how much bass do these have in comparison to an everyday portable speaker like the beats pill?

These speakers are designed to replace a 3 1/2" in a car system. They probably will not have as much bass as a small portable system that is designed to deliver full range. I have them in my 2001 Corvette that has a bass speaker just below them in the door and this combination sounds great! As a stand alone you will only get mid range and highs.

They have incredible bass! You can feel the deep pounding of the bass drums and it sounds excellent. I use an Android phone with DSP Manager and turn the bass boost to extreme to get the effect maximized and these headphones don't distort at all even at higher volumes.

The bass is decent. Not like skull candies but still quite a bit. As for listening to music, their great. By far the best earbuds i have ever had in that price range of 10 bucks or so. They lasted me about 5 months till they went out.

They have a lot more bass "response" than regular, cheap ear buds. And they don't have to be perfectly positioned to get the bass. People who like Hip Hop or strong bassline music will find it them punchy.They still suffer from the same limitations of earbuds in this price range. They are not hi fidelity by any means. It hasn't mattered if I run them straight through an mp3 player, laptop generic sound interfaces or dedicated headphone amps. But hey, for the price, they're fine.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

Look at the MDR-XB600. They don't have as much bass, but they still do the job.

Well I've only heard the pill in store only, on Bluetooth once. But the Beatbox Portable is a champ. If you play music in a small room with the portable, it may overwhelm you

They don't tell you, I've searched everywhere on the internet can't find anything, but I can tell you that they sound fantastic, way better then beats. They have a deep non boomy bass and very good clear mids and highs.

My son has beats which has a bass better bass response. I prefer Monster as it is better balanced in tone.

These aren't that way. You're right most (beats or whatever) just have a ton of low quality bass. These are a good all around headphone. ++ to RHA

I too have listened to the Beats Pill. It was nice sound, but the Phillips beats the Beats Pill, in my opinion for clarity and dispersement. I know the Phillips has four speakers and twelve watts total. The Beats Pill might have the same wattage. The only complaint, and that is the ONLY complaint I have for the Phillips after years of constant use is the power button, which is very large, begins to fail mechanically and turning it on and off can take a few tries (In fairness, the speaker is mounted behind my head, on my powerchair. I have to reach behind me and push the dead center of the large button directly into the device; this hard for me, so I don't push it straight or from the dead center.)

Hi Tim, these will not play bass as "much" as the Beats pro which are designed to exaggerate bass, but these have very accurate, tight bass that goes really low. But what you lose in bass volume, you gain in fit and finish, quality, and very accurate and pleasing music.

Better sound quality. Beats are bass heavy but these are not. Well balanced headphones.

The bass is good. The bad is Not over powering the music you listen to. The week before I bought mine. I listened to some beats and it was too much bass can't hear anything else. To loud. SMS headphones are durable. I feel that they will survive.

with a decent power source these should get louder and sound cleaner than the beats. Problem is these aren't built for low end at all. You might want to jump and Parts Express website (they sell stuff though Amazon too). They have several small full range drivers that would probably do a better job for your project and be cheaper. The DB351 would sound great with a small 4" woofer though, properly setup.

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.

While Beats carries bass very well, you can customize the controls to your needs. Personally, I like the sound system very much.
