Wow, even worse than the usual Bose? Hah, nice.
But to be constructive... I'd try for something like the Shure srh440, my favorite AKG K272HD or HD25-1 even (though not very comfy). Many good closed portables out there in the same price range to kick bottom.
Seriously, what Bose is bass heavy? Certainly not the AE1 or AE2. Not even remotely. I do know the in ear models are. Both AE1 and AE2 are very balanced sounding to me, but not neutral. Actually AE1's fault is that it is kind of treble happy. I keep hearing Bose are supposed to be bass heavy and I don't know why people keep saying this! Maybe it's the QC2 or QC3..whatever they call them.
BTW for those that are commenting ONLY on what they've heard in a store demo, please don't do this. It's stupid. How can you possibly even listen to a headphone in such a noisy store anyway? Don't give me this.."but it was quiet".
