My pair of Teufel Massive just broke, and they just stopped making this model.
I need a new pair of headphones and have nothing against a upgrade.
My hearing profile is mainly electronic music on various genres, but I have a focus on large massive sounding bass but also crisp highs and nice mids, but not the fake DSP bass modern powered headphones do.
The Teufel Massive did that perfectly for me.

Someone here who can recommend a good pair of headphones that should fit my listening profile. I have nothing against needing a headphone amp for them. But no bluetooth or usb powered ones please.

The 598s are very good, as the other poster mentioned. Mine broke a few years back and I replaced with Philips SHP9500 - they’re the most comfortable headphones I’ve ever worn and I think they sound great.

The question for me is, do they have this earthshaking level of pure, BIG, undistorted bass that I am searching for(like sitting next to a good quality sub). That is something I just loved on my Teufel Massive.

Definitely not. They're fairly neutral which I like, but isn't what you seem to be looking for. Being open-backed certainly doesn't help.
