On Stax earspeakers all the bass is there, it's just not the "head subwoofer" kind you get with some dynamics.

The bass is heard but not felt.

I like this presentation of sound better, as it lets you hear all the details in the bass rather than just feeling the heaphones "attempt" to give tangible bass.

If you want that you're better off going with speakers.

Other than bass, Stax does everything better. Detail, clarity, transparency, Stax has it in spades.

It will be completely night and day from your HD595s and the MS1.

It was a night and day from DT880s, HD650s, RS1000s, and K701s from a Meier Corda Opera!
