How well do these sound for Rock and Roll? Seems today's gear is focused on Hip Hop deep bass vs. sonic detail. A rating of 1 to 10. 10=best. Thx

I would honestly give it a 1-2. I bought a pair of these specifically for the "subwoofer" bass in it and all it did was vibrate. There is a tiny bit of bass, but you could do a lot better than these.

sorry for the late response, but these headphones are alright for rock and roll. I find that you do have to crank up the volume more than with other headphones but the sound quality is pretty clear. 6.5/10 for sound quality. this is without using the bass booster though, I'd give it a 3/10 with the bass booster on

Well obviously this can be a subjective question. But to me, yes, there's plenty of bass. Compared to something like beats, maybe not as much but I'd say the overall sound is really good and it gets quite loud. Also considering the price compared to the beats I would choose these every time.

I completely agree. To make bass, you have to move air.Having said that, these actually do so very well. I'm under the impression that those claiming the E2C doesn't produce bass either aren't getting a proper fit or don't understand how incredibly flat the frequency responce is (and should be).If you want boomy bass try Sony. They're cheaper.

They sound great with no distortion. Has good mids (7/10), decent trebles (8/10) and heavy bass (10/10) although it might appear a bit too bassy for some but that's how I like my workout music. Overall I would rate sound quality 8/10.

AKG Q701's are designed for detailed listening. They are better suited for Rock, Jazz, Classical. They won't produce the low end bass that Hip Hop etc.. require. Try a pair of Beats.

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

Yes they have an exaggerated bass. It makes your whole skeleton shake. Not sure about the break in because I have only had them 2 days. They are not bad, just seems they are designed for rap and techno so if that is what you enjoy then you will love them but not recommended for head-bangers and rockers. Ill say one thing though: Rage against the machine never sounded so good (first album) as they do with these headphones.

Any good quality headphones require a burn in period. And I find the bass great. I am not a fan of sub woofer takeover. I like my sound crisp and clean.

bass response will depend on your players eq settings, your earbud size, and the volume you listen at...clarity is great w/ dynamic range that goes as hi as 23K Hz. these are not designed as "extra bass" headphones per say (sony has other models that are sold as such) but when properly configured the 13.5mm drivers of these dish out plenty.see my other review for more details...

The bass on them is great... not over powering like many head phones, but just right to give whatever your listening to a good kick

They all say the bass sounds good...but I am telling you as a bass lover...the bass in these highly disappointed me. It is VERY weak. I have to give the answer here because I bought these earphones based off all the positive answers to this very question. Just don't. They also hurt if you have smaller ear canals. Using their smallest earbuds doesn't help.

They are no so bass heavy as to creat distortion with pop or rock. It's just relative to the M-100s I think they have a bias toward the bass end of the sound spectrum. There is no distortion, just the beautiful sound no matter what type of music you're listening to.

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

I have had the DR DREI Beats when they first came out and they fell apart and I ddint like em. and then got the Bose ie1 and with the foam tips the bass and all is very good. they sound much beter than the DR drei beats and the Boss IE1 I dont know how they compare to the Boss IE 2 but. they are thgew best sounding pair Iv had so far. but I notice a big difrence with the foam tips, and I plan to up grade the cable hope that will give them even beter bass . I hope this was of some help. I do recamend these they live up to there claim just keep the tips in mind.

Theyre damn good for bass, but the mids are lacking a bit. you may be able to compensate with an eq adjustment

The bass is great. Not overkill like The Beats By Dre. These are more for a listen if a Variety of Music. Beats By Dre cater to the hip hop listener. The Monster NPulse have great HI's and Mids.
