Save your pennies up and get good headphones and just about any $20-$50 mic. Gayming headsets are getting better audio quality over the last few years, but they still don't make sense because practically all of them have awful mics for no real reason at all, and only a few have a half decent mic. If you want meaningful bass, you're going to have to get closed back headphones. The HD 620S is alright. The HD 480 Pro is better if you have the money and want better sound and much better build quality. I'm not the biggest fan of Sennheiser in general, but these models are good. No matter what headphones you get, you should get EQ APO with the Peace addon (both are free) for parametric equalization. Diminishing returns hits like a nuke over $400 in headphones. Go over that price, and you're almost exclusively paying for looks. I'd even argue anything over $250ish isn't worth it sound quality wise if you learn how to use PEQ.
Sony MDR-M1 is another one to keep your eye on. If you have a smaller budget, the FiiO FT1 is possibly your best bet, but there are build quality concerns.
