Good bass for a (not) bass-head
I already own the HD 58X Jubilee's. They're great for things with instrumentals and vocals, but the can definitely lag behind in genres that have more bass, say rock for example. I like bass as much as the next guy, but I'm not looking for Beats 😂. What do you recommend from what's on here today Aug 15/24? Meze 99? Ultrasone Signature X? HE-RD7X? Or, should I wait for some Beyerdynamics to come back in stock? I'd like to stay under ~$220. Thanks.

Listening with Typical Headphones Most headphones have speakers positioned so that their membrane is perpendicular to an imaginary axis through both ears. This creates a sound field at each ear that corresponds to the sound field produced by a voice, instrument, or loudspeaker located directly on this axis on each respective side. The sound is coming from the far left or far right.
Listening with Drop + Grell OAE1 Signature Headphones The speakers of the Drop + Grell OAE1 are positioned so that their bio-cellulose diaphragm is at an angle to the ear, radiating sound waves like a sound source in front of the listener. This positioning also corresponds to the direction of sound incidence (first wavefront) of loudspeakers that are optimally positioned for stereo reproduction.
