Headphones

Today I Received my PX100 from Amazon. Heard couple of songs during lunch time at my home.My opinion is, It is lightweight headphone deliver crisp sound, However I am not satisfied about its Bass.It is lacking in this area.Anyway This is my first impression.I know I cannot come for a conclusion imm as this model received great feedback from all side.I will wait for few more days and post my feedback.

Now I have decided to spent $150-200 for a solid bass,detail and crisp head phones(closed type).Still going thru reviews.As I said I have only 5 working days in USA.Have to purchase before I am leaving to India.

Looking forward to your suggestions.

Thanks

kams,
that bass will not be there unless you go for AKG K81DJ or even better the Denon AHD1000 or AHD2000. See, for deals in Head-Fi.org: Headphones, iPod earphones, portable audio, MP3 players, high-end audio
Other will be probably Equation RP21

Gopi,

Shall I return this ?.
I dont think I will get enough Bass even if i burn it for 50hrs.You said you have experienced AKG K81DJ. So I will go for it or Denon(still confusion in this part).The problem is I have to order everything thru online.It will take some time to test and returnif it is not ok.The prices are bit high in circuitcity and Best buy and some of the brands like AKG is not available over there.

Expecting your suggestion

Thanks,
Kams

kams, burning up is not going to get anything drastically different. Most of the times, the highs will become less harsh and bass tightens up. The quantity of bass isnt going to change much. If you thought bass is missing then PX100 isn't going to giving them anytime later. Px100 has a slight sparkle in the highs. Some might find it harsh, and some exciting. So, if you like this sparkle, AKG K81DJ might be slightly one the dull side. its bas will be boomy first, but then settles down. On the other hand, if you need that sparkle and the bass, then Denon will be the one. Also, AKG is not comfortable , it can cause some pain if used for longterm whereas Denon is said to be very comfortable. AKG is foldable and can be put into a small pouch (not as cute as PX100), but Denon cannot be. I would say if you have the money get the Denon and you should be fine.

Finally I have ordered Denon AHD 1000K for $128 from Amazon.I will receive it on tuesday.Hope It should work fine for me.

I considered AHD 2000 also.But reviews says It needs amp to drive it.It seems almost all the high end Head phones needed amps.So I just dropped that idea as I am mainly looking for Ipod.

Thanks Gopi

eagerly waiting for your thoughts

i am surprised you found the bass on the PX100 inadequate....i found it really tight and precise....it's not deep bass i agree....but then i personally prefer a flatter response across the frequency spectrum......and if bass is important to you, you're going to continue to feel unsatisfied....let's hope the Denon's live up to your expectations....

psychotropic, I think PX100 is like a standmount with nice bass. But, a floorstander is a floorstander. Isn't it. I come from a place where those few extra hz matters I always think on listening to a standmount that there is something missing and not giving me that full satisfaction.

Sure Gopi..I will post my feedback on AHD 1000K & PX100 soon..

Not only this, You can expect my feedback for Oppo DVD Player,Polk HT speakers,Onkyo AVR,Monoprice cables,Ipod speaker system and may be LCD TV also

Yeah, I purchased all these items in USA during my three years stay and took it to India on my every vacation trip..I never had a chance to use and enjoy them because I purchased one item per trip.So I couldnt setup a complete HT/Hi Fi Environment at anywhere..

My three years onsite assignment will end by next week and I am permanently returning back to India .Let me setup everything,Enjoy and post my feedback here.

I thought of buying some HiFi stuffs like Arcam CD Player and Amp over here,But due to the space constraint I couldnt buy them and moreover I am afraid abt our customs ppl now .I will definetly buy them at India after setting up my HT.

I really appreciate all our active Hifivision friends for their wonderful efforts to answer each and every queries(not only mine) .It really helped me in lot of ways.As a true music lover I want to be an active member over here and share my thoughts with you all ...

Thanks to everybody!

Cheers,

Hi psychotropic,
Even I feel the same.I think me and Gopi are in the same freq..I too love Crisp Highs and detail mids..At the same time I want deep bass also..The Px100 is indeed a great phone for money..However Its bass is not adequate for bass lovers..Actually I am doing 'burn in' now..Hope some improvement over their bass performance..

Cheers
