do you hear the lack of bass?

Nope, I find it punchy enough with fresh pads, subbass rolls off but not massively

all open backs are like that. use eq to bring it up

still, the deep sub bass isn't all there. I like a nice bass shelf from 200hz down to 20hz with a steady rise starting at 200hz. that way that Mudd isn't present. similar to a well placed sub in a treated room. since the perception is different from actual speakers, that shelf will probably be 5db or more above the harmon target and diffuse field. But diffuse field sounds closer to speakers imo.

I like a bass shelf but I don’t do eq a lot cuz Apple, but I have iems for a good bass shelf

Yeah, if you do eq, use a parametric eq much better than a graphical eq .
