! I can't listen to much treble; it hurts my ears. Can I adjust to more bass, less treble? Any distortion?

There are separate controls for both bass and treble. You will probably be able to come to a balance to fit your need. I have not had a problem with distortion.

There just some cheap speakers. I doubt you would be satisfied by turning the bass down. Cheap speakers.

You can't. But you can (bear with me) in one of 3 ways. While there are no controls marked Treble & Bass, hitting the "Sound Mode" button effectively brings up the treble & brings down the bass in a fixed configuration. OR you can use the "sub woofer" +/- for more subtle grades OR you can go to the "menu" mode on your TV (most of them have same nowadays) and adjust the treble/bass functions there. I realise none of these is as simple as the old T/B function was (is, on many other systems) but they DO work, quite well.

I bought a pair of IE80s for my wife. The soundstage and detail seems roughly equivalent, but the IE800 has way more bass presence. Tuning the bass on the IE80s might improve it, but I did not experiment with that in my (brief) test. In terms of comfort I prefer the 800s but that's a very personal thing - some would prefer the over-the-ear setup of the 80s.

my shure headphones seem to be not very bassy at all... anyone else feel that way? I'm not a bass freak or anything I love highs and mids but the se535's seem to have less bass than my old se215's... Seems a bit strange

Great Bass, Great Treble, it overall is a great headset. Linus has a really great review on their headsets on youtube /watch?v=XxHFOk0YwuI

Its not possible to adjust Bass or treble on the sound touch player or on the app. In fact Bose never has a bass or treble adjustment on any of its small players. They want u to enjoy the music in a pure state and they use their own sound processing to do this which eliminates distortion at high levels so u can crank the volume really loud.

Disclaimer: I've spent quite a bit of time forcing these puppies into various depths and angles to try to find ANY angle where they produce any sort of bass, and I've failed miserably. I'm sure it's too late for these folks, but for anyone else in the same boat... To answer your questions directly, no - the design is COMPLETELY different from the Sonys, and I can't imagine anything like that problem would happen to these (it's pretty much all hard plastic (except for the interchangeable plugs.) However... as I'm also moving on from my previous two sets of the Sony headphones you guys are talking about, I should warn you that I'm thoroughly disappointed with the Etymotics. You should be forewarned that the Sonys you've been listening to, though not nearly as high quality a can as the 6i's, are rather bass-heavy. You probably already knew that, but as almost every review will echo, the 6i's are VERY light on bass. This equation will probably have you in the same boat as me, ready to return them because they HAVE TO BE BROKEN to sound that 'top-heavy'! I know, I know, bass isn't everything - but when you're going from a Sony to one of these it's just too big of a loss, no matter how much more 'accurate' they might be. And I'm sorry, but 20Hz? No way. Using test sources I dont' notice anything until 64Hz, and for an in-ear phone that's simply unacceptable. Only when I set my EQ to +12dB on 64Hz, with an even slope such that it's flat at 250Hz, do things ALMOST sound natural. Final recommendation: Don't buy them unless you've had a chance to listen to them, or know you can return them. And go ahead and SCHEDULE the return trip in your planner.

I would check three things.. is there enough bass.. is the sensitivity adjustment correct and is the master / slave switch in its correct setting. Mine came with it in slave mode and I had to switch it to master.

Change sound settings to turn off equalizer and adjust the bass (up) and the treble(down)...helps a little

Play with the audio settings. There are quite a few. Default settings sound poor (hollow,low volume) but can be adjusted to more than adequate. Cant remember orig settings, but can give you my AUDIO setup config:SRS TruSurround HD <Off>SRS TruVolume <On>Equalizer Settings <OFF> *important* Base <75>Treble <50>Make sure the EQ setting is not set to Rock, Pop or Disco (they sound like garbage). Setting it to OFF allows access to Base & Treble menu/adjustments. Overall the sound is above average for what you are paying. More than ample volume once you get the settings tweaked.

Thanks. I was afraid of that. Sine wave sweep? Spl meter? I just want to turn down the treble a bit.

No, you can only adjust the bass by turning the on/off switch, which is located at the back of the subwoofer. There is no way to adjust the treble. If you download a graphic equalizer, you would then be able to adjust the treble and other sounds the way you like.

If you have these headphones, your bass should be kicking! I get strong bass even when driven from an iPod. Check the headphones with a different source, plug them into something else and see if that improves the bass. If it does, then your source is not driving the headphones well. If there is restricted bass even with another source, I think you have a bad set of headphones that need to be returned. These things are very strong in the bass. Mine were bass happy out of the box, but the recommendation to loosen them up is a good one and I support that.

You can adjust the bass through advanced sound editor which you can download from turtle beach website. TB actually recommend doing this and restoring to factory setting and downloading latest firmware. There is instructions on how to do this on the support website, if you have any problems let me know..

These headphones sound more like a fine tuned night club. The bass is present, lush, tight, and gorgeous. An amp will only help, but isn't necessary. If there's no bass in the song, you won't hear any. If you want that "bass in your face" feeling, I'd recommend the XB500, which is far cheaper. It will make any song sound bassy, and sounds more like 2 15" juggernaut subwoofers rattling in your car. Not nearly as clean. Personally, I enjoy the XB1000's, but pick whatever one sounds like you'd be into.

Believe me, it plays plenty loud without distortion. Make sure you properly place it in the room and the bass response will be fine.

You could turn the volume way up if needed. I play mine at a low to medium volume so I think you would be just fine. Hope this may help you out. LRE
