Any suggestions on basshead headphones that handle Hip-Hop, and Jazz well? (Ex. Miles Davis, Charles Mingus, etc..)

Mad Dogs With Alpha Pads
I tried the Mad Dogs and feel IMHO they are far from a basshead can. Very disappointing but to each their own I guess. I did A/B with them alongside my Q-40's and it was no contest. They were returned.

Do you have a price range? And do you have anything to amp with?
With the mad dogs and an e11 you will be quite beyond your price range, mad dogs alone are 300$ and not that bassy unless you switch the pads (alpha pads mentioned earlier) look at the v-moda m100's, the beyerdynamic dt770 pro 80's, and the q40's, these all leave you with room to purchase an amp as well. Oh and look at the audio technica pro 700 mk2.
As long as the E11 is $50 on amazon, I'll be fine with the price. A few month earlier, I was deeply interested with the Pro700mk2's, but the M-100's stole their thunder.
Also, do you have any comments on the Logitech UE6000, and their sound with Jazz music?
I feel like if I pair the Mad Dogs with an E11, we could have a breakthrough on our hands, does anybody have any comments?

By the way, all my comments about loving Q-40's and DT770's and disliking Mad Dogs were mainly from listening to Smooth Jazz (high energy upbeat, not old school slow style) - I say this just as a point of reference.
I prefer the Q-40's over the DT770's, so would they be a good fit for me
Absolutely. I prefer the Q40's as well. What artists are you listening to? Me - Boney James and Paul Hardcastle are two favorites. Good music for Bassy phones.
I've played Jazz myself for a little while, but I'm just now listening to it regularly, I'm more of Miles Davis and Charles Mingus fan myself, but I'll be sure to check those artists out as well.
