Does anyone hear a loss of quality when using them wirelessly with a mac? Also, do they have a good amount of bass?

No loss in quality when using them, via Bluetooth, on my 2012 15" MacBook Pro. The sound profile of these has been changed compared to the old Studio headphones, the ones made by Monster. Beats split from Monster a while back and have finally started to update their headphones for the better. Like the previous Studio headphones, the bass on the new Studios (i.e. these ones) is pretty heavy. However, the highs have also been given an equal amount of attention. They no long sound like the headphones are playing through a 1ft layer of mud. So the bass is still heavy but the highs sound much better too. I sold my old Studio headphones a while back as I hated the way they sounded but I will be keeping these ones.

To get the real deal you might want to get an audio interface. If you're just using them w/ an mp3 player you really won't notice how good they can sound.

They dont exactly lack bass in measurements but if you are used to bass heavy stuff like sony xbs or skullcandies, it will seem lacking.If you want something more bass heavy in this price range theres the m audio q40, sony xb500, donscorpio dolphin from penon audio, and phillips citiscape downtown)

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 have not had my pair ever do that. They play all sound ranges great. Best pair of headphones I have had. Had a pair of AKG 240's before. Very natural uncolored sound. Not heavy over loaded bass like Beats or Bose.

Thanks for the reply! I will definately start downloading music at a higher format. As for my office, know my co-workers are in the office because I can hear their keyboard clicking as they type, up to 3 cubes away. I really like these headphones, but have decided to play it safe and go with the AudioTechnica M50 instead. Maybe next purchase I'll get the HD555 sens for home or something.

Don't understand why you mention the headphone jack...don't these speakers work without headphones? I'm looking for a way to boost the sound of my macbook pro so I can work with music from my macbook pro in a studio and hear it.

The bass on them is actually really awesome.. I noticed with mine that the cord that you plug into the headphone jack didn't last a super long time but I just use blue tooth and they are awesome.

I purchased mine a while ago and I mostly use it for my iPod and my laptop, for movies and online streaming of shows. I think the sound resolution is great. The bass is not overpowering, and the sound is rich. The ear-pads sit well on your ears and are not painful, so you don't end up with something compressing your head. In addition, what I mostly like about these headphones is that once you put them on, it diminishes outside noise. Even better. So to answer your question, then yes: this product is great for listening to music at home. Plus it comes with its own bag. Bonus:)I hope this review was helpful.

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

They sound good beside an iMac, so I assume if you balance them correctly, they'll sound good on one too.

That's all I do is burn from my MAC using iTunes. Burn it at a slower speed like 16x. I have had 100% success and the sound quality is phenomenal. I won't buy anything else but these anymore.

I've been useing them with my computer and tv and have found they work really well without messing with the sound or volume. Hope this helps.

Hi, I have these connected to my MacBook Pro laptop. But the think I really love is that I also discovered they could be connected to my iPod nano! So far I am really pleased with the sound and quality.

Nope--you're good to go! I've had my speakers for several months now & have been using them w/my MacBook Pro. They're great!!

I think they will. I use 'em with my MacBook Pro 15", and I cart it around with me while I'm doing chores - kitchen, bathroom while I shower, bedroom while I get ready for work, etc. I'm usually either listening to podcasts or watching Netflix while doing this stuff, and I don't have the volume up that high, and I can hear everything just fine. I work in a loud warehouse environment, and I took these to work with me one day to see how they'd fare hooked up to my mobile workstation, and again, I didn't have them turned all the way up, and I could hear my music just fine on Pandora and Spotify.
