Can headphone simulate the subwoofer bass

[derekchan]

I have mdr7506
Hd800

Can these simulate the sub bass of subwoofer which make the window knocking
Your heart beating
The air flowing through your cloth while subwoofer unit is pushing

Does hd800 need mha200 tube headamp to drive
What difference between a amplifer section internal of dac streamer to drive hd800
And a huge price mcintoah amp

A day and night difference or no difference

It's a "different experience". With speakers and soundwaves in the room you can feel a kick drum or bass guitar in your chest. You can't get that with headphones.
And overall, headphones just sound different from speakers or live music in a room.

But you can feel headphones vibrating on your head and it's a lot cheaper and easier to get strong-deep bass with headphones. And with headphones there is almost no correlation between sound quality and price.

The HD800S and the MDR 7506 are both a bit "light" in the bass. You can boost it with EQ, but you might need more amplifier power. (Amir wasn't happy with the MDR 75056 even after EQ.)

...The "famous" AKG K371 has slightly exaggerated bass. It's "easier" to reduce bass with EQ than to boost, if you want to do that. The K371 does have a reputation of being fragile but mine haven't broken yet.

Headphone amplifiers are not rocket science and (like most audio electronics) most are better than human hearing. If the headphone output from your phone or computer is fine as long as it goes loud enough with your particular headphones. Headphone sensitivity varies, and headphone amplifier output voltage varies. If you need more volume, or if you get distortion when boosting bass you may need a separate headphone amp.

IMO - 1550's technology (tubes) are "dumb". You can build a good tube amp and MacIntosh has always had a good reputation but it's more expensive to make a good tube amp and you pay a "MacIntosh premium" on top of the basic additional build cost.

Even if it were possible for the tiny drivers in a headphone to do such a thing (which of course it isn't), I don't think you'd want something like that located directly next to your eardrum.

Seems like two different things. True to reference and then blowing your clothes off.

You will likely not hit the studio reference for most larger studios as they are designed around a single purpose, but then use a wide range of different gear to get to their reference - all of which is quite expensive.

If you can't hit the movie theater bass level the answer is relatively simple - you need to integrate the sub/s better and likely need more of them. In solid HT you would easily surpass the theater bass performance that is also limited to Dolby specs (Front subs 30 something hz and side 40 something hz, 115db peaks)

Live events - well difficult to say as their sound varies greatly. To that extent, listening really loud might get you to that level if gear can keep up with it.

Mine have. My best bass experience with headgear comes from the lowly—$25, shipping and tax included—7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 IEM(s). I've got a lot of recordings that go all the way down. These do the best job of delivering the pitches. No, you won't feel it in your chest, but you will hear it.

7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 IEM Review

This is a review, listening tests, EQ and detailed measurements of the 7Hz x Crinacle Zero:2 IEM. It was kindly donated to me by a member and costs US $24.99. The cable is soft and longer than typical which I like. They take fair amount of effort to push it but then they make a reassuring...

Your best bet is to outfit your chair with buttkickers or to buy a Woojer Vest 4. I have the Woojer, and its honestly more intense than a subwoofer, but less accurate.

Lets be honesst, nothing copares to pants flapping, chest pounding bass. BUT, it is expensive. You need serious no kidding high output subs that usually are in the over $2000 and up. Then if you end up with two of them your up near $5000 in subs. You can then presurize your room and cause most anything to jump around and vibrate. After that you find the weaknesses in the room. Stuff starts fallling apart yhat you didn't expect. That and your neighbors might start complaining that their house has deep bass in it too. So, you can get that amazing bass but it isn't easy and you have to take the good and the bad (police calls/noise complaints). I say go for it!

That is 100% true!

I don't believe they can. I used to have a walkman device, made by Panasonic, if I remember it correctly. It had headphones that actually vibrated with deep bass. It went through batteries quickly, but was fun. IEMs can provide deep and full bass in your ear canal. Over the ear headphones can do it around your ear. Experiencing actual deep sound waves is an entire body experience. You cannot get it from headphones or earbuds. I am a musician and I perform live. On a weekly basis, I am exposed to live music, my home Hi-Fi system, my computer speakers, headphones, and IEMs. While it is my opinion, that list is in descending order of overall listening satisfaction. Headphones are physically limited as to what they can accomplish.
