What kind of bass?

I've owned Senn 600 and 650 and I'd say the overall presentation (including the bass) is just about perfect for classical music because the bass seems expansive without being overdone.

My favorite headphones for jazz are AKG K701 because the presentation is leaner and very precise.

Techno fans will probably prefer different headphones altogether. I don't listen to much Techno but my favorite headphones for Rock are Grado RS-1.

Headphones that provide gutsy or "visceral" bass with one genre of music can sound overly bassy with a genre that requires precision in bass. I've never heard a pair of headphones that can do all genres equally well, so I choose a headphone to match the kind of music I'm playing.

What genre(s) do you listen to most?
