Curious about the bass in these speakers... I was wonder was there good bass in these speakers?

I have owned several different speakers and I must admit that I am somewhat of an audiophile. I have had these speakers for 3 days now and I can say that they are decent for their price. To answer your question in regards to bass, it is just okay, nothing extraordinary. Again, it's still good for its price, but just not quite there for me. What I mean there is that the speakers and sub do not pick up on ALL lows, they are not full spectrum and will miss certain lows, and therefore miss certain bass at those frequencies. Also, at higher volume, above medium, you can hear distortion in the bass as well. If you pump the bass up to max and then crank up the volume, you will start to see the negative side of these speakers. I would still recommend these speakers for the price, they are perfectly fine for watching shows/movies and playing games...just not listening to music at high volume.

They have decent bass but they are not bass speakers. Put it this way the more bass you try to put through these the worse your music will sound. Either get these and compliment them with a subwoofer and amp or buy a higher end speaker this is a lower end model.

If you're cranking them up loud all the time, the answer is yes. But if you're using them at normal listening levels, like while working on the computer, the bass response on the speakers is more than sufficient.

I think they sound fantastic. They might be a little bass heavy for you, though. They clearly are built for genres that emphasize the low end, but it's not overpowering nor does it drown out the higher tones, although the mids ARE quite recessed. But again, the "midrange scoop" is pretty common.

Don't expect "Bass" from anything other than a Subwoofer! As for a solid midrange and midbass....yes, this is a good sounding speaker!

I think it's tough to get truly good bass from a 4" speaker. There's bass, but it isn't amazing. For me, still a major improvement over the worn out stock 4" speakers I replaced.

The bass is really good in my experience. I listen to mainly EDM and rap, and do some gaming as well, and these have proved to be stellar for all 3. Also works wonderfully for movies and tv.

I run them on a motor cycle, so my bass is not too good. If in a car, maybe different. A very good speaker thou!

Your guess as as good as mine. I enjoy mine almost every day, but they are wired up to my audio amp. My guess is that Amazon is so fond of these speakers that they want everybody to notice them, regardless of the section they're browsing.

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

The bass is OK, it's not going to give the pounding feeling in your chest but they work quite well? I was very surprised on how well and far the music carried. If it's a pounding bass you need they are not the speakers for you, you would also need a sub. But I would recommend them. I have a dj friend who wants to borrow them if that tells you anything. Good luck.

According to my son, yes they have a good bass sound and they are very clear sounding. I wouldn't know what you mean by "extra" bass sound.

Oh yes! The bass, in my opinion, is fantastic. I tried some 130 dollar earbuds once, and I loved the bass. But these are better. And cheaper.

Sup Chris? I was very satisfied with the sound and physical quality of these speakers. They produce great mids and highs, plus pretty moderate in car bass. if you have subs your life will change:)

No, these are amazing! I bought a pair B stock for $230 off of Ebay (after $20 Bing cashback), and I love them! I have had them for several weeks now with no issues. The only minor expected problem is a tiny rattle in the left speaker when playing LOW bass, as in below 40 Hz. But it's very slight, and as I said, expected. For $230, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the speakers on eBay (sorry it's so long): http://cgi.ebay.com/Audioengine-5-Speakers-White-B-Stock-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ260493630912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca6a15dc0 The black pairs are all out unfortunately.

Depending on what your other speakers are, I actually think they would be a pretty good speaker as a high or wide. The reason I said that it depends in your other speakers is because you typically want your speakers to be timbre matched, otherwise it does not sound quite right. I believe that these are timbre matched to the Polk tsi or monitor speaker series.

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.
