Know all about good bass. If it doesn’t ripple the shirt it’s not trying. I seem to remember that closed ear cans were required to get the best bass response and you might need to go with wired cans to move enough power. I suggest a good headphone amp and equalizer coupled to a good(!) pair of studio reference cans. With this setup you can push as much power as you want in any particular style you like.

My hearings shot. Last pair I bought were Grado sr-80 for the high end response. Needed somewhat bright cans to replace what I lost. Can’t use open ear things cuz the neighbours hear. Only listen rarely.

Edit: check headphones.com. Get their advice.

Bright is okay, but you can’t give up my deep.

Let’s keep trying, this is one thing I’m willing to be diplomatic on. It can rumble from the ear, I’ve heard it.
