Currently own the Corsair Void Pro, While it really is a superb sounding headset, It's bass is fairly tame.

Are there any headsets out that are bass beasts ? I know with software EQ I can turn bass up but it sounds so cheap and nasty.
 
Well, what's the budget?

Also remember that bass is always balancing against details.
Especially closed headphones start fast running out room for other sounds in sound stage when bass becomes stronger.
Open designs have more room for some above neutral bass without it instantly starting to bury details.
 
I use beyerdynamic DT990 and I have a DT770, honestly you wont get a better sound signature for the price, 990s are open and 770s are closed, more bassy, only thing is they are wired but excel when used with a headphone amp

if you want to go the wireless route try the atro A50s, sounds pretty decent and good bass but a bit muddy at high volumes, in my opinion they sound better than the corsairs, I had the steel series 800s, much better but stupidly sold those to by the arctis pros which doesnt sound as good considering they have apparent high res drivers.....
 
I own same void headset. Oddly via windows and corsairs software (EQ) I can achieve a decent sound. Like you I do find the sound feels cheap especially on bass and highs. For music I also set the app itself on Windows to boost the sound but sadly it peaks and woobled the sound.

I breifly connected the corsair usb dongle to my Axon 7 android phone and using power amp (adjusting the bass treble and EQ settings to my tastes) was able to get a quite impressive sound from the wireless voids and the pro's can do "decent full bass". Looks like it's the corsair windows software that hampers the ability of these wireless headphones, well from my perspective anyway.

I've yet to find a decent priced wireless headset that meets my expectations for my pc. Wired headphones it easy when I feed the audio from a decent powered dac.
