it claims to have expandable bass. what does that mean? I'm not getting much bass, and when I turn it up, the sound is distorted. how's yours?

We don't turn ours up all that much, just enough to enjoy it in the livingroom/den area. When not turned on full blast, the sound does not seem to be distorted. I can't be certain, but I think "Expandable Bass Resonator" refers to the fact that when the center of the speaker is pulled upward, the interior of the coiled speaker body absorbs a narrow range of sound frequencies and induces vibrations (resonates) affecting the sound of the bass. If you're having problems with your AYL Portable Mini Speaker, or are not satisfied with how it works, contact the manufacturer. You have a 3 year warranty and it seems as though AYL's Customer Service department is actually adept at customer service.

For few days it worked great. Now the sound is probably 5% more than the sound from a cell phone. IT DOES NOT HAVE A EXPANDABLE BASS. I m using it for few days after giving the review n feel like I have done wrong

although I'm not an audiophile, I do not hear any distortion from my system. It is connected to a SONOS internet amp. Last week we had a Loud B-day party and no distortion was heard. yours may be defective or the connection from the system may be generating feedback. If you are looking for bass and treble adj. this system may be too basic for you.

I find the audio more than satisfactory. In fact, compared to the other devices I have owned, the volume is better and the tone sounds very decent. That's my opinion, I hope it helps.

i felt the same way, but i think it has to do with the source. i tried listening to spotify thru mine and there was very little bass, i felt disappointed. but then i watch a movie with dts and the room was shaking. its not as powerful as a dedocated sub, but it has some power if the source provides it

I love mine just the way it is- You can adjust the bass the way you want it, and Iquestion adding more. Thanks Good Luck!! you'll love the unit!!

The bass is very good, however, I must warn you, if you blast it, you'll blow out a speaker, which is what happened to me. Hope this helps. :-)

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

I don't have an issue with the bass setting on mine. Have you checked the EQ on your iPod? Make sure it's not on Super Bass. Or, you can make sure you lighten up the bass setting.

I am questioning this purchase. My son uses it for vocals. It used to sound better but now it is all Bass. I suspect the high frequency driver is blown and am in the process of replacing ($80).Does it produce quality high frequencies at all? If not, may be the same issue.

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.

I use it with my bass as it is still an amp modeler, it's just not optimized for bass amps so much. That being said there are several amp and boxes and knobs to turn to lower the gain and distortion. Plus the several reverb effects you can use and just bypass everything else. If you play bass mostly, there are models optimized for bass, but this has been a jack of all trades for me, though I'm not all that advanced so I'm not competent to advise any further than that. hope it helps.

As far as l know (also based in my experience), a different amplifier won't increase the bass drastically (you might get better control of it, though). I would rather invest in a different pair of HPs. May l ask you what type of bass would you like to increase? Sub-bass, mid-bass? Have you tried to EQ it (with Foobar2000, for example)?

Sounds defective. I would suggest returning it for a refund. I had the same issue with one I received.

No the sound doesn't distorted at all that I can tell the bass may be slightly less at full volume but not enough to really tell. This speaker is really loud and you will not be disappointed at all!

I'm really happy with the speaker, but I added a ext. Bass speaker bcz "I'm not happy with the bass.

Sorry, but I can't answer that. I share the same concern. I actually ordered the bass for a friend, and he hasn't had a chance to play it much yet. I guess we'll have to find out the hard way.

Yes. Send it back and ask for a refund... same problem here... sent my bass back. Waited a month still no bass. Asked for a refund... still waiting... get a refund asap
