My 702s get quiet when there is heavy bass. Is this normal for 702s?

What I've noticed is that when I hear a phone or laptop sound is good, but not as loud and the bass is not as clear. Otherwise, the headphones sound great in amplifier. The heavier bass, stronger sound as long as it does not reach the limit distortion.

I haven't done a heavy bass type of mix with these headphones yet. lower Freqs has much more engergy than higher Freqs , so very heavy bass can sometimes drown other frequencies . My best advice is to try and listen to same song using studio monitors, good speakers or even high-end flat headphones and compare.

I have not experienced that but I wonder what kind of amp you are driving them with.

Mine does not have this issue. Sounds like to me u are having power issues. Is your amplifier powerful enough for these headphones?

Yes. The majority of headphones have an EQ curve that boosts the bass and high frequencies. For audio reference purposes I need the 702s for a very flat response. In between mixing I often boost the bass in the EQ for just listening to music for the fun of it. Different headphone amps may be of help with this issue. Be aware that the mastering of audio content and differences in compression can have an affect. Just to make sure. The bass heavy song you mention. Are the 702s missing completely bass frequencies or that it is more a subtle bass response?

I have not had my pair ever do that. They play all sound ranges great. Best pair of headphones I have had. Had a pair of AKG 240's before. Very natural uncolored sound. Not heavy over loaded bass like Beats or Bose.

I don't notice that, but I don't listen to much music with heavy bass - I listen mostly to baroque chamber music and folk.

They determine the midrange output ( I think more or less bass) I played with mine and didn't really experience a difference. I have mine set in the middle.

Mine also says it is 165W, but the bass is massive. I've got the dial on the back only turned up about 25%. Maybe you got a bad connector cord? Did you use the calibration microphone? Good luck!

I have not had any issues with mine. Some folks reported issues with buzzing, but was related to the speaker not being tightened down correctly. Buzzing without your bass plugged in sounds like a ground loop problem. Have you tried powering it from a filtered source? (I use a Furman PL-8 which was already inmy guitar rack)

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

I have had mine for 2 years now, and have found the bass soften over that time as the diaphragms were worn in. at the start I found them slightly too much bass but that has changed with some time.

I am using the amp with the Yamaha 775 pre outs, and it is not louder but cleaner, especially at higher volumes.

I have personally never owned the XB700's but they definitely have more bass than the original XB300's. I would also describe these XB920's as having more "accurate" bass.

Also, Jeff: Even after all the electrical questions are answered, this still makes a low level hum which might be annoying. Having tightened all the external screws on mine, the hum was far less but could still be heard during the silence between musical tracks or even with very quiet passages.

It has a little bit of growl but it's hard to say as the amp does not hit record breaking sound levels. Do not know what a 7100 sounds like so cannot compare the amps. Yes, too quiet for session work.

These subs hit hard and I only have the volume turned up maybe a quarter of maximum. I rarely use the boost function and I keep the frequency at about 55Hz. The limiter has never come on and I've pushed them for the longest 7 hours. The bass is so heavy that I don't have to turn the sub up too far because it will drown out my main speakers. It's a quality sub that I highly recommend.

I play most of my music on the high side (partially deaf) but never experienced any vibration. Did you try adjusting how you wear them? I noticed more bass when I love them a little lower. Good luck. I really like mine great for walking and biking so I can still hear traffic etc. I think if you somehow got a bummer pair the company will replace or reimburse.

The minimum cu ft of air space per sub is .70. You won't get the deepest bass out of them, more punchy and tight.

I got these for Xmas & they start to crackel at around 50%. maybe it is because i am using on board sound, not sure. They are great speakers but not impressed with the bass at higher volumes.

Probably, I find it noisy in the effects loop of my amp. Not so much directly into input.

I heard a lot of noise as well, that is before i bought a dedicated audio interface, like an m-audio m-track, preSonus, focusrite, etc.. If you're not using one, then i'd say get that first. I have no noise now at all settings. From -30db, and i usually have my speakers set at the +6db and nothing. i'm also using the 1/4" to 1/4" plug into the balanced inputs. If you're using an audio interface, then i'd say call customer support and get it fixed.
