I don't really understand the concept of slam. I have Fostex th900, Sony xm3, Apple air pods pro2, and LCD 2c and they have the least bass of all. I love them for great vocals and mids.

Airpod pros have a very exaggerated bass region though. They’re effectively eq’d.

Slam is less about frequency response (a sine sweep) and more about whether the build and decay are sharp. Your amp matters too, if you have an insensitive headphone and the amp can’t summon the current to make the slam happen it’ll be a dud.
