I recently got a pair of 558s and it feels like my ears are being jerked off every time I listen to anything.

I am not sure of how I should react to this.

Before you buy amp and dac.  My thoughts on the M50x  Ultimate Ears Reference monitor review I might have a thing for audio...

My main Headphones and IEMs:  K612 pro, HD 25 and Ultimate Ears Reference Monitor, HD 580 with HD 600 grills

DAC and AMP: RME ADI 2 DAC

Speakers: Genelec 8040, System Audio SA205

Receiver: Denon AVR-1612

Desktop: R7 1700, GTX 1080  RX 580 8GB and other stuff

Laptop: ThinkPad P50: i7 6820HQ, M2000M. ThinkPad T420s: i7 2640M, NVS 4200M

Feel free to pm me if you have a question for me or quote me. If you want to hear what I have to say about something just tag me.

The 558 are better overall, but while warm they are not bassy.

I have SENNHEISER CX 300 II earbuds, and they seem way more bassy when the Cloud 2's, but when I googled I saw that the 558's are even more bassy when the earbuds

The 558 has bass... but it's accurate and refined bass, it's not head thumping bass if that is what you think you will be getting...

 

If what you are after is a bass cannon headphone, look at the JVC HA-SZ2000. Otherwise if you want bass from an open headphone I'd say take a look at the Fidelio X2 or DT990.
