I come from the time ok Klipsch Image S4’s, Monster Turbines, Denon headphones… I think the Philips Fidelios were in there… I don’t remember the others…

But none of those are made anymore. What are the current offerings? Also amps or DAP’s? Do Sony’s still have their Clear Bass? I remember it being amazing on an MP3 player but is pretty Meh in the app for my XM5’s

Nothing beats TH900 from my experience, especially with either ZMF Ori or Eikon lamb pads. Atrium Closed is even better in terms of subbass and overall balance, but aren't quite as mid-bass heavy. LCD-X 2021 (and newer) have very low distortion and can handle a ton of EQ, but at stock it's pretty lean.
