Headsets for under $400

[SLiKRiC]

I'm looking for a headset with a nice deep bass sound. Going to use it for gaming and music mainly. Something sick for movies as well. Any suggestions?

I have used just about every "gaming" headset you can buy and while I prefer the sound stage of sennheiser If it's base you hold dear while still sounding fantastic you are going to go with the mmx300 which is what I am currently using. I normally use my game zero's but took them to a lan party so at home I plugged in my mmx300's and just never plugged my sennies back in.

HE-400s with modmic

Planar magnetic = crazy subbass

This. If "deep" bass is called for, a planar will poop on any of the other suggestions so far.

 

I assume also that you're referring to the new HE-400s, not the hold HE-400.

Those Planar look vicious. Gotta check those out

HE-400s looks like it will leave me deaf...I like

Keep in mind, the bass isn't boosted much, just extended. If you want head shakers there are better options.

Don't get me wrong I love that hard bass...I just want too much where it just kind of takes over and kills the sound.

I don't think you can beat platanics if you can afford them in you're price range.

Fidelio X2 perhaps or the original HE-400

You're saying you DO want bass that takes over the sound? Then the sony MDR-XB500 are where it's at.

[SLiKRiC]

Oh damn haha sorry, where it doesnt* take over...

Ha, well then I stand by my recommendation of the HE-400s. Philips X2 would also be a good option, as suggested.
