bass is suuuuuper true but if your source is good it can be really deep. as far as bass goes, mr balloon hands by ott or coast is clear by skrillex really come to mind as sounding fucking incredible in these. they won't rumble though, and cranking the bass eq on my fiio e17 just distorts it, so bassnectar and friends can come out a little weak. i already had sennheiser hd598's, which are pretty good for acoustic or classical and other mellow stuff, and the xb500, which are literally the most rumbly headphones ever produced, but they're not very clean sounding at all. i bought the beyer's so i could relive my angsty teenager days and blast mcr without it sounding like shit (hd598 doesn't do too well at higher volumes). the only real downside to me with the beyers is that they're a little uncomfortable until you get used to them (the clamp is like way tighter than most headphones i've used, turns out it's a good thing), and they can get a tad sibilant when loud, but that doesn't really bother me.

if you want insane bass rumble but don't care too much about sound quality go for the sony xb500. the low range goes down to something stupid, like 2hz, and the bass eq on my amp/dac just makes them more rumbly. pretty sure i couldn't blow them out with the fiio if i tried. they're also definitely the most comfortable of the three, so that's a bonus.

ayy man gee's solo album is great btw, you should check it out. frank's too, but it's a little *aaaaarrrrrgggghhhhh* for my taste unless i'm feelin real angsty. caught frank on his tour a couple months ago and he fucking killed it but the crowd was all fourteen year old girls who wouldn't put their cell phones away so the energy was shit. he's opening for against me on their tour rn which will be fucking incredible but they won't be anywhere near me :/
