Not many, though I have heard good things about the higher-mid-range Audio-technicas.

EDIT: What price range are you looking for?

Hmm interesting, mine 280-13 have almost no bass although it's possible to hear it's there and it's deep. It's just so quiet

280s are known for a deep and accurate yet shy bass. Luckily they react well to some light EQing. Remember to boost bass by lowering the other frequencies, though.

I've found the Sennheiser HD25-1 II to be very isolating. However, it's an oustandingly neutral can, not necessarily a bass monster. It's also supra-aural and some don't care for that (I love them, though).

I would have recommended the HD25-1's as well, since I used to own the 280s, but I do agree with tomb, being that the HD25s are a bit bass shy compared to the 280s, but they definitely isolate really well, even as a supra-aural. The only thing I can think of would be the Beyerdynamic DT770, but it's not as isolating as the HD280...but the bass quantity is up there, and the quality of bass for me, was better than the HD280.
