**Koss KPH40**. I've got headphones a lot more expensive, but this gets like 90 percent of the headtime. Alternatively, if we're talking of over ears then **HD600** with the bass boost of **ifi Zen Dac**. Its lightweight, comfortable, durable, self-servicable and sounds good enough to the point where I don't feel the need to upgrade (until a much higher price point, but idk if I'll still go for headphones or a speaker system at that price).
"but I never expected any bass out of these style of headphones anyway" Bro hasn't tried Koss Kph40 yet. It has pretty good bass in the same style factor.
For sure, I wasn't pitching you to buy them, but rather along the lines of: if you ever get to try them keep a lookout. I'm a basshead and I'm satisfied with my Kph40 (with EQ tho).
I'm relatively cheap.. so I use: * Open-back : Koss KPH40X * IEM : GK Kunten - with an updated cable and liquid silicone eartips
KPH40s with Oversized Earpads from Koss :)
I recently bought these headphones and man they are amazing! Very good bass However it does not block sound that much so make sure you are in a quite room. While it is precise, it is not THAT precise. Footsteps may be a tad bit vague, so it is better suited for Casual gaming. Overall, A solid 8.5/10
Sucks that it has broken on me every year when used moderately. Else yeah sound quality is great for the price.
I have these and the KPH40 and the Moondrops are better for female vocals, but the Koss are better for games that go boom boom.
Im a huge metalhead. I picked up the Apos Rock Lobster IEMs for $50 bc they are tuned specifically for metal and rock and I have to say that are really good for the money. but if you def want headphones koss kph40s
Como poseedor de unos Koss Kph40 te puedo decir que los audifonos abiertos son capaces de generar bajos profundos y extendidos en rango, una verdadera chulada, un bajo audiófilo por menos de 50 dólares.
