The MMX300's are the best sounding gaming headsets out there right now. There's not too much bass and it certainly doesn't lack bass . The mic does leave a bit to be desired compared to Sennheiser's but every other aspect is better on the MMX300's. The MMX300 is definitely for those who don't mind spending more for sound quality and build quality. I've personally owned this headset for 2 years now and haven't had a single issue. I've found that they're particularly nice at LAN parties.
