I do care about room noise, and appreciate headphones that can reproduce it properly. It's one reason I like an open-back somewhat airy presentation. But I wouldn't say I dwell on it. It's mainly just hiss. If the FR graphs show relatively neutral presence in that region, and I can hear the room noise when the track starts, I'm done worrying about it.
Low bass is a great joy for me, not just the shake, but that sublime sensation that you can feel the room and the instrument breathing together. Cello, for instance, is a string instrument, not a woodwind or even percussion, and yet it breathes! That's magical to me.
Don't forget the accessories.
Just buy one of these bad boys:
