Skullcandy Crusher xD
The only thing that headphone is doing right is the bass but everything else is just bad with this headphone.
Meze 99 Classic/Neo/Noir has a lot of bass but is very warm and sounds soulless...
Fostex TH 900 MK2 sounds really good but is of course really expensive...
Then there is maybe the E-Mu Teaks which are okay for their price if you are listening mostly to EDM and Hip Hop.
The older Denon row like AH-D2000/5000/7000 have a really strong bass but as you have already mentioned are discontinued so you would have to get like 10-12 year old headphones from classifieds.
I found the bass from the Focal Elex impressive although it's an open back headphone and some of the ZMF headphones like the Atticus are also great.
Wdym by soulless?
Hard to describe.
Maybe "hollow" is the right word for it?
Still don't get it XD
When I listened to it, it felt like mids were scooped out and the treble was "flat". I guess that's what he means? Like it's just bass and nothing much else. Good bassy headphones usually have some mids and elevated highs. Like a more v-shaped signature, so that at least the rest of the sound is balanced.
