Headophiles...

... (once again) sometimes prefer a slight overdose of bass. In real life deep bass is felt by the body, just as it is heard by the ears. Similarly, vibrations and/or air movement being pushed against the skin and bones of the skull during headphone listening contributes to a feeling of realism.

The only problem is, in order to provide any semblance of this sort of "feeling" (tactile bass) within the confines of the typical headphone earpiece, one might end up by boosting the bass frequencies somewhat beyond what might be considered as "neutral" in frequency response. "Neutral", as considered by those who don't feel the need for their skull to shake during listening?
