The HD800 has no problem becoming a bass heavy headphone since it doesn't lack bass unlike most dynamic headphones on the market (it extends very far down). It is actually the best I have heard yet on the headphone ( I have yet to try the HE-1000 and the SR-009 though).
If you mean if the HD800 can't reproduce a bloated, sloppy and unrefined bass like bass heavy headphones, then yes. Because the HD800 produces a very fast, detailed and clear bass.
I never heard anyone describe the HD800 as a fun headphone. It can reproduce bass accurately, but it is never in the forefront.
There has to be high end, not ($3,000 high end) that has fun bass/lower midrange that isn't bloated & sloppy.
