Since you are looking for bassy headphones I would look to Sony XB series. If you just need good closed headphones - check ATH-M40x, AKG K553, Senns HD598C, Monoprice 8323.

Well, the Noontec Zoro 2 comes in mind, but the problem is, it has a different sound sig than what you prefer. The PortaPros are also good, but sound sig is again, different (especially so since it's an open headphone, thus lacking in subbass response and then also leaks a ton of sound). You can, however, go and try some IEMs. RHA MA750 and Shure SE215 are both a compelling option, and they have the bassy sound that you might like
If you're going to find an 'endgame' for these kind of sound sig though, I think you can try and check out some Audeze LCD series (The 2 is good, and right now it's less than 1 thousand, which is a good pick if you want those), and then there's the Fostex TH900, with ridiculously fun amount of subbass that can rumble and tickle your spine. Also, there's the ZMF Atticus. Slightly bloomy bass response, but at around half the TH900, this is also an awesome pick if you want that boom boom bass.
EDIT: Might wanna check out on Audio Technica M50x perhaps. Seems like it's gonna be rather bassy too. Perhaps it's a bit better than your current Mixr.

Koss Porta Pro $50. The audiophile gateway drug. It has better sound signature than Beat Solo2.
Also, Amazon Lightweight On-Ear headphones $15. I kid you not. These don't win in the style department, but they sound a hell of a lot better and less congested than Beats do.

Like with most headphones, you'll damage your hearing before you get too loud for the headphones

If you like Beats the V-Moda XS is usually a good transition to better gear, they are similarly priced now but the beats were more upon release:

Well your not getting wireless functionality, but Audio Technicha's have really good sound and you can find really good ones that are not too pricey

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

What would be a good portable Dac/Amp to use with my HD6xx and Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone?
I am new to this hobby. I purchased a HD6XX and plan to use it with my Sony Xperia 1 V cell phone, that has a 3.5mm jack. I was wondering if I needed a portable dac/amp or just a portable amp and if so what would one recommend? Any assistance one could provide, would be greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Haz

Invest in Balancing my HD6xx headphones?
Hi... I'm a songwriter/producer. I have Drop Senn HD6xx HPs. I just bought a Topping L30 II SE HP amp to enhance my monitoring. It honestly sounds pretty good. The audio interface I'm using (an Audient iD22) has balanced outs. For those of you who've listened to the HD6xx using balanced amps and cables, do you think I should invest in that kind of setup to take advantage of the Senns potential?

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
