Would these headphones be good for bassy music like trap? Another thing, I have fairly large head would the clamping force make these painful ?

I've got a big head and their very light and comfortable!! If you like a lot of bass they may not be for you! I love the sound but I don't like a lot of bass!

Yes, they're fine at the range. That's what I bought them for. But, I always use them them with ear buds. The slim profile is nice and theydon't get in the way. But, the "clamping power" of the headband really puts pressure on your melon.

These are not large headphones. I've tried them with people who have big heads and small heads and no one has ever complained. Usually with headphones you have to worry about them being too small. It's definitely worth a shot.

The headphones give excellent sound quality--no argument! Lovely sound quality! However, they are heavy and the band would start irritating the top of my head if I wore them for more than an hour or so. Even when I tried to adjust them, they would still start hurting the top of my head. I ended up giving them away because i couldn't figure out how to use them for long periods of time. If you need them only for short periods they should be great. If for long periods, you might do better with something else.

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.

I think these are more of your normal sit and listen headphones. They are not particularly sporty for that use I think? I think if you want that, you might need ones that go stick inside your ears as opposed to cup over them.

They have a lot more bass "response" than regular, cheap ear buds. And they don't have to be perfectly positioned to get the bass. People who like Hip Hop or strong bassline music will find it them punchy.They still suffer from the same limitations of earbuds in this price range. They are not hi fidelity by any means. It hasn't mattered if I run them straight through an mp3 player, laptop generic sound interfaces or dedicated headphone amps. But hey, for the price, they're fine.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

Hit answer by mistake; they are good headphones; I would cation if used for extended use and confirm the return policy of the seller. Then wear them for the day see how they feel. Good luck in your search.

I noticed the other person's response to your question talked about clamping pressure. These are some what heavy but very comfortable. The pads are soft too. Bottom line, these "smoke" any headphone I own under $300 in quality of construction. Sennheiser and AKG could learn something from these folks.

I don't know that they are 'recommended' per any professional reviews, but since the bass on these is not as strong as the AKGs I have, they would work well for music that does not utilize extremely low frequencies as heard in underground electronic music with 808 or rap/pop.

From my experience, these headphones weren't comfortable for more than 30 minutes at a time. I don't know if it's because I have a small head, but these sat quite heavy atop my head and I couldn't bear them for long.

I use them for djiing in short periods of time (40min-2hrs) and i haven´t had that kind of problem. On the contrary, after a while, basses get tighter, its my impression. The only issue i find is that the back of the speakers get hot after a while on high volume. But no compromising of sound quality at all. (Sorry for my english)

It's obviously subjective and hard to describe, but I would say not tight at all -- I find most headphones unbearable (especially Sennheiser HD280s, even after breaking in and using for months), but these are quite flexible with enough clamp to stay on your head. I own several sets in the $100-150 range, and this is the most comfortable set by far. Hope that helps!

Hello. I actually would not recommend these headphones at all. They were a gift to my 30 y/o son. He treated them very gently, but one of the wires came loose and he got static on that side. He returned them but it took many contacts with the seller, and many promises of a refund, before they finally came through. I read several reviews that don't recommend these at all. Good luck

Audiophile grade headphones are not for BassHeads... They produce audio that is as close to reference as possible, if you want extra bass, you want cheaper, crappy sets like what are produced by "Beats by Dre", that destroy the sound quality for added bass.
