    Even the bassiest headphones won't sound like a woofer or subwoofer with a good power amp. The diaphragm of a headphone is just too physically small. If you want headphones with the best possible bass, try this site: https://www.audiostance.com/bass-headphones/

    Keep in mind that a good hearing aid is 3-5k. Be judicious about turning it up to 11…

    I have these cheap ones I like for bass, some refurbished Soundcore Life 2 Neo headphones. They have an extra-bass button but it's ridiculous, you'd never need it. (Unless you are you, maybe!) Just an idea though.

    Nuraphones, they have extra speakers just for bass and an 'immersion' slider to fine tune it. I doubt you'll find anything better. They're not the comfiest things in the world though.
