I found I can recover very low bass without bloating or faking - now my cans sound amazing, more enjoyable + closer to my studio monitors with sub, and much better for mixing (for me). The pro-audio Sonarworks plugin (for VST/RTAS/AAX formats, 21 day trial available) has HD600 correction, and sure enough it corrects for some of the bass rolloff - but it also sounds weird to me elsewhere (at least on my setup & cans) so I started on my own curves, using Voxeng's GlissEQ plugin (free trial available). All the HD600 measurement curves show bass rolloff.

I was struck how the lowest bass notes on that track roll off - not a disaster for listening, but not good for mixing. I want them for mixing, so I ran my reference track on them ( ]The Cure - Open, from the Wish album) - it's super dense but also has rich low bass guitar.
