Good bassy earphones?

Can anyone recommend any good earphones with lots of bass...

I'm looking for non-in-ear earphones. I get the feeling they're bad for your ears... Though I must admit they sound amazing!

Thanks!

 

In-ear is not bad for your hearing...it's only when you listen at really high levels do you have to worry.

The Etymotic ER6i is consistently a top-rated in-ear noise-isolating headphone. Otherwise I'd go for a mid-range Sennheiser over-the-ear...something around $60-$75 will please most people.

Just avoid Bose at all costs.

 

If cost is an issue, I've always been extrememly pleased with all my Sony headphones. I recently bought a pair of bose over-hear headphones from bestbuy that were $120, but sound amazing. Shure is another great brand, but I've only had in-ear from them.

 

If you can get over the in-ear fear (it's all the same level when it gets to your ear drum), the Future Sonic Atrio would probably suit you. Otherwise, I'd look at a good sealed circumaural design to get the best bass response. Probably Ultrasone or AKG would be a good place to look, depending on your price range.

Agreed, avoid Bose like the plague.

 

IEM's aren't any harder on your ears then cans, unless you get an ear infection from the tips being dirty(never happened to me but I've heard of it). As for recommendations I'm with Ethyriel, Future Sonic Atrio M5/M8's for the IEM's and some Ultrasone HFI-780's for cans. The Atrio's cost less than 150$ and the Ultrasone can be found for 200$

 

Sennheiser make the best headphones. They are also usually the best quality for the value.

 

I'm a big fan of sennheiser but I wont go so far as to say they're the best. It just totally depends on what type of headphones you need, sennheiser is good with open aire headphones, but for closed ones then theres better companies. Even on a budget, you might come across a better deal. That being said though, I've been happier with my cheap PX100's for the price than pretty much any other headphones.

 

Syndrome is like the Headphone expert on NBR ...btw even i am a fan of Sennheiser ...even their cheapest earphones sound better than anything else.

For Bassy Earphones checkout CX300 ...they offer HUGE bass that ll satisfy any basshead.

they are under $100.

and like others said avoid Bose.

Bose means Buy Other Sound Equipment. ...their products are good but sound average at best.

 

Thanks all

The reason I don't like in-ear earphones isn't for the volume. It's just that my doctor tells me not to use q-tips because they expand your ear canal. I just came to my own conclusion that in-ear earphones do the same thing too. It's obviously not confirmed, but I don't want to take any chances...

What's bad about bose?

I'll look more into sennheiser

 

Bose sound ok, but just ok, and they charge audiophile prices for them.

 

Bose does not produce good headphones, they can produce good audio systems but not headphones.

Philips is good to and Sony.

 

I personally think that in-ear headphones are actually better for your ears for a good reason.

1) they passively isolate external noises/sounds so that you don't have to turn your headphone volume up too high in order to hear your music
2) (this may not be an issue for you... but) I find active noise-cancelling in large headphones very irritating.

A brand I really like are the V-moda Bass Freq. They are only $35 on Amazon, very good bang for the buck. The earphones pack a very nice bass.

Con: The wires themselves are a little flimsy, so these headphones aren't in for harsh and careless treatment. (V-moda does provide a 1 year warranty, however, which is nice)

 

I've always been a fan of Grado headphones, but then, those are more for music than they are for "bass response" (although some of the higher SR models are amazing)

I'd recommend going somewhere and listening to a bunch of headphones before buying them. You'll hear things a lot differently than someone's review.

Also, as previously mentioned a headphone amp is a great idea. Google "altoids headphone amplifier". pretty neat.

 

I have a pair of vmonda. They're in ear buds. They're *very* comfortable.. can easily forget they're in if not for the noise coming out of them The sound is quite good too.

They're not the best for for the size and price I'm pleased. I wanted something in-ear so I could go walking with them.

I think this might be what I have: http://store.apple.com/us/product/T...phone/iphone_accessories/headsets&mco=MTc3NzE

 

Ultimate Ears super fi 5EB.......the EB stands for extended bass....which they have a lot of,they are also one of the cheapest dual driver earphones and thus still get nice high range as well because of having a dedicated tweeter and woofer.

I bought Shure SE210 and 420's before these and thought they had next to no bass....they fitted in your ear much better than the UE's though.

In ear speakers can take a bit of getting used to,but their noise isolation is the best thing about them,like someone said earlier,you don't have to turn them up loud to get excellent sound.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826106306&Tpk=hd202 one of the best budget ones u can get
that's the sennheiser hd202

 

Please dont flame me for this.. but skullcandy Full Metal Jackets 11mm. I have a pair and they bump if thats what you want. I love my fmj's

 

thanks but I'm looking for earphones, I already have a headset

 

I love my Sennheiser PX100s. Best bang for buck headphone in the market IMO. The px200 are a bit more pricey but have better bass from what I hear. The only fault of the px100s is that the sound is slightly soft.

 

If you want affordable in-ear headphones, go with the JVC Marshmallows. They're awesome for bass.
