Hello one and all, i am a music/movie enthusiast and am looking for more bass centric headphones. The current headphones i own now are the AKG701. While i'm very happy with them and use them regularly, they do leave me a bit disappointed when i'm listening to movies and music where bass is essential. I'd like to know what high end headphones you would recommend for a deeper and richer bass experience? Many thanks in advance.

Budget?
 
What other equipment is in your audio chain?

I was thinking about under a grand. The headphone would be connected to my asus essence stx.

Does this sound card include and amp?  If so what Ohm/Sensitivity rating cans can it properly drive?

yes, the headphone plug includes an amp. I'll just link the official website where all the specifications can be review: https://www.asus.com/Sound_Cards/Xonar_Essence_STX/specifications/

Sorry--that's not very helpful (at least not to me) to determine what headphones (specs) this card will properly drive.

I'm not all too sure myself. The learning curve on these headphones are a bit too high and the amount of headphones are so numerous that it doesn't make it any easier to figure out what someone wants. It's all so confusing.

I think i'll just give up on looking for headphones. The learning curve is too high and both my interest and time for learning about it is rather non-existent, i just wanted to get it going, kickback and enjoy.

There is a computer audio sub-section of the forum, where some of the folks posting there probably know your soundcard and what it can do.
