Quality gaming headset -- has to be portable

[murphyslabrat]

So, was using the "Creative Aurvana Live!" headphones, and I loved them to death. Unfortunately, death is what happened to them. For their replacement, I am looking at the Sennheiser PC350 for it's portability (it folds up real well). Unfortunately, the reviews I've read describe it as having recessed bass, and I am coming off of a pair of headphones that emphasized bass a bit.

Mostly, I am looking for alternatives to the PC350, but I would appreciate descriptions of it's sound signature. I used a separate mic with the Aurvana Live's, so while I would prefer a headset, I am not at all adverse to a good deal on a pair of headphones.

My criteria are: durable, reasonably collapsible, and a decent sound signature (decent, not necessarily perfect).

--EDIT--
I just noticed the similarity in construction and specs to the PXC 350. The share an impedance of 150 (I have a hotaudio "Destroyer" DAC, so not a problem) and sensitivity of 108db. The Frequency response is a little different, but nothing that can't be accounted for by minor differences in construction. So do they have the same drivers? Has anyone heard both of them?

anybody have any suggestions? You don't have to answer all these questions, just one or two.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I have had bad experience with Steelseries. I have had their 3h, and it was fairly overpriced. The "bass" was good and strong, but anything above 500hz was grainy and lifeless. To top it off, the mic broke after three months of use. I ended up giving the replacement to my little brother, and, after some trial and error, ended on the Aurvana Live's (the ones that just died).

As for the 5h, most of what I've heard has been really negative. I've owned the Plantronics .Audio 370, which is a very similar product. I really didn't like that set, so I don't know if I would go for them. Part of this post is because I have had some excellent experience with Sennheiser (the HD205's, the PMX-100, and my older brother's HD280) and I want to know if I can expect the same level of performance from the PC350's, or if I am going to get the musically impaired "gaming" headphone sound.
