Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! I discourage getting Grado.. It lacks bass.. trust me..☺ It's more on Highs and Mids.

Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! I beg to disagree.

For instance, in the Eagles' "Hotel California" from their Hell Freezes Over album, the intro is bass heavy. The SR80 rendered a punchier, crispier, stronger bass than the Solo HD.
And the Solo HD is 2x the price of the SR80i.Last edited by balibago; 02-12-2011 at 09:38 PM.

Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! Oh, what I meant was artificial bass since the TS prefers headphones with lots of bass best for R&B genres.. and you are referring to natural bass dat you hear when a bass guitar is playing ayt? Originally Posted by balibago

Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! wow thanks for the feedback, dami bigla ah hehe
umm.... tried grado before, and wasnt really my taste, not saying its not a good once, but its not what im looking for, im a bass head, i love the thumping, but also with clear sounds and no distortion
would love the sony xb700 but problem, its not that comfy on the long run...
so i guess i just have to try shure 750dj before i purchase it, anyone has one that i could at least try it on? hehe
akg ath50 was also one of my choice before, but i think bass was ok, normal for my ear compare to my bose AE1 and beats by dre ive tried... hence back on the hunt again... thanks again!

Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! Although a grado lover, I am fully aware that much of music appreciation is subjective. Whatever cans we put on, we share a common pleasure in listening to good music, which again is, of course, subjective.

Re: Help audiophiles!! headphone purchase! You can audition AKG k81 and 181dj at Audiophile..They also sell Shure 750dj but if it is sealed, it can't be tested. HTH
