I had the chance to demo a bunch of headphones the other day and ultimately I liked the Sennheiser HD 600s more than the rest. The only things that keeps me from buying them is the bass performance. So, I wanted to know if there are some other headphones like the 600s, but perform better in the bass and sub-bass areas. I am still relatively new in the audiophile world and I'm still learning new things. I just recently learned what soundstage is haha. I did like the 650s a little too. The sound was very smooth, but at cost the treble. I didn't like that. Anyways, any help will be appreciated.
 
Edit: I also want to add that I listen to a wide range of music, so I am in need of something that is very versatile.

The HE-500--which are being closed out.  You will need an amp with decent power.  See:

The Philips Fidelio X2 seems to be exactly what you're after.  It's said to be like a lower impedance Sennheiser HD 600 but with more bass.
