That became obvious when I played the tracks on any other system, as the bass tended to drown out the other parts.

I can't speak to the M-Audios, though. They could do a much better job.
They do, the bass is stunningly accurate, and never puffy, like all over ear headphones.
In fact even the high end shure`s have amazing accurate bass response
