Actually, I guess I'm also happy with the bass response of all my best sounding headphones and earphones. That's probably why I've never tried adding a subwoofer. I own two Rythmik Servo Subs, and I use one with my Mini Maggie speakers. However, I'm perfectly happy with the bass response from my STAX SR-X9000 electrostatics as well as my FiiO FT5 Planar Magnetic headphones. I'm happy with the bass response from my best IEM earphones, too.

I just bought some new FiiO FD15 IEM earphones, and they also seem to have good bass response. Their 13.8-mm dynamic diaphragm is probably responsible for their nice bass response. They're also not too expensive at only $150.

I guess I'm a headphone enthusiast. Here's a list of all the headphones and earphones I currently own:

STAX SR-X9000 electrostatic headphones
STAX SR-007 Mk2 electrostatic headphones
Koss ESP/950 electrostatic headphones
Grado HP-1 dynamic headphones
FiiO FT3 dynamic headphones
FiiO FT5 planar magnetic headphones
FiiO FDX IEM earphones
FiiO FD7 IEM earphones
FiiO FD5 IEM earphones
FiiO FD15 IEM earphones
FiiO F9 IEM earphones
FiiO EM5 earphones
FiiO EH3 NC Bluetooth dynamic headphones
FiiO FW5 Bluetooth IEM earphones

That's all I can remember at the moment. ;-)

Happy listening!
