Looking for the Ultimate Bass Headphones

Awesome 😎

I thought I was the only one looking for the same thing and I found it Sony MDR-XB950N1 If you grow up in 80s and 90s the only thing you care about is more bass!!

Vzr model ones are awesome

I gotta agree with you about the XM5 I also used a store demo pair and the Bass was totally distorting everything else. As for Bass heavy phones can't help ya there I don't like over powering bass lol.

Beats will do the job

Yo my man sounds like you need the Hifiman HE R9. Meze 99 classics are also known to be good for bass. But I’ve heard the HE R9 be described as Bass Cannons. I’m also trying to get my hands on the Ifi hip dac or zen dac for there xbass feature

I contacted Audeze about the maxwell Maxwell has a brand new driver design that was based on the original Mobius/Penrose design and is going to have a similar sonic signature.

One of the biggest improvements comes from the new housing. In the Penrose/Mobius housing the left and right side were not acoustically balanced due to the presence of PCB on one side, and the battery on the other. Buttons were also mostly on the left. With Maxwell, we have a dual chamber design. There is an inner housing that acoustically isolates the driver from the electronics. This alone makes a huge improvement.

Though the driver and voice coil design has been altered to meet the new physical dimensions (Maxwell uses a 90mm circular driver vs the Penrose's 100mm ovular design), you can expect the same world-class audiophile experience that you've come to expect from Audeze gaming headphones. Regarding the driver size, the actual active area of the driver is the same as Penrose and Mobius, and will not come at a loss in fidelity even though the Maxwell driver has a "smaller" diameter.

In terms of hardware, the Maxwell uses a newer more powerful dedicated DAC/AMP chip. The DSP is also much more powerful compared to Penrose. This gives us a much bigger dynamic range and lower noise floor compared to Mobius and Penrose.

In addition to this, Maxwell is going to incorporate several preset EQ modes, as well as have customizable and programmable presets so you can tune your Maxwell on-the-fly to any particular sonic signature you'd like at the flick of a dial.

We hope this helps!

have you tried jbl quantum 350. let me know your review.

Look at the Creative Aurvana Live! SE. It's one heck of a little headphone for the price with excellent bass. If you like that, you can jump up to it's bigger and much more expensive bass cannon cousin, the E-Mu Teak.

VZR model one has amazing bass, comfy sound as crazy as it sounds, its not in your face while being clear, more bass than razer blackshark v2 without sounding muddy. But over all sound, penrose is better other than bass. Ordered maxwell as well cant wait for it

What headphones do you like to use specifically for music? Or even movies?

If you aren't bothered by wires the Beyerdynamic MMX 300 with Dekoni earpads (either Choice leather or the Limited Edition angled pads for Beyer DT series headphones) has absolutely mind blowing bass. It does have the "mount Beyer" treble peak though. Never bothered me to be honest.

They’re going to break soon t one of the ear cups

Corsair HS60 have haptic feedback that is much better than what Razer uses (so I've read but they also seem cheapo). Vzr model one, which I have, are great. I felt my ears vibrating from the Dolby Atmos demo when the thunder plays (stock EQ). These dig DEEP. I don't want to oversell the VZRs but they definitely have quality bass (better than any beyerdynamic I've tried like the mmx300 with stock pads). I've tried the Penrose too but the VZRs definitely have better bass.

just EQ your penrose for personal taste. you wont beat the bass from those 100mm planar drivers. At least not in the sub $500 range.

I ordered the maxwell too. But for bass...fun bass I mean..then the crusher evos hands down. Feels like u are in a club. Other audiophile type of bass is not like fun type of sub bass. The crusher evos with that vibration thingy really gives an illusion of hard thumping sub woofer bass on your ears.

If you want bass, nothing beats the Skullcandy Crusher Evo.

Ever get your hands on the Audeze Maxwell?

Hi!
For what I've used, IQ Podz 06 are the bassiest. I know they are earbuds, but they offer superb sound quality and most importantly, bass.

Nuraphone has mad bass but only with immersion mode is enabled.

Try the Skullcandy Crusher ANC 2 ?

Skullcandy Crushers have THE MOST bass- period

Fostex TH- 900mk2 but they are not cheap and need some power.

Skullcandy crusher 360

Audio Technica G1 wired

Try Heavys headphones guys!! It's pure bass, rumbling and punchy bass. And man they are Fking loud 😂

So what did you choose? Curious, let’s get this thread revived

Same thing i want a very loud headphone that has extremely powerful Bass ( real bass not the vibration/fake one )

I used the aiaiai tma-2 studio with a fio amp with a bass boost. I wasn't expecting it but it became a subwoofer on your head. On to of that sound quality at higher frequencies is superb.
