Ok guys, the last part of my system upgrade plan is this, suggest a good headphone strictly under 2k for music(and gaming but that's secondary).

Now, I just love bass, so the more the better but never overkill, lows should be clear as possible without getting trampled by the bass, no need for mic.

And also the shape should be as normal as possible, not those around the ear cr@p.

Headphone as in headphone, not iems.

I dont really know much about those in your price range.
But as far as reviews go,
Check this thread on head-fi
Shootout: 82 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Superlux HD668B & Prodipe Pro 800 added 05/15)

And if you can stretch your budget by 400, get the koss porta pro.

However if you are comfortable with sourcing your Cans from abroad , you have a wider choice to choose from.
You could also search for similar threads on techenclave's forums. They have a really good audio sub community.

Sony has good bass, that far I can tell from my EX35 but why does everyone go gaga over sennheiser?
