I wasn't too impressed by the few Audio-Technica or Beyerdynamic headphones I tried out. There were all (I assume) good headphones in the $200-$300+ range, but they had absolutely no bass imo.

These brands have been recommended from audio forums and from people I know, so I'm not sure if maybe I'm just too much of a "bass-head" for them, or if they were faulty ones at the store, or are they meant to be used with an amp or something?
To get the fuller sound on bigger headphones you need some sort of an amp imo -- my m50's sound pretty meh un-amped, but once you amp them they sound a lot livelier


also, scored a set of ATH-AD900's for secret santa
