Audiotechnia ATH M50S lacking bass?

by tapasdesai - 12/5/12 12:49 PM

I recently purchased the ATH M50S from reading the glowing reviews on amazon and cnet.

They are great headphones. The mids and lows are very crisp, but I feel they lack bass for some reason.

My reference has been the Bose QC3s.
I know they are twice as expensive and on ear, but I really dont see how a closed ear design would reduce the bass by so much, while maintaining crisp audio.

Am I the only person who feels that way about them?

Can you guys recommend me something I might like in the $100 price range?
