I listen to a lot of rock and music that's heavy in bass and drums. But I've been deciding on whether HD 202 or 203. Which is better for my music?

I mostly use my Sony Walkman NWZ-S545, which has a 5-band equalizer. I equalize it for powerful bass and low mids. My favorite song to test sound quality is Neon Knights by Black Sabbath, as it has extremely powerful bass and percussion. I recently bought the HD 202 II, and I personally think they are the best headphones in market for that price, the sound quality and power is marvelous. I have not tested the 203, however within the 2xx series, I think it is all pretty much the same when it comes to power outcome (I think).

either, both have good bass response, and I listen to a lot of Travis Barker drum solos and that sounds great as well. I have 202.

I have no experience with the HD 203. I have also only used the HD 202 with an I pod that has downloaded music from multiple sources. The drums and bass sounds good but not all encompassing. These were the best headphones I could find at this price point. I play bass and I am not unhappy with the sound.

CX200 is better because is capable with low frequency waves. It means better bass experience.

Depends on music type. The bass is nice. Electronic music sounds real nice. Rock/metal could use some work.

If you are playing heavy bass driven music (electronica/rap/etc) we would recommend the DD-15. With the Impact-12 you will have a great experience for a home theater, but it will not have the deep punches you need for the types of music mentioned.

Thanks for your question. They both have great bass, the 88 has more articulate bass. They are wonderful sounding headphones.

THE DT-210 seems to have most of the same features as the dt- 200x but it does have more preset station capability. I am very happy with the one I have but have never tried this model.

I've owned both and they are both good headphones. The Inspiration are on the heavier side compared to the extremely light weight Momentum. I was happy with the sound with both headphones but the Momentum are definitely better at everything.

Both. DNA's are truly made much better than any Bose I've seen. Now some Bose may have a slightly better sound but overall the Monsters are a better product. DNA's sound is very balanced and clean. I listen mostly R and B and Rap so they're perfect for me. I do have county, as well as rock in my catalog and I have no complaints. You can't go wrong with Monster DNA!

the 32ohm version is made to be run off just about anything, and still retain good volume and dynamics. the 80ohm is tuned for a bit more bass than the other models. at 80ohm it sits on the border of needing or not needing an amp. I personally thought it needed one when I listened to it out of my phone. the 250ohm definitely needs an amp, and is the most balanced sounding of the 3 versions. it's far from a balanced headphone though. I only say balanced in comparison to the other ohm versions of the same headphone. the 250ohm version is really made for a studio plugged into monitoring equipment. doesn't mean you cant use it at home, but you have to have an amp. just remember this with headphones, the lower the ohm, the more likely it will sound good just plugged right into a source. as the ohm goes up, volume and dynamics start to suffer, to the point that a separate amp will be required. if you don't want to use an amp, get the 32ohm.

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music).

I mostly use HDTracks, but there are ay least a couple of others, including a new one called something like ProStudios that I have yet to try. I stick to 96/24 and on this player they sound great! Yes, they are more expensive, but I usually wait for a sale, 10 - 15% off, and the usual price for popular music is around 18 bucks, before discount. If you want to burn these to disc, you have to use a program, at least as far as I know, that burns them to DVD. I think that program is called Cirlinca HD - Audio Ultra. Have fun!

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

i think akg is better. but if you usually listening music is bass. i recommend you usimg hd598. akg's feature is clear sound not bass sound. it is good at classic, pop song. if you like a movie you should choice the hd598.

The bass is great. Not overkill like The Beats By Dre. These are more for a listen if a Variety of Music. Beats By Dre cater to the hip hop listener. The Monster NPulse have great HI's and Mids.

The bass is good but If you want better ones get the HD but I don't recommend sleeping with these they are a bit bulky.

honestly neither are great for that. the hd598 might have more bass than the akg, but its still not going to give you strong sub bass in general. the hifiman he400 or beyerdynamic dt990 would be a much better open headphone for bass. they both have decent sub bass impact and quantity. I don't have the akg, but I do own the hd598, and it just doesn't so sub bass well at all. not a big deal for classic music and vocals, but for electronic music, forget it. I also own the he400 and that does sub bass very well, especially for an open headphone. I wouldn't say they're bass canons, but they hit much harder than any open headphone I've heard yet. hope that helps. honestly neither are great for that. the hd598 might have more bass than the akg, but its still not going to give you strong sub bass in general. the hifiman he400 or beyerdynamic dt990 would be a much better open headphone for bass. they both have decent sub bass impact and quantity.

The 6 is excellent...so is the 10. I've heard both as well. I think the real magic is happening in the bass module. I think it's the same for both the 6 and 10. If money is not a factor I would let the size of your entertainment space dictate your choice. You won't regret either choice.
