Fidelio x1's are most likely the most bassy open headphone you can find. Our lord and saviour Tyll from inner fidelity reviewed them on YT years ago.
They are also still quite balanced which is kinda insane with the amount of bass they can reproduce.
But they are mid fi headphones so don't expect greatness. They are good overall though and still have that wide soundstage of the later models.
I would suggest a small dac/amp with a bass enhance button/switch.
Kronos hi lo extended edition with my x1's and bass enhancer button on my fiio e10k Olympus is basically a psychedelic experience. It really is insane. Also great bassy sound for cheap. I've had this setup for gaming for years. Might even come up on a decade if I bothered to check.
