I know you want light bass and I tried to explain but for now unless I can convince him I need something with more bass. Thanks for the recommendations.

I'm looking for a pair of headphones, preferably right around $100 for recording. They probably would need to be a little bass heavy (they are not for me). Preferably closed back headphones.

  Just to follow up on it, the Crushers are actually pretty good. They have an adjustable bass slider and it is actually another driver in each side just for bass. It does require a battery and they are actually not bad, especially if you like bass and take a look at the price tag.   Overall...
