Yes it will check those boxes multiple times
I love close backs as well, had the TR-X00, TH900 Lawton, 900 MK2, and semi closed Grado/Bushmills and the Eikon is the best for me right now without spending $2k+. The Fostex are fun and bass monsters but the Eikon has the right bass in the right places for me.
I use the solid Auteur pads and have found that they have good bass, FWIW.
Assuming the pad you have is the Eikon pad, that's the warmest/bassiest pad option for the Eikon:
If you want more bassy, I would recomment maybe testing the Fostex TH900 or a Lawton'ized version if you don't want to EQ. Those are bass monsters. too much for me, hence why I am here
but you may enjoy it, was especially good for edm.
I had a purple heart for a few month. Way too much bass like out of control and not enjoyable at all. I also had the rp3 and mad dog. Both garbage sounding. I didn't try the brands higher model like the th900 but if tuning is similar then not good. The more I listen to the eikon the more satisfied I am at its bass. I gave hd820 a few hours listen today and it's similar level to the eikon, slightly analytical than the eikon. But much more enjoyable than hd800s from what I remembered. I think soon I will try more expensive zmf. I wonder those are worth it. Quite a bit more expensive. The verite ones cost 3 times what I paid for the eikon on the used market.If you want more bassy, I would recomment maybe testing the Fostex TH900 or a Lawton'ized version if you don't want to EQ.

I actually hooked up the Loki for the first time and connected to Hugo and beyerdynamic A1. With kimber kable rca and better cables rca. Interesting little device. But I played with it a bit and prefer non eq sound better. Hooked up the T1 first gen too while I was at it and it is ok, it's got a higher end thicker pad on it which increase the bass significantly in a good way. Beyerdynamic is definitely behind on the sound quality these days. I can see why people settle for zmf in the end. Just musical and enjoyable and also very comfortable to wear. Lighter than audeze and more reliable from what I read. Beyerdynamic and audeze were the only brand I had to use warranty on their drivers. It both have great support. I'm trying to decide the A1 amp vs Hugo built in amp. Very close. Lol. Probably get rid of all my beyerdynamic and then build myself a bottlehead mainline later. I do want to give tube another try after the little dot MK iii I had for a few years and then realized it is not that good sounding no matter what tube you put on that one lol. Got to move up to the higher end tube ones like from woo audio.Assuming the pad you have is the Eikon pad, that's the warmest/bassiest pad option for the Eikon:
If you want to go bassier you'll have to go either the EQ route or a warmer amp than what you have. A Schiit Loki is also an option for analog EQ.
Are you in Canada? I saw on Canuck audio someone selling two zmf and a pendant just sold for 2000 Canadian. Not sure they are the same seller lol. Zmf is easy to sell when you don't like it. I will hold onto my eikon for now.
Hey man, we all have our own path. You may come back this way, you might not. What's important is that you enjoy the music...
i was on my phone it didn't show your location lol. i was in vancouver for 16 years now kamloops. nobody to take a look each other's headphones with lol. just got more serious after moving here.
Well, the least you can do is inform as us to what 2.1 system you put together...
