Well, my bass preference is towards sub bass, which is more omnipresent, but not as immediately obtrusive as the thunder bass cannons that typical consumers like. I like ambient rumble, not so much the actual thumping. That's why I love the D7000 so much. The low end is incredibly powerful, but the actual impact is more or less in line with the mids and treble. So it doesn't pound senselessly your head, but fills the room with some theater like bass, while maintaiing the lovely vocals and sparkle on the top end.
I think this is where headsets need to focus on when it comes to bass. Sub bass is infinitely less obtrusive to the rest of the spectrum compared to mid bass, so they should emphasize that, instead of the actual thump. It's a sort of 'loophole' for bassheads that want clarity everywhere else. Of course, if you just want consitent headpounding, then I guess you can enjoy that obtrusive mid bass, while sacrificing vocals and overall clarity.
