Thanks for all the responses. I'll hold onto these headphones for a week to see if these are the right ones for me. If only the bass was just a little bit higher, it'd be perfect. Increasing the bass using the Fiio E10 or an EQ just muddies the music without doing anything to the thump in the bass. 

Sorry about the delayed reply, I was working. The bass is present when listening but ever so slight. It seems like if I really crank up the volume I can get some bass.      Thanks for all the help. I guess maybe I was expecting too much but wasn't expecting this little. Might switch over to a...

I was listening to Crown - Jay Z. Just the intro to be specific. On the DT990 it feels extremely soft like it's held back. Like, if I hadn't have known the song beforehand, I wouldn never have guessed there was any significant level of bass. 

Apparently using a link needs approval for admins. I'm not sure how long that will take so I'll have to post it another way. I searched for bass test on Youtube and found a song with the title of "Bass test - Feel The BASS (bass boosted)". Objectively, I feel almost nothing when using the...

I just searched for 'bass test' on Youtube and used this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8b-FEaGJG8Y

Hmm, I'm not very good with audio terminology. What do you mean by no headphone will let you feel the bass? I'm talking about the 'thump' you feel/hear. It's practically not there on the headphones. I can crank the bass up on an EQ and turn on the bass switch on the Fiio e10 and almost nothing...

Hi James35, I am aware that open headphones don't have the same bass as closed headphones. But I read that DT990 had more bass than most open headphones. Nevertheless, like I said previously, the bass is not there whatsoever, maybe very slight. I'm not being greedy and asking for more bass as if...

Also, I'll stress that I'm not being obnoxious by implying that there is bass and I want more. It's the fact that there's close to nothing and I really have to strain my ears to feel anything. The thing is, I'm pretty sure the audio is playing perfectly fine so I cannot figure out why the bass...

Thanks for responding,   All I had prior was the MEElectronics M6P. I listen to a bit of everything and was just testing out the bass to see what it's like. I feel close to nothing and I'm not a basshead, I lfeel the ever so slightest kick behind it. I wasn't really expecting a bass monster...

Can someone please help me?   I just received the headphones and it seems to lack bass completely? Maybe vaguely existent. As if equivalent to normal headphones. It's hooked up to a Fiio e10 Olympus.    Also, is there a soundstage audio to test the headphone? I feel like I'm missing...
