Awesome bass fun time!

Q: What are the holy grail bass headsets? I want to buy a pair of headphones that have awesome bass and make listening to music enjoyable.

A: Holy grail bass (because the first thing you say when you listen to them is "Jesus!") = Sony XB500/700/1000

Ark of the covenant bass (because I'll probably find the freaking ark of the covenant more easily than I find a D7k) = Denon D5000/7000

Antichrist bass (preceded of course by the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse bass, which are obviously Bose, Skullcandy, Monster and the Audio Technica AD900X) = Beats. Any Beats, because that's the brand audiophiles most love to beats up on.

The great pretender bass (it thinks it's a king, but it ain't) = the Audio technica ATHM50X. It has bassm, more bass, and pretgty much nothing but the bass.

The Shadow (because it actually has awesome bass, but no-one knows it exists) = JVC HA-SZ2000 - come on, admit it, how many of you know it's out there as an option: ready, waiting, even yearning for bassheads to pick it up and try it out?

Twins with an attitude (like the girls who picked you up at a bar and showed you what a "fun" time means until you collapsed in exhaustion at 5 am the next morning) = the Philips Fidelio X1/X2
