sennheiser hd 558 bass boost

shant · Jul 15, 2012

hello geeks, i recently got the hd 558 headphones, i did the foam mod to hd598, it seems to have a weak bass compared to other sennheiser headphones, can anyone recommend me to something not too expensive and small that can boost the bass a bit ?
ill be pairing it with the xonar dx soon

edit: amazon.com is preferable

You should be able to adjust bass/treble levels in the sound card's controls.

If you don't feel there's enough volume, you may need something like this:

thanks! but its a bit big for me, is there anything smaller? the 30$ range ? on amazon.com?
edit: instead of getting the xonar dx and an separate amp/bass booster for another 30$ or so, is there a card thats around 30$ more expensive than the xonar dx and has an in built bass booster/amp ?

You should be able to spend less than $50 shipped on the Rolls. Ebay sometimes has them used for $30-ish.

I'm not aware of any sound cards with that feature, and if they did I doubt it would only be $30 more... (?)

I only recommended the Rolls because I ended up with one to power my larger headphones. I'm not really into this field of electronics. :thup:
