For you, I would suggest these:

When I joined this site, I learned that basehead was the term given to those of us who truly love base. This is the first time I am hearing that the term is in association with drugs. So hmm, yeah, I'm going to take a pass on the whole drugs thing, cause that aint my style, but I'll take deep brain shaking base for 199.99 please.

Looks like a nice pair of can's, pretty red color, and I could easily power them off the AMP I got now. Strange though, that I can't pull up a driver size spec, and prices seem all over the place depending on where ya buy. I appreciate the recommendation, but I already purchased my can's from Drop.
Holy Schitt stack, 90mm drivers? WOW!
I generally like to stay away from gaming headsets, as they are usually garbage in my experience. But 90mm, thats hardcore yo! I do notice that they are planar magnetic drivers though, so doesn't that mean I need a special AMP to drive them things? Cool they brought a Star Trek Fazor for the voice guides. 
Aluminum and steel construction also seem nice. I've never seen a metal gaming headset before, usually they are all plastic. Another thing I don't like about headsets, is they tune huge levels of compression in the mic's. They do it for noise canceling obviously, but it always makes voices sound like your talking in a tin can, which is why all the pro streamers on YouTube, use pro condenser mic's.Believe it or not, I have always felt the same way. His anime obsession, combined with a personality that comes off like that is a man who is on drugs, does raise concerns. I have always taken Zeo's opinions with a grain of salt. But I do admit that there is only a couple reviews on YouTube of the Ultrasone Signature X's, so its only natural that I would pull up Zeo's video to check the can's out in detail.
But just an FYI, I don't only take my reviews from YouTube. I also read reviews on Head-Fi, thats why I am here, to hear it from you folks, who have actually used them. And besides, Zeo's last video of him opening the newest pair, he was sick as a dog, and thus his quality suffered greatly in his unboxing video. But I am so glad that I waited all these months to buy these since their original release, because that means I get the better quality thicker pads, to keep my ears off the drivers!
Thats cool that its got that strong LP2 level bass too. I remember reading on the hardest hitting bass thread that CB used to like the Ultrasones too for bass. I also got the LP2 few years back and recently the Crossfade Wireless 2 whch I didn't think would compete with it, but when I tried it wired recently, with around 1.6w going in to it and eq with high bass + high volume, it sounded fairly similar in strength, the pads are a bit thicker than the lp2 which is good but the headband can still be a bit stiff
