I purchased ah-d7200 after reading so many reviews that it had good bass but I found it lacking the "thump" or impact. D7200 sounds great otherwise.

I would really appreciate if you could recommend some alternatives except for TH900/E-mu teaks b/c they are not readily available where I live.

- been using ath-e70 and ath-ws1100. I specifically wanted to upgrade ws1100. I like all-arounders with good bass impact.

- Some cans I have in mind are mdr-z1r and beyerdyanmics T5 3rd gen. I am okay with getting a bit more fun sounding pair of headphones like z1r but I am not sure if it would have that bass impact I am looking for.

Thanks for help in advance!

Are you getting a good seal with 7200 pads? If not, you might consider trying different pads. Proper seal is paramount to bass response

Since you like ath, could look into wp900. It has incredible bass. However it's more sub than mid bass focused. Its high quality bass is more about rattle, vibration than thump and impact.

Too bad you can't access th900, it has totl bass all around.

I think I am getting a good seal. I am looking for that rumbling bass with impact. D7200 just doesn't seem to that kind of bass - it's there but not as prominent as I liked it to be. As for TH900mk2 I am going to ask my local distributor if I can demo it somehow (I heard the lead time was long.)

And thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try out wp900 when I visit a shop next time. I had ruled out ATHs as I was looking for bassy cans this time.

You didnt mention a budget so I would check out the ZMF Atrium closed in a soft wood. Clean, tight bass slam and rumble.

Budgeted 1.5~2k. The dealer unfortunately does not carry Atrium.

D7200 does grow on me. I've come to appreciate its bass. It's cleaner and tighter than what I am used to.

Anyhow I tried out TH900MK2, it had the type of bass I looked for!

TH900 has the best slam of all of the mentioned headphones.

even better than the Atrium closed?

I've always found planar magnetics to have better bass slam than dynamics.

I did end up getting TH900MK2 and it is my endgame.
