JVC HP-DX1000
 
And I'm not trying to sell mine to you. I have a buyer who I'm waiting on a PayPal transfer from. I'm going to buy them again at some point but have to sell them to get a DAC.
 
The SZ2000 can get you what you want for cheap IF you're willing to EQ heavily. They're extremely capable headphones with the most bass potential of any can out there, but they kinda sound crappy the way they are tuned by default.

They're rather polarizing from what I've heard other people say. You either love them or you hate them and its the same with their IEMs.
 
That's what I mean with the EQ. If you can be bothered then they may work. 
 
EDIT: They also need a pad swap to sound their best.

  I've been told that the LCD-2 are a good upgrade for my HD650's and they will pair well with my Burson Conductor Virtuoso.
 
Is this the kind of headphones you recommend ?
 
I really wanted a cheap bass heavy can with clean and tight Bass, it doesn't have to be monitor grade, It's just for some hiphop and dancehall music which I love.
 
Having said cheap I would consider $1000 affordable. no offense intended to anyone.

Yea, that's the kind. As a generalization, planars have deep flat bass which can hit hard when called for while still having really good mids. I recommend the non-fazored edition as on the fazor edition the bass seems to be rolled off a bit and I didn't like it as much. Just keep in mind that the LCD-2 has rolled-off treble and a smallish soundstage for an open can. The headband design is also incredibly bad to say the least and weight distribution is incredibly poor.

Strange as I did some research some time back and my final impressions were the LCD 2.2 Fazor editions were the ones to go for, I'm currently collecting cash for it.
 
They were suppose to be close to the sonic signature of my HD650's but better.
 
I'm wondering if I should sell all I have and just go for a Stax set and call it a day!

Man, it's been a while since I've been here....
Today I decided to go through my stuff from storage to make sure it's still working.
I dug this up and it still sounds great! Love the bass on this thing.
 

 
This is definitely going back into the rotation.

Looks like there are some extra bass ports on them as well?
 
 
 
I've got a DT770 shell coming in the mail that'll be receiving some Sony XB1000 drivers and HM5 pads. Looking forward to that. Oh, and I got an LCD-2F and SD-3 on the way. There's a lot of bass in my near future.

My journey is just beginning, but I thought I would throw in my two cents.  I started with the Sennheiser HD 650 and wasn't satisfied so I moved to the AKG K712 and then Sennheiser HD 700.  Craving more bass I started a couple threads and was turned on to the AudioQuest NightHawk.  These are still very new on the market but I am thoroughly enjoying the bass on these.  They blow the previous three models mentioned out of the water in bass and sound quality as well as overall quality.  If I didn't know they were semi-open beforehand I would have said these were close-back headphones.  Being new to the market, and the fact that I am new to hi-fi and Head-Fi, I can only encourage some others to give them a shot!  They are bordering on high-priced for many at $600, but they are worth that much as far as I'm concerned compared to what I have had the chance to hear.  The reviews on this site seem to be mixed on these due to the sound signature.  For my genre preferences of Rap/Hip-Hop/R&B, Metal, Rock/Indie, and EDM, these are perfect.

Are you dead set on "on ear"?  Over ear we can give many good recommendations with the increased comfort they afford. 
 
Also, what is your budget?

Budget is right in the neighborhood of $250
I listen to just about every genre of music, but I listen to old school rap 80s-90s, old school R&B 70s-90s, and blues the most. I will game with them every now and then, definitely use more for music though
Music will be coming out of my Note 5 and as of now no amp, although I do plan on getting an amp in the near future. Should I get an amp now and the headphones later? Or vice versa? Thanks
