Man, you need to capitalize and put spaces between sentences! It's going to be hard getting responses from members to something this hard to read.

Anyways, what are you driving them out of? If you want loud, you'll need a good amplifier circuit driving them unless you go with very sensitive headphones.

Loud, rich bass:

Boostaroo

Bose TriPort

Why am I not suggesting Head-fi recommended? Because I have never come by a source that doesn't go loud enough, and the OP is likely blowing out his ears and will become deaf.

I might be wrong though.

Might I ask why you're so insistent on loud music if you "aren't deaf"? Hearing loss and tinnitus are real problems...and cranking your 'phones to a volume where the driver blows certainly isn't recommended.

There is a reason why people do not listen loud. Loud music = going deaf. There is no way around it. Buy yourself a ratshack sound level meter and test your volume. It should not be higher than 80db to be on the safe side.

If they blow out because of loud music I really feel sorry for your ears.

The headphones you recommended are the high low-end, there is much better, but they should be able to play really really loud anyway.

Is your radio your main listening device? I can't image anything worse than radio quality music, both in sound quality and in music quality, played to earbleeding levels.

If you really don't like to hear your surroundings for the rest of your life, buy a portable amplifier.

Yeah, you really should go see a doctor. Playing headphones at levels that loud will lead to permanent hearing damage quite quickly. Don't try to act "tough" either... everyone's ear is just as prone to damage as someone else's.... No way to train your ears to be strong, just more deaf.

Your request is like posting at a gourmet site and asking for food. The taste doesn't have to be good, as long as there's lots of it. If you're not deaf then you soon will be if you insist on loudness over sound quality. The whole point of quality IEM's or headphones is that you don't have to play them loud. Even amps aren't made to make music louder but to act as a magnifying glass. Do yourself a favour and have your hearing tested. If it's okay then you need good isolating cans or IEM's so ambient noise won't disturb you. MOst of all, try to get used to playing your music at lower soundlevels. It's like swimming in hot water, you get used to it.

You need a headphone amplifier if you want to really go loud. Something simple like the boostaroo or a "cmoy" off of ebay should do the trick for you. You'll also need a mini-to-mini cable to connect your radio/cd player/ipod/whatever to the amplifier. The amplifier will give you louder, cleaner sound.

Listening too loud will literally make you go deaf, and you'll never hear again after that. This isn't a "getting a tattoo" kind of bad idea, this is a real, permanent, life changing bad idea. Fair warning.

This is the kind of warning you only hear once.

Do you know anything about grammar?
