    Get something bass-heavy:

    • Phonak Audeo PFE 012/022 (Same as the 12x series with green bass filters)
    • NUForce 700x/700m
    • ThinkSound TS02
    • Brainwavz M2
    • Bowers and Wilkins C5 (Although they have a low rating, they are decent for rap/hip hop)
    • MEE SP51
    Out of here, I'd go with either the ThinkSound or PFE. Both amazing bang for the buck IEMs with great bass. If you want more bass, get ThinkSound. If you want more balanced sound (but still be bass heavy), or want an adjustable sound (through filters) get the PFEs. The SP51s are another IEM that I haven't personally tried, but is bass heavy, but tunable.

    Just avoid Bose, Skullcandy, and Beats By Dre. And I think he wants OVER the ears headphones, not IEMs. nvm didn't read :p

    Try something from Klipsch, or (yes, I'll recommend this brand again), Fischer Audio.

    I don't think Grado is good with rap and hip-hop. They're known for their highs and quality with rock, but bass-wise and soundstage-wise, they're not the best.

    Wait, how much of a basshead is OP? I listen to electronic, but I look for quality along with quantity. Some people prefer sheer quantity though.

    Sorry, if this is a dead thread. I couldn't tell if 2 weeks is too long of a period before another comment.

    I got the " Special " type of Skullcandy headphones which " Increase " bass. It does for Dubstep, but first. What do you listen to Jacob? Tinyman would have an idea from what genre you like
