I've owned Senn 598 and I've heard other Senns at headphone meets. They're not good at deep bass. Now, I don't know if the OP is talking about that kind of bass or just mid-bass which Senns can do.
I've also heard plenty of planars, owned the LCD-2 for a short while. Planars can do deep bass, as in, below 40hz.
I don't know how they do it, but listening is believing.
I've also heard the top end Stax 007/009 and they can do deep bass as well.
Just my experience.
I think you're right about the high impedance problem. Gotta have the right amp for that but maybe not 50WPC(!) as one poster claimed.

He was suggesting an amp with 50 wpc @ 8 ohm. Since wattage frequently doubles from 8 to 4 ohm, does it halve from 8 to 16?
If so that would translate to around 1.4 watts at 300 ohm??
I don't know.
I've never seen or heard of a 50WPC into 8 ohms headphone amp.
I've also never heard of a regular amp that would allow that kind of power into the headphone jack.
Somebody else will need to answer your question.
Obviously.

LOL right on the amp thing. I know it doesn't mean much but Sennheiser says they respond from 12-39K but dont say plus or minus what. They are at 300 ohms harder to drive. Especially by some of the lesser expensive tube headphone amps. Thanks for your post. Cheers!
