What I don't understand is how these could have a "full Bass" experience when the Frequency response only goes down to 20 Hz (20 Hz - 20 kHz). So there is no way that these headphones could accurately reproduce the bass of today's modern music. I have seen headphones that go down to 5 Hz. I just wish I could remember which ones they were...lol
Can anyone recommend which headphones would be good for producing/referencing music?
Thanks :)

JelvisTo say a headphone has a bad bass just because it doesn't go down to 5Hz is ridiculous.

JelvisI'd check out the beyerdynamic DT series. The 770s are closed, the 880s are semi-open, and the 990s are fully open. They all have a frequency response of 5-35,000hz, I believe.

RyanMP1011This is where manufacturer gamesmanship comes in. Can you really hear 5 hZ. I know it can be felt with a big subwoofer, but does it really matter on headphones?

DABTPAI myself can't hear 5hz, but I can certainly hear from 10-20Hz. It's not a huge impact, but it's very low and rumbly. It's not that most bass is under 20Hz, but if a headphone is marketed as bass-oriented in any way, it should at least be able to hit 10Hz.
