See the above post. I wouldn't go with either if you want "Extreme bass." They both have punchy bass, but I'd hardly call it extreme. I'd go with the Ultrason HFI-780.

There's also the Sony XB1000: [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

But you'll need an amp for them. Something like a CMOY would be okay though. [ Register or Signin to view external links. ]

You'd still be within budget, and you'd probably have the bassiest headphone in your area! You'll send Beats owners crying.

I would personally go with a pair of in-ear headphones since they have good isolation. I'd recommend the Brainwavz M2 if you can afford them or the Xeport 5010 if you want to save money.

If you want on-ear headphones, the Koss Portapro and KSC75 are both amazing value and sound far better than their price would imply.

What would you consider "practical?" The Portapros are a pretty good value, as are the MEElectronic HT21 and Denon P372. The AKG K518 is awesome too. Probably the best option in this price range.

If you don't mind shoving things in your ears, the XePort 5010 is an amazing value ($15 for sound that's worth at least $50!) as are the, well, you don't really need to spend more if you want a bassy IEM under $50. I have the Brainwavz M1 and M3 (still want the M2) and the TOTL M3 doesn't make me as happy as the XePorts do.

The KSC75's are an awesome deal for the price, but since they don't really make a seal, they might not have enough bass for you. If you listen to rock or indie too, I can't think of a better value for the money, but for club music, it'll struggle a bit.

I would consider practical as easily carried around and store at for example school. The possible lack of bass in the KSC75's are kind of putting me off them now. Though at the same time im not on for shoving things in my ears like the XePort 5010's

I might just have to settle for what may be that bit less bass, lol

In my opinion, the Portapros (which are extremely similar to the KSC75) have quite a lot of bass. I would say they're the most bassy headphone I own! If you don't think they have enough bass, you can return them since Amazon is so nice about returns. Also, you haven't taken much of a loss in buying them! They're dirt cheap!

Trolling, not funny.

If you are not, give me SOMETHING, at least. I need at least a budget and a form factor. More if you're spending over $100, like musical tastes and such.
