Awesome!! Your impressions are nearly identical to mine. I agree they don't have the big open image of the DT880, K501, or HD580... BUT for a $75 headphone to even approach those cans is a tremendous feat.
Enjoy!! Give them time... give your ears time.... My "honeymoon period" is long since over with the K240s, and I STILL feel they are a very good sounding headphone.
I agree with you, the bass bloat, while boosted... is NO WHERE near the most bassy headphones we often discuss (DT770, Porta).
I do believe they benefit from a recable, and There are some easy mods you can do to the cloth driver cover to further alter the sound.
Theyre an incredible headphone value. To my ears and sonic preferences they easily keep up with more costly headphones. There are times I prefer them to my MS2, HF1 and RS1... mainly movie watching, gaming..
IMHO they occupy a nice little spot between the Grado and Senn sound. Bigger soundstage than comparably priced Grados, Yet more aggressive and "in your head" than the HD580.
Enjoy!! They are very good cans for the $$$, their only real "flaw" (if you can call it that), is they need decent amplification.
