What do you listen with ?

I would take clarity over bass anyday.

This is my thoughts when it comes to audio. I hook up my shitty 2.1 setup if I want a crap load of bass and volume when listening to electro.

Most of the time however I use a pair of Shure SRH840's since I used to do a lot of video editing and listening for cues was important.

I love these things, though I really would love to hear what they sound like with a nice headphone amp.


I've heard pretty good things about open phones, but I've never had a chance to try them.

I believe in clarity over volume, but I'd shoot myself before listening to a song without bass. The only thing better is melody.

I don't think either of us are saying that we want to listen without bass, My primary reason for liking studios monitors is that certain headphones flavor the audio with bass rather than trying to be a natural reproduction of the sound. Also my head hurts rather easily with overloaded bass.

The music I listen to already has a lot of bass; for general listening more doesn't mean better right next to my ears.
