Looks like I'm not the only one feeling that way! Check out

"(cheap headphones)...as do most headphones, grossly distorted the
bass because (a) people want that, and (b) it compensates for poor
sound quality."
"It felt like I was back in the studio. I think it was the only time I
heard our music the way I remember it sounding during mix down...Once
I got over the fact that they don't artificially boost the bass, I was
able to hear the music the way it sounded in the studio, or at least
as close to that as my CD player (a Yamaha CDRW and Winamp) can come
to that. It's scary, I hear everything. I heard sounds in classic
albums I've been listening to for years that I didn't know were there.
It's as close to being there as I've ever experienced."

"The most striking characteristic of the 80s (SR 80) is the bass,
which is phenomenal. The 60s were capable with the bottom end, but the
80s really pump it out. Firstly, the 80s can simply produce more and
deeper bass. Secondly, the lows are very fast and accurate...The lows
range from smooth, rolling lines to fast, hard kicks. And the record
sounds terrific through the 80s: dynamic, full, and very natural. The
mids and highs are just as impressive. But while the bass is a steep
step up from the 60s, the rest of the sound is very similar (to the SR
60). The highs are steady and smooth, never buzzy or annoying. High
detail is present without any false accentuation. I hate to get
abstract, but the mids are very warm. Acoustic guitar, voices, and the
like all sound very natural and even. The response through the middle
seems to be nicely flat and seamless."

On a personal note, I have not felt uncomfortable while using the SR
80 but that may be because I rarely listen to music continously on
headphones for more than 3 hours. Also, as one the reviews mentioned,
the cans are great for watching DVDs say, on a laptop or PC without
surround sound. Fantastic channel separation and deep, deep bass -
King Kong sounded so good I couldn't believe I was using headphones!
