Try a Hifiman HE6seV2 new for $449.

I think it fits your desired sound (but it needs mods to really shrine): visceral and dynamic with tactile and slammy bass, big stage and awesome detail and imaging.

I heard Mountains and the part you described is incredible. A grand, wall of sound, with huge dynamics and texture.

Definitely recommend building a setup around these insane headphones!

You can PM me for mods and tips. I love these headphones and wish more people would know how crazy they are :)

The HFM HE6SE v2 is a absolute joy, but only if you can power it correctly. I'll pull out my old dx3 pro plus tomorrow (if I have power since there's a snow storm in my area) and try my He6se v2 with them. I had a little bit of fun with EQ and my He6se v2 and man they take EQ super well. I was able to get chest thumping levels of bass but needed a ton of power to get them up there. My beta 22 amp does like 5w at 50 ohms and I was really pushing the volume to 2-3 o'clock with a -40 db preamp gain along with a +40 db bass shelf. Obviously I don't have those settings all the time I just wanted to see how much bass I can get it while still having super clean and detailed bass. Oh also be warned they are pretty heavy with the double sided magnets and all (I think almost 1 lb/450 ish grams)

I think that's the biggest bass shelf I've ever heard of lol... love it. Sometimes you're just in the mood to shake the brain with a little bass rumble. Stay warm tomorrow!
