personally like the retros with brainwaves pads but that does put them at about 50 with current prices. which is exactly the same price as the CALs in the US currently. Really big booming bass enjoyable for bassy hiphop and edm. I’ve not heard the cals myself so not sure how they stack up to eachother
m40x have booming bass ?
m40x or yamaha mt5
Pro 82’s with the vents wide open is definitely boomy bass (pretty sloppy though)… two papers suggested the retro’s and I agree with the brainwavs xl pads they have cleaner boomy bass … nicest cleanest bass its Sorens suggestion the cal (a little less boomy)

Those have decent bass, but not anywhere near the Creative Aurvana Live.
In terms of quantity I think they win but quality goes to the cal
Yeah but it isn’t necessarily less by any large margin, plus Zeos said the bass gets distorted with the bass ports all the way on the 82s.

can you recommend for me headphone good serious gaming and have booming bass
what’s your budget and do you have an amp?
i don want amp … budget around 120 usd
i don want amp … budget around 120 usd
for gaming are you looking for hearing footsteps and sounds accurately for competitive or are you wanting detail for sound effects like explosions in a more casual or single player experience?
for competitive and bass booming
hmm not sure what images well in that price bracket. @Soren_Peregrine @M0N could you help our friend out?
personally I’d say you’re going to have to make a concession here, as for competitive you’re looking a decent sound stage and accurate imaging, but you also want strong powerful bass. Which is a lot to ask out of any headphone without amplification
for the competitive side
mh751 or SENNHEISER PC37X but I’d think both are gonna lack the boom of a bass canon
on the bass canon side
you’re probably looking at the two previously mentioned monoprice retros with bw XL pads or creative aurvana live. Both of which don’t particularly specialize in recreating space with accurate imaging
maybe one of the others can point out an option i’ve overlooked

mh751or takstar pro 82 have more bass ?
MH 751 or takstar pro 82 have more bass?
Can’t answer that, I’d think the takstars but @donjklassen and @Soren_Peregrine have a little more experience with those two it looks like
Pro 82 has the ability to have more because it has adjustable bass ports on both earcups
It’s a really fun and very comfortable headphone 
For ~50$ you can get a pair of Superlux 681 evo and some Brainwavz XL pads for uber comfort.
@ammardien Competitive and bass booming are two very different applications. Competitive you want less bass so as not to drown out things like footsteps and gunshots etc.
It would be hard to have both in one headphone. If you want both, I suggest saving up your money a little bit more and getting two different pairs of headphones. One for competitive gaming, and one for fun bass.
