since these are semi-open, how's the bass response?

They have good bass. It is certainly not a bass heavy set but it has a strong presence and has a good punch.

The bass performance reaches my expect. It shows not too deep, and won't shock me after a long time listening.

Certainly. I use them exclusively for my vinyl collection and have been very pleased by the depth of sound they offer. The highs and mid-ranges are clear, while the bass is strong but not overpowering. For the price point, they are 9/10.

Not bad...The headphones only cover the inside area of the ear so they're not thumping super hard. I listen to alternative rock and there's plenty of bass foe me.

Overall sound is very good. Bass is a bit heavy but not over the top. They certainly feel solid and look well built. I haven't had them long enough to know if they will last a long time.My bet is they will last with some decent treatment/storage

More ported I'd say to be honest. They'd hit harder, give you more of that deep rich bass sound. Although if you have them in a sealed box they still hit really well. I have 3 in a sealed box and they smack but I'm switching to a ported box.

For what they are, I'd say they do pretty well. I listen to a lot of metal with double bass and tuned down guitars. These buds do OK. Like any small speaker though, if you turn em up too much they will distort. If I am out running though, the noise blocking from these and I don't have to turn em up too loud to get a good sound from them.

Bass is good, not top of the line frequency response of course but good.. However, if you're using it for music or you think you're getting a sound system you will be disappointed but, overall for the price it sounds clean and clear.

They have really decent musical detail, but I would say the bass is a little lacking. Compensation with EQ helps. I haven't heard the CX 300-II earbuds, but certainly the CX-300 line has a near legendary reputation. I have no regrets getting these for the price.

They are very good. For the money they are great. They do have lots of bass with clear highs. I am sure that some audiophiles will have some complaints (don't know what they would say) but no reasonable person could say that they aren't great for the money.

Iv found you can get the bass pretty high well low :p and iv had them extremely high volume wile testing tho i leave it in matrix mode due to it sounds clearer and more even wile still getting the surround sound effect.

These are small speakers so bass will be limited. However, after a month or so of breaking them in you be surprised at how much bass there is. And, they are bigger than you expect, but they are still small speakers - do not expect window-rattling bass.

They are a fair speaker the bass is not bad in volume however it does tent to sound quite muddy I would personally get a set of the Rockford prime series in the 6 x 8 as I own both of these.T he improved sound is worth the extra cost. good luck

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.

I use these as my left and right speakers in a surround sound system. I am no audio technician by any standard but it takes a little while for the speakers to "loosen up" to reproduce good sound ranges. Once they are broken in, about a week or so, they have very good midrange and acceptable high-end response. Bass is a little weak on these, but if you are using it in a home theater your subwoofer will take up the slack on that. that being said, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase them again, they are very good speakers for the price.

I haven't really sweat a lot in them. The foam is pretty thin, so I'm a bit worried about how long they'll last in general, but they're replaceable, so probably not a big deal. Sound is good, unless you require monster bass.

As long as you're not looking for booming bass, they should be plenty loud enough, imo

I haven't used them for long time to see differences. To my ears the sound is the way i want from the beginning (i do not like heavy bass and prefer to be slightly bright in the high frequencies).
