Even the bassiest headphones won't sound like a woofer or subwoofer with a good power amp. The diaphragm of a headphone is just too physically small. If you want headphones with the best possible bass, try this site: https://www.audiostance.com/bass-headphones/

You will need an amplifier. You're likely to need one anyway, if you're unsatisfied with your current results. Even the best headphones will not perform well driven by a weak, shitty amplifier.

I have these cheap ones I like for bass, some refurbished Soundcore Life 2 Neo headphones. They have an extra-bass button but it's ridiculous, you'd never need it. (Unless you are you, maybe!) Just an idea though.

Know all about good bass. If it doesn’t ripple the shirt it’s not trying. I seem to remember that closed ear cans were required to get the best bass response and you might need to go with wired cans to move enough power. I suggest a good headphone amp and equalizer coupled to a good(!) pair of studio reference cans. With this setup you can push as much power as you want in any particular style you like.
My hearings shot. Last pair I bought were Grado sr-80 for the high end response. Needed somewhat bright cans to replace what I lost. Can’t use open ear things cuz the neighbours hear. Only listen rarely.

Nuraphones, they have extra speakers just for bass and an 'immersion' slider to fine tune it. I doubt you'll find anything better. They're not the comfiest things in the world though.

I want to know how that shit connects to a headphone jack.

Can’t go back now
Didn’t answer my question, how do those rca inputs convert to a headphone jack
I suppose this will keep things going, rough going
It’s still one of my nice vices
"home audio" is an entire class of consumer gear. there's like guides and stuff.

Can’t be worse than some peoples tattoos, I guess I’ll go for it. Your points on best amp?
Edit: Wait I never got a chance to say fuck all of you.
Someone tell me.
I know you fucks know the answer, so get me there. We want to fly close to sun, on this one at least.
Edit: Please.

Edit: check headphones.com. Get their advice.
Let’s keep trying, this is one thing I’m willing to be diplomatic on. It can rumble from the ear, I’ve heard it.
