@Rexx you definitely can't go wrong with Sony XB500's for great bass under $100.

Always look at the frequency range. Some "good" head phones share the same range as the bad ones.

Seconded @Von, any set in Sony's XB series will do you justice.

Honestly, frequency range is trivial in determining the overall quality of a set.

Are these any better/worse?: http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-XB600.../ref=pd_cp_e_3

I like the aesthetics better and its the same price.

Talon · 04-21-2013

Yup, those work too.

Von · 04-21-2013

Basically any pair in Sony's XB series are great if you want bass.

Sure. If you're ok with not hearing some tones.

Yup we tricked you, they're the worst for bass.

Dude, they even say "Extra Bass" on the Amazon thing. Plus I think XB is Xtra Bass.

There are, quite literally, no respectable headphones with a frequency range that doesn't exceed the average human's hearing range, let alone the frequency response found in music. The headphone's statistical frequency response is trivial in how the headphone sounds - the graph of the frequency response, or the the sound signature, is what determines the overall sound traits/qualities of a headphone.

OK i should have said something like this: you might not be able to hear 20hz, but you sure can feel it.

Or see it if that's your monitor refresh rate.

yo yo

are dedicated mp3 players like the zens or the sandisk sansa or some sony rubbish or god forbid an ipod gonna have significantly different sound quality with good headphones?
