Closed headphones similar to HD558s

[someperson]

Loving the sound from the 558, but the bass is lacking too much. The sound stage is excellent for gaming as well. But with a loud family I'm going to have to return these. Is there anything out there similar to these but with closed backs? Thanks.

What DAC and Amp. are you using?

Just using an AVR. Pioneer vsx 821

Beyerdynamic DT990 Pro 250-Ohm headphones.
 
Edit, I should have said DT770 Pro 250-Ohm.

Went with the 558 for the price difference.

Sweet. Thanks man. Looks like you have both or tried both? How is the soundstage compared between the 558 and the 770? I've been debating between these since I joined this site. I'm going to be using them mainly for gaming, then movies. And music.

As your looking for a closed headphone, the HD558 (open) is going to have an naturally easier time with sound stage.
I have no problem enjoying movies with the DT770 Pro 250-Ohm.
I will admit my new Beyer T70 (250-Ohm) has somewhat side lined the DT770s
 
I'm guessing the Pioneer's headphone jack has a high impedance, which is a (minor?) negative for low Ohm headphones (HD558 50-Ohm).
As the DT770s are 250-Ohm, they are better able to work (better bass) with a high impedance headphone jack.
