I got Ebony recently beacuse I want the best bass headphone, I have bose QC25 and sony XB950BT, also I use Fiio x3 iii player and Fiio A3 amp, when compare bass between them I feel there is no big difference. they all sound good and close sometime I feel sony is better.
Did I miss something? or they are really close bass
srca1401Yes, you miss proper amplification.
And don't forget that new drivers need time to burn-in, ~40h for this model. The sound will change a bit after that. I noticed changes in bass quality and treble became smooth and pleasant after leaving headphone playing at normal listening level for 2 days.
srca1401Depends on budget and purpose (portable vs desktop).
The best thing you can get for money that would fit for both portable and desktop use is chord mojo.
If it is out of your price range then please define the top possible amount you can spend on amp.
srca1401This is a bit late, but honestly, I wouldn't worry about an amp for these. Yes, they probably do scale up a bit, but they're extremely easy to drive, and everything I've used my th600 on sounds loud and clear.
You may just not appreciate the type of bass they put out which is: Really tight and fast with very little bloom for a dynamic, as well as very textured and deep bass. It may even sound somewhat bass-light on some genres as it has loads of kick but little bloom. Nothing wrong with preferring other types of bass.
May I ask, what type of music do you listen to?
bgav66well, I listen mainly to nu metal and trance, but I like other genre . except old records like 70s, 60s
what i want to say earlier, really is this the best bass headphone ever!!
compared to my 80$ sony headphone, there is no real, big difference in bass quality.
so I thought, may be something is missed here.
i am so disappointed
