Omega 2 and TakeT H2 are the best contenders imo. Didn't think much of the L3000.

Reminds me of those off-brand PA amp/ DJ amp's with thousands of watts of brute force for like 499. But, where's the quality?

There's a reason this can boasts 5-29kHz, 1500mW input and is still 39 dollars. Hell, Maybe I'll sell my cans and make a few hundred bucks back!

there is also the skullcandy skullkrushers

I did not just say skullcandy

No mention of the D2000's? They can have some pretty wild lowend when amped correctly. Would only imagine the D5000's would be a little better considering the use of wood for the cups.

Deep-cup Darth Beyers.

Second choice is the
new Darth V4 Terminators.

Both have very good realistic bass reproduction -- if the music has it, on the lowest "rumble"-type notes, you can feel your skull tingle.
And they are well-balanced, and do very well on the rest of the music, too -- not just the bass.

Behind the above two, but still close:
JVC DX1000

Then, still pretty close:
Ultrasone HFI-780,
Ultrasone PRO 750

If you want headphones and earth shattering bass, go K1000 paired up with a massive subwoofer.

I've been thinking about getting my SVS 20-39+ back from my sister (got rid of it because my neighbor complained about it, which her neighbor is now doing, and I have new neighbors) to pair with say the W5000s I'm trying to get. I think that'd make for a decent setup for gaming and movies.

Of all the cans I've heard, the Ed9 really smacked my head around. Very deep and hard hitting bass on those. Although generally I didn't like them for anything else.

The wavelength of low bass notes is much longer than the width of your head, so no, headphones can't do low bass. My friend has these monstrous 18" subwoofers and you can only hear the lowest notes outside of the house.

The D2000 does do bass better than most headphones but the lower bass notes clip easily when you listen to headphones as loud as I. I listen to my D2000's with a subwoofer. If your headphones can't blow out candles from 15 feet away, then you need a subwoofer for BASS.

How is the edition 9?
Don't they have some good bass ?

 

[Uncle Erik]

It depends on the kind of bass you're looking for. As a few have pointed out, the wavelength of low frequencies from a 30mm-50mm driver is not going to be felt by your body the way a subwoofer or an amped bass guitar at a concert will.

However, if you're looking for acoustic bass sounds, you can get those from a headphone. Try the K-1000, K-501 and DT48 for tight, realistic acoustic bass. You don't feel a plucked bass or a baritone anywhere as much as an electric one, so headphones will get that right. But for rock to feel right, you probably need loudspeakers.

That’s pretty extreme to listen to headphones with loudspeakers/subwoofers. Ever thought of using some transducers or something hooked into your chair so you can still feel the impact? I know the only reason I got started into this headphone craze is so that others don’t have to listen to my obnoxiously loud H/T equipment when I am enjoying it. You want to talk loud bass; I pull low to mid 140’s all day with my single 15” tuned to 26.62 HZ between 30-35HZ.

 

[Wilashort]

Of course yes....
The Denons, Ultrasones and Beyers (and some other brands) are capable to reproduce/'simulate' a bass that you can feel, as if it was from a subwoofer. Obviously in a lower scale than a subwoofer; because of physical limitations in the size of the drivers on a headphone. That doesn't as capable of move the same volume/pressure of air as a 5" or more of an subwoofer. But for me it is enough that these headphones can do....

These models you have heard are not considered bass heavy and i can confirm you that as i had HD595 and was listening K701 today. Try D2000, they have BASS.
