Thanks
Maybe I should listen to music without bass. For all we know Bass could just be noise though I have no idea why it sounds good I just can't put my finger on why boosting low frequency makes songs more musical and dark.
You want great SQ and plenty of bass, then your budget will need an increase. You can then entertain Planar Magnetic/Orthos or a good dynamic can. In any case you'll have to EQ up the bass as quality headphones don't have highly elevated levels of bass, they have high quality bass. If you want gobs of bass you can go to an Apple store and pick up a pair of Beats, however, I suspect that would be a hard lesson as the bass will not be the same quality, the overall SQ will stink but one would have a fashion statement.
Many people learn the hard way, their wallets take a severe beating along the journey with a resulting pile of discarded headphones. I would think carefully and save up a bit before taking the leap and land on my feet.
I suspect that an HD600 or HD650 with about 6 dB of carefully applied EQ might do the trick. If you need more than that, you are probably speaking to the wrong crowd and perhaps a basshead thread would be better for your quest.
