Time to get a new pair of headphones. I'd like something that can dish out lower frequencies really well. Mine did decent (Sennheiser HD497s), but heavy use over a couple years is causing the left headset to get a little rattly when a song has really deep bass. I've also been tossing around the idea of 5.1 surround headphones for gaming, so any recommendations for those is also appreciated. I'm looking to spend under $100 preferably and anything from newegg.com is a plus since I have a gift card to there. Thanks guys.

You are probably looking for something different, but you seriously cannot go wrong with Sennheiser.

What i use:

Great bass response, and from what I have heard over about half a year, the response actually tightens once they are worn in. They are built solid too, i can't tell you how much ive beaten these things up.
