bought DT770's on amazon when they were ~$130

and if he really hates the 555's so much, he should sell them and go buy 770's anyways, and probably a real amp, but thats besides the point

I'm not really concerned about that, his choice after all

john5220, you have some serious overreacting...
but happy you like them now.

BTW I was curious.

The HD280 PRO will you say that gives much better bass than the HD555?

Also I was told open headphones gives better bass than closed.

Missed that, but still, doesn't take away the point. I doubt you either read +10pages of comments before posting, do you.

Dude, seriously, you should probably take your headphones, and go relax with some music somewhere. Don't worry about whether or not they are giving you enough bass. It sounds like you wouldn't be happy with anything, so stop psyching yourself out, and just go chill.

come on, the Senns are good, just ever-so-slightly over priced.

that explains why I don't have any Senns.

........................OK, I'm gonna save you the trouble and give you one advice that will totally satisfy you. Save about 3000$ and buy AT L3000. The majority of people here on head-fi thinks that they have...acceptable bass quality and quantity. You won't regret it. I'm out.

You can feel a good clean speaker bass directly in to your stomach, but Headphones bass goes directly in to your brain, making it more creamy. That's why Bass fanatics look like drug addicts, the lucky one go deaf, the unlucky ones go crazy. And no, you can't sue nobody for this cause you have that information printed on the box or in the headphones manual.

sure it can, just attach two subwoofers to a headband and vuala. instant speaker like thumbing bass

You doubt wrong, good sir, but I am a rare case. It's generally a good move to read the most recent page to see if what you're discussing has been covered. No harm done, at any rate.

*facepalm*

I suggest that when it comes to the fundamentals, you should stop listening to people and start reading about headphones, this would be a good site to start from.
