Hows the bass? Hows the bass on these headphones?

You need a headphone amp to get great bass performance out of these (Recommend the BSG CMOY). They are open headphones though, so they won't hit you in the face with their bass.

Not great, in all honesty if you're looking for more bass go with with the hd280pro's. the HD555's are no slouch, but they're meant to be a natural warm listening experience, not bass heavy. I do think they're balanced but wouldn't mind just a tad more low end, and they'd be perfect, but I prefer the open ear design (kinda seems to keep ears a little cooler vs closed designs as well. I altered the 555 to 595 mod (youtube) by punching a few holes into the rectangular pads hidded on the inside of the cans to help a tiny bit with bass response, without removing them all together (your ears will become treble fatigued with them totally removed, if you listen at higher levels, I've found.. especally if you use an external amplifier for that added punch)

Mine have had hundreds of hours of wear and I'm pleased with the bass. Better than the AD700 + 900, although the latter hasn't gone through burn-in.

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

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.

I would say yes! They are very clean! Some people say it lacks bass but I think it just cuts distorted bass very well! They are headphones not subwoofers but I feel they are worth the money absolutely

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

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. :-)

The bass is really good in my experience. I listen to mainly EDM and rap, and do some gaming as well, and these have proved to be stellar for all 3. Also works wonderfully for movies and tv.

These headphones have adequate bass, but the sound is well balanced. So if you're looking for something that blasts out heavy bass, you may want to buy a model for which the reviews say they have big bass sound.

They are Ok. I mean, they aren't booming bass, but they are certainly a very broad range of good sound. The bass is legit, but if you want huge bass, I'd suggest getting some bass speakers for your trunk or some stuff like that.

For open headphones, these are pretty bass heavy.I would say that they have more bass than the headphones I've listened to personally. (Grado Sr60/80/325i, AKG K271,Q701)Personally, I would consider them to have good bass response and that seems to be the shared opinion of other owners on Head-Fi.

There not awful, these are more for bassy music, if you want something for classical i would look for sol republic headphones

The bass is quite decent and full sounding considering that they are suppose to be for accurate studio monitoring. You can hear the lows, mids, and high all quite nicely. If you want something a bit more on the bassy side you should check out Audio Techinca's Bass Solid line of headphones, name is pretty self explanatory.

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.

They are really good. They are not too over powering with bass. I really like it. Even when it's on really loud it. It's not to bad. It doesn't hurt my ears like other headphones.

These were a gift to my son. He says they are good, durable and the sound is good. However, the bass isn't too good. He really likes them and he would recommend people buying them for the price. Hope this helps.

For me the bass is fine but I am not a big bass head. I can only compare them to the other headphones I own the Bose QC 15 wired noise cancellation headphones and to me they had better bass than those. However I did have an opportunity to listen to the Bludio's before I returned them for the Sony MK2's and they had more bass than the MK2's but I didn't think they sounded as good and they were a bit bulky and didn't fit on my head as well. The Bluedio's are substantially less expensive though and they did sound pretty good. Probably the best bang for the buck.
