Hey guys just a quick question, Is there any bass heavy open HPs because usually when I see people recommending bass heavy HPs they are mainly closed.

The Fischer Audio Fa-011s are open and are AMAZING. They have awesome bass with great impact, depth, and detail while not punishing the midrange much and having all the benefits of an open set of headphones such as soundstage.
I just got a pair of PRO 900s, which are considered absolute bass monsters. While FA-011s definitely have less bass, they can still compete in quantity, and to my ears have the slightly superior bass quality, though of that is preference on my part. They also have more mid bass than the Denon D2000s from what I hear.
I see you have a pair of M50s. The FA-011s have a very similar sound signature, fairly neutral with a bit of an emphasis on the low end. The difference is that the FA-011s are better in every way. The bass is greater in quantity and quality. The mid range is less recessed, and has much better detail and clarity. The high end also manages to be more detailed while not being hugely sibilant. In comparison the M50 sound muddy, veiled, and boring. I was astonished by just how much better they were than the M50s myself.
Do note that the FA-011s require an amp to sound their best, though even without an amp they still are superior to the M50s.
Wow I am really considering the FA-011s now. I really like the m50 sound signature and your saying that everything is upped from the m50 to the fa-011s, that REALLY makes me want them! Where is the cheapest online store to pick them up incase later on I might consider getting them?
Heya,
In order of cost:
Samson SR850
Fischer Audio FA-011
BeyerDynamic DT990 PRO
Ultrasone HFI 2400
Sennheiser HD650
Very best,
Wouldn't the Sennheiser HD 600 suffice instead of the HD 650?
