How 'Bout...
How about the issue with the pivot joints failing and the cups falling off the headband?
Did they do anything to resolve that issue?
Based on your description... if the bass is even more pronounced... it sounds like its more unbalanced than the D2000/5000s are... at least in stock form and without burn in.
One of the advantages of the D2000/5000s, compared to Senns, is their brighter, more resolved/detailed sound. Its a bit difficult to understand how a darker, bassier sound would be an improvement.
