shiny_car Posted November 8, 2004 Share Posted November 8, 2004 do headphones have decent bass? you surely don't 'feel' the bass like a good subbie/floorstander offers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuddbutter Posted November 10, 2004 Author Share Posted November 10, 2004 but is music about the what u hear or what u feal? i guess you could wire up a sub. everyone would hate you cause all they would here is sub bass haha.. i think there must be enough bass responce from there being so close you your ear's. but....

dazd Posted November 10, 2004 Share Posted November 10, 2004 yeah the quality, detail and resolution you can get from headphones is unbeatable and most good ones will prolli play 20-20000Hz easy but the problem is the lack of imaging and soundstage, and also the lack of visceral bass. Its there but you just cant feel it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bah Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Just back from Japan. Heard 5 different sets of the Stax headphones. Unfortunately the picture above wasn't available for audition. Listened to their entire range from 11k to 25k Yen (about $1.5k to about $3k AUD). Brilliant, just brilliant. No other headphone sounds the same anymore. The midbass openess and levels of midbass and bass were so clean. Very smooth. Yet as with all speakers, there is something to be picky about...just slightly sibliant on the 5 sets I've heard. Could be the recording...but it was a very high end store that sold many audiophile recordings as well. The speaker range there was just unbelievable. I spent an hour there undisturbed and could play with all the equipment without being pestered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
