Good headphones for those with low freq loss

I love my headphones. My wife keeps telling me I only have 2 ears but still I keep buying them :slight_smile: As I’ve lost more and more bass frequencies, I’ve struggled to get decent headphones to cope with this. IN the world of good headgear, huge bass is not a priority and is often considered a sign of poor quality.
A few weeks ago, my right ear which had previously been my good ear, became my very bad ear. I have lost a huge amount of bass in both ears now which means things sound tinny and sort of hissy/whispery, but not full and rounded. IN despiration I started looking for headphones that people said were flabby, hugely bass heavy, in short not very nice to listen to.
My end result… I came up with these:

I like sony headphones a lot because they let you customise EQ and that EQ stays with you no matter if you use bluetooth or aux. They also have decent noise canceling and they are good for slipping on over the top of RICs if you need to.
These ones also have a bass profile button which allows you to select between 3 settings and you can custome the bass for each of those settings.
Now please don’t get me wrong, they do not have world class sound. You’re not going to be picking individual violin strings out of these. However they do have some thumpy and not too distorted bass and their ambient or transparent mode is actually decent even with my loss. They also do’nt cost the earth.

For anyone missing a good thump, give these a go you won’t be disappointed :slight_smile:
