I come from the time ok Klipsch Image S4’s, Monster Turbines, Denon headphones… I think the Philips Fidelios were in there… I don’t remember the others…

But none of those are made anymore. What are the current offerings? Also amps or DAP’s? Do Sony’s still have their Clear Bass? I remember it being amazing on an MP3 player but is pretty Meh in the app for my XM5’s

    Well if you have the budget for them, Audeze LCD-2’s/2 Classic and some EQ can do some awesome sub-bass.

    ZMF and Fostex are solid. Otherwise it’s IEMs

      People are saying the LCD-X’s are better?

      I’m fine spending $800 on the LCD-2’s because they are universally praised and they use to be like $2000.

      Some the like the new Denon’s or IE900’s or the Sony MDR-X1R’s and IER’s are hard for me to swallow…

        The LCD-X are better out of the box but they’re basically the same as the 2.

        The LCD 2 Classic are $800. The LCD 2 are $1k.
