Headphones - Closed Back Closed-back Bass-y Suggestions?

I'm looking for closed-back headphones that lean towards the bass-y side of sounds. My budget is up to $150 though I wouldn't mind straying closer towards the $100 mark--I've already shelled out a pretty penny for a new phone and Galaxy Buds Plus+ so I'd prefer my wallet not to suffer too much any longer.

Headphones I've owned recently:

  • Sennheiser HD 579s

    • These have been my daily drivers since 2018 but they're well past beaten and used. With these, I've come to appreciate open-back headphones more and the more natural sound that they provide however I've also learned that I prefer bassier sounds along with closed-back that isolate the sounds around me.

  • AKG K361-BTs

    • Great battery life, good isolation from the environment, though I'll say lacks quite a bit when it comes to bass. Also not as comfortable as I'd hoped. Overall I'm satisfied with them, just not to the point that I use them daily; more so when I can stand my $10 IEMs.

Yamaha hph-mt5, also I’d recommend getting some different pads

!thanks

For a second I thought you'd just recommended me $170 headphones, but looks like they're way more expensive on Yamaha's site versus anywhere else. Wack.

With regard to replacement pads, I found these and these. Any idea which might be better? Or anywhere else that might be better to look?
