Best Open Back Headphones For Bass

Fantastic Headphones with good solid bass response, and flat, smooth, open mid-range...I am powering these phones with a oy headphone amp, and am totally addicted to the smooth, transparent sound which I find hard to put aside...Considering the bargain price, you'll not regret buying these excellent headphones,

After about two years of use, I have to say these are the most comfortable headphones I own. I regularly forget I am wearing them! The sound quality on these is impressive. They are definitely darker than any of my other headphones, and ever so slightly darker than what I would call neutral. Perhaps the best analogy is the U47 microphone. However, that's not to say it's overly bassy; I tested about a dozen open backs at B&H in person at the time and these had the least 'bass bleed', where bass frequencies overwhelm the low-mids, while also having some of the most 'polite' highs, or as others put it, 'non-fatiguing'. They are particularly pleasant on classical and jazz, and provide quite good detail and sound stage. Most certainly an upgrade on my ancient Q701's! However, they are definitely on the 'slow' side, lacking the transient clarity of brighter or higher-end headphones, so less analytical and more enjoyable- they do make your music sound 'better', but not necessarily show all the flaws. For that reason, I'd say they're not necessarily the be-all-end-all of mixing/mastering headphones, but for listening otherwise, they are excellent. Other benefits include their remarkably small size and aforementioned light weight; they also have massively less bleed than my other open-backs, and I have even used them for tracking without much more bleed than my closed backs do.

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.

I got them a week ago and man this headphones pack a punch. I really wanted to try open-back style headphones for the experience so I went with these and I don't regret it. Best sound I've got from headphones under $$. Don't expect a bass that will make your head shake, these are open-back, they wont provide you with that kind of bass. They'll give you a DEEP BASS experience, meaning that the bass will sound clear, deep and powerful yet detailed. A bass that will make the music sound full without making you feel like you have a boom box stuck in your ear. The clarity of these it's a great thing. You can identify things you didn't know were in your songs. I have played classical, jazz, rock, metal, hardcore, trap, almost any genre I could think of and these babies delivered. If you have a good player that support FLAC files, prepare to be amazed by the T20RP's. They sound so good that you will start noticing how bad some music out there has been produced. They have a bit of a high impedance so I'll have to get a portable amplifier to take them to another level. They also look cool, some people may not like the look of them but I find it rad.
