my headphones suck with bass

[tv_g]

i currently use cheap sony headphones, and all bass frequencies under 120 are almost cut off. is this a common problem with headphones, or is it time for me to hand over some money for better ones?

thx,
nic

I think you've BLOWN the deep end on your headphones...

You need new ones

my mates got sum Sony heaphones & they have no bass either. get some Sennheisers- they have phat bass!!!

I have sum Phillips IN-EAR headphones and they ahve sum MASSIVE BASS RESPONSE...and they dont bother people as much.

The IN-EAR headphones are the best way to go...
IF you can handle having them in your ears.

These headphones I use with my MP3 player have rubber cups so they stay in easier.

hmmm, i wouldnt use in ears. You need the closed cup design, to block outside noise..

agreed, you cant mix proper in a club with those imo

also Sennheisers make great sound but are flimsy as fuck, get something sturdy if you arent the type to look after them very carefully.

the pioneer ones are proper hardcore, like a sherman. bit pricey but worth it. or you can't go far wrong with the ol' sony mdrv700's.
and as for the in ear phones, they can really fuck your ears up if you have them at club volume as the frequencies are really concentrated on your eardrums, the same reason why your ears get tired after using them for a long time

I got these bad boys & they've lasted me 4 a longtime. Really robust & easy to carry & the quality from them is great.

The frequency range you get from them is mad good & they actually sit on your head properly

yeah, i think i know someone with them, though i may be wrong, but i like the whole being able to glip them up if that makes sense.. i know the ones im thinkin of can do that, and it is nice haha
man im talking crap

thanks y'all.

i decided to buy Technics RP-F550 DJ Headphones. The sale price on musician's friend fit my budget perfectly,

but they're on back order

Those suck man I barely use em anymore cuz they suck.. a bit incormfoartble.. freq response isn't all that.. and you don't get a clean sound... I'd suggest saving up for some $99 phones.. sony, pioneer, and senheisers are the best out there...

That's sucky news, but i jus' can't wait to save up right now. I've been w/out headphones for 2 weeks now. When I break down and start working again , i'll go ahead and get some better ones. I started the thread to start getting info, and the info has been good.

thanks all.
