Suggestions for headphones with good bass response.

lemme ask u this. a lot of ppl say the wire response sound is terrible and intolerable. is that true?and would you know how full metal compare to Titans?

No problem with the wire response. I listen to them with everything from rap to metal and they sound better than any pair I have used. I haven't heard the titans just the FMJ's and the inks which were **** good for the price.

sennheiser cx300b

I orginially bought mine for around 70-90 when they were new. Can be had now for cheap. They sound really **** good. PC magazine once reviewed it a few years ago as a set of earphones with powerful bass for the cheap.

Sony MDR-V6. They've been around forever and are still really good sounding headphones. They play the entire spectrum of music all the way down to 20 hz with great authority.

They look good. do they have strong bass?

will look into those.

Why would you need an adapter?

You wont be disappointed if you get them. I can guarantee you that. Just be careful if you buy them online. Their are alot of fake reproductions that sell really cheap that arent actually from sennheiser.

I just got the Sennheiser CX300-B off amazon a month ago for my ipod, and I used them on a 9hr flight to Guam and they did good job of cutting out the plane noise and the bass was excellent as well.

nobody mentioned Shure. i guess they r good but not really for bass?

the shures I have and had are good for it but if you are looking for distorted bass then they wont be good for you. The e2gs I had were very nice the newer ones I got not as much but still better than bose for less money too. The shures seem like a nice even quality sound the bass is there and so are the mids and highs. I think they do well on all music.

I don't know how the shures will hold up to a burp at 47 htz if that's what you want to know

ell oh ells

I personally wouldnt try a brand that is obviously all about being flashy. Especially when its targeted at teens.

Sennheiser PMX 100

Grado SR 60

Koss Porta Pro

AKG K 414 P

Out of the lot, I'd recommend the Senn's and the Koss as the front runner for powerful, clean bass that play deeps for a headphone.

I am the official headphone authority. I own just about every headphone on the face of the planet. For your price point, those are excellent options to read up on.

Also, you can achieve much better bass response from a headphone with a small headphone amplifier.

Double post.

For accuracy, yes.

For bass response, not necessarily //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif...

For an all around great IEM, accurate with good output I'm really enjoying my new Phonak Audeo PFE.

If you are looking for bass... I would definitely recommend these

http://reviews.cnet.com/headphones/maximo-im-490s-imetal/4505-7877_7-32510453.html

I got them on woot one time, for like 20 bucks but after hearing them, wouldn't hesitate to pay the $40 retail. For the price, I don't know of any other headphones with deeper, better sounding bass.

my vote gets these if your looking for crazy bass in headphones....

spent alot of time on head-fi before i bought my phones i have now

for alot of bass they reccommend the Atrio M5s alot, http://www.futuresonics.com/atrio/index.html

little bit more money though

or the ulitmate ears Superfi extended bass, but they are bulky, have a "sub" built in

http://www.ultimateears.com/_ultimateears/store/products/superfi5eb.php

they denon headphones are nice, dont remember much about the bass response though

http://www.usa.denon.com/ProductDetails/3782.asp

can be had online for ~80 i think

kicker has some new heaphones out, im curious to what they would sound like

i originally went on to spend like 50-80$ but by the end of head-fi i worked my way up to a set of Sleek-audio SA6's, they are tunable headphones, great sound imo, you can customize the sound to what you like
