Hi I'm looking at two Sennheiser Headphone models and can't decide which ones to buy.

First at this link:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=16_222&item_id=031011

Frequency response (headphones) 18 - 22000 Hz

Impedance 32 Ω

Sound pressure level (SPL) 110 dB

THD, total harmonic distortion <0.1% (1kHz/100dB)

Ear coupling circumaural

Transducer principle (Headphones) dynamic, closed

Cable length 3 m single-sided OFC cable with 3.5 mm gold straight plug / 6.3 mm gold adaptor plug

Second is at this link:
http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=16_222&item_id=031013

Frequency response (headphones) 16 - 24000 Hz

Impedance 32 Ω

Sound pressure level (SPL) 114 dB

THD, total harmonic distortion <0.1% (1kHz/100dB)

Ear coupling circumaural

Transducer principle (Headphones) dynamic, closed

Cable length 1.4 m single-sided OFC cable with 3.5 mm gold straight plug / 1.6 m extension cable / 6.3 mm gold adaptor plug

Why I can't decide:

In the overview tab they both say they have neodymium magnets but the cheaper one with slightly lower specs emphasizes the bass in it's description:

# High-output neodymium magnets for a stereo sound with powerful bass

But the more expensive pair with better specs only sais:

# Advanced acoustic system with powerful neodymium magnets and lightweight diaphragms for a lifelike stereo sound experience

I'm confused as to whether the more expensive pair has weaker bass, the b level is 114 as opposed to 110 and a greater Hz range. Or if it's just not mentioned in the description. Also, if you click the review tab on the expensive pair's link he says 'not too much bass, just enough'.

Does that mean it will suck for bass heavy music or is that just not possible with headphones this expensive?

If they have the same magnets would the bass be the same on each or is it a specific feature of the cheaper pair?

Any ideas?
