Best Closed Headphones For Bass

I have been reading about these beauties for some time. I have a home studio with no shortage of high quality headphones for tracking but they are all closed-back style for noise isolation. Many pros insist that open-back headphones are best for mixing because of accuracy, a lack of bass buildup and reduced ear fatigue. Although the HD600s are advertised as "audiophile" phones, I have repeatedly seen them reviewed as being some of the most accurate units around for professional mixing as well. B&H had them on a special and I took the leap. When they arrived, like all new transducers, they were a little stiff and needed some breaking in. After running music�through�them for about two days, they really opened up. Now, I totally agree with the reviews I've seen. These babies are spot-on accurate. There is a slight bass boost which would be distracting if these were closed-back because the energy couldn't dissipate but with the open-back design it's present but not really noticeable. What really shines with these are everything above about 50 Hz which is ruler flat all the way up. I use SonarWorks Reference to fine tune the response and the "averaged" response compensation curve for the HD600s is within 3 dB through the mids and highs - the flattest curve for any phones modeled in the software. OK, now my ONLY gripe is that they have separate wiring to each earcup rather than the more conventional single sided cable input but that's a minor thing compared to the amazing sound. If you're serious about mixing and need accurate headphones, these are the ones.

Best headphones I own.

Best bass ever! For every day..to relax..............

Best headphones for swimming. I've tried a few and these are the best headphones for swimming.

I'm glad that I bought it. Best headphones ever. :headphones:

I have had several headphones down through the years. These are the BEST ever.

I was insecure about going semi-open or closed. I like to listen the sound quality over high volume and bass! Perfect fit!! worth 10 times what I paid for these.

hello i am really happy these headphones are cheap and great they have great bass

Best headphones I've ever owned! Outstanding!

I've been living in closed-back world for a few years thanks to office life. As my job transferred to remote and I had my wife sitting next to me, being able to hear her and things around the house became more important. I snagged these after a good amount of research around decent-to-good open-back gaming headphones (without being Gamer headphones). These are incredibly comfortable and sound great (running through a Schiit Fulla) with a great punch and nothing sounding too muddled. Definitely one of my more rapid favorites in my headphone lineup.
