Can you ajust the sound tonality - my friend can hear the high pitch notes better than the base sounds.

On the instructions: X-Bass Control: When the power is first turned on, the unit will enter the extra bass mode which emphasizes the bass frequencies, "X-BASS" indicator will appear. To cancel the extra bass mode, press the X-BASS button on the remote control. Bass Control: l. Press the BASS/TREBLE button to select "bass". 2. Within 5 seconds, press the VOLUME (+ or-) button to adjust the bass. "X-BASS" will disappear. Treble Control: 1. Press the BASS/TREBLE button to select "Treble". 2. Within 5 seconds, press the VOLUME (+ or -) button to adjust the treble. "X-BASS" indicator will disappear. So, to answer your question it appears you can adjust the sound tonality. The speaker volume on the unit is not comparable to a BOSE stereo system, etc. so if your friend needs to have the volume turned up way loud, this unit may not be the appropriate one. I love this unit.

Hello J. that high pitch sound is ok, however, my defuser didn't have that, so with that said, my guess is that it depends upon the fan that they put in the particular machine. If it bothers you though, by all means, Amazon is good at sending things back so they would gladly replace the unit, On my DoTERRA unit, it would start and then slow way down to almost nothing. I hope I've helped you.Sincerely: Ray R.

In octave mode it does ok with simple chords. In harmonizer mode it struggles to find the key to shift to. Single notes and lead guitar it does great.

The Elixirs have a more trebly snap to them - a very specific sound, maybe a little tinny. The EXPs are definitely warmer, fuller in the bass. I prefer the EXPs for sound.

I made the sound better by using the equalizer to make surround sound. If you don't make adjustments, it will sound the same.

The frequency response seems to be on the flat side with out too much colorization, Lows are deep with out being muddy, and highs are clear and bright with out being harsh, the only lacking part for me was the midrange was a little laid back, and often you will see this in Monitor headphones and speakers, my reference sound comes from my Magnepan speakers with a Carver Lightstar amp, giving me what my head calls normal (yours may very)  ....what signature sound I am looking for in headphones may come easily with a headphone amp as I use these on my computer and am going to buy the Audioengine D1To get a better performance from and should make these headphone much more to my liking - I hope that helps.

I suppose you could. Not sure how it could sound. I don't think there's something like this specifically for bass. Some of the harmonizing effects sound good on higher notes, not so great on the lower registers.

the bass in "normal" mode is deep but balanced. there's also an deep bass mode which is off the charts, especially for music. you can add a sub, but i don't see a need for it.

The result is definitely different than an EQ. The bass channel is more like an overdrive that doesn't clip (hard to describe it's not distortion) and the high-end is this subtle octave harmonizer. I was very impressed with the inprovement on early 90's gangsta rap that sounds muddy. We use it for our live electronic band to make our sound less muddy and it's really be a big help. I'm not sure it would make a different on the latest music releases though.

Mine sounds awesome. I couldn't be more please for the price to quality ratio. I've had a few of my fellow players comment on it's good sound. I can't, of course, say what yours might sound like but I'm pleased with mine and have had it for quite a while now ... good luck

The sound is a bit louder and slightly more crisp. You do,however sacrifice some of the richness to get these benefits

I love the shimmer effect but it can be hard to use. There's often times a hash clipping on the reverb if you play a really harsh note all of a sudden. Really depends on what type of playing you're looking to use it for.

Yes.. there is a feature in up/low key for player who can adjust different level of tone.

If the technique of the player is correct, it requires more right hand finger power and will project more, it is not just a tonal thing. Speed of note playing is faster and the left hand hammer/pull offs are easier to execute with more volume. Some of my instruments have High Tension and some have Extra High Tension and some I use the Titanium for broadened tone and projection.

I don't have perfect pitch, but it sounds pretty good to me. Better than any of the other ones we have. We love the whole set :)

If it sounds better or not is subjective to the opinion(s) of each listener, if you're not happy with the sound I'd suggest getting an Equalizer so you can contour the sound it puts out to satisfy your taste. The unit itself works great and has proven to be dependable so far.

Sorry it took so long to answer. My daughter did not have that experience with her records. She only has a couple of records so far so she plays the same ones over and over and they still sound pretty decent.
