Hi all,
 
So I'm getting ready to buy my first pair of hifi headphones but still trying to decide what would be best. I've been reading a lot about the ATH-AD900 and I really like what I'm seeing there, although a common complaint seems to be the lack of bass. I'm certainly no basshead but I would like there to be enough (and judging by some of these reviews this doesn't seem to be the case with the ad900).
 
So my question, what are some good open, semi open cans that would be aroudn the range of the ath-ad900 in price but maybe add a little more bass...?
 
Thanks!

The first thing that comes to my mind is the DT880 32ohm, but it's a bit higher priced.  The hd595 might be another viable option as well, but it doesn't give the extension as the 880.

I see in your signature that you have the AD-700's. How do you like them for music..? Is the bass acceptable..?

I use them exclusively for gaming.  I found their low bass extension to be non-existant.  They do eq for bass extremely well, and with very agressive EQing, you can get some decent bass out of them, but it wasn't as punchy or tight as I wanted it to be.
