So I have a pair of Sony MDR-1R's and love them for their comfort and profile. I put a strong emphasis on comfort since I like to listen to music for long periods of time. The cups and fit (I have a fairly narrow head) are just perfect. But recently I started to listen to more hip-hop on them, and...meh. The sub-bass is just not there at all. These sound absolutely great for things like classical, and vocals especially stand out, but I'm really disappointed by the undefined bass and lack of bass output. Granted I have not tried them with an amp, but have listened to them through a good soundcard in my PC with similar results.
I was wondering if someone could recommend me a high quality headphone in a similar price range (<$200) that are very comfortable and have a similar profile, but kick up and tighten the bass a notch that would sound good for hip-hop. I was curious if the ATH-M50x's beat them in this regard but I've heard mixed reviews on their bass response. I do prefer a detachable cable, but for the right headphone this is not necessarily a requirement. I'm not super knowledgeable about this stuff and any recs are very appreciated.
