The bass isn't that great, just okay. If you want good bass.. here's a simple solution... go to your local pawn shop and buy a powered subwoofer (the ones that connect to a reciever sound system) and connect it to the control unit. That's what I did and it sounds great. Cheaper than buying a receiver, subwoofer and speakers.

Honestly, I have tried both these and the GX Gaming edition. The GX Gaming one is definitely a lot better. It is $20.00 more but well worth it in my opinion.http://www.amazon.com/Genius-31731016101-Gaming-SW-G2-1-Speaker/dp/B00B1N0OFQ/ref=sr_1_3?s=electronics&ie;=UTF8&qid;=1392624485&sr;=1-3&keywords;=Genius+SW-

sound quality is great for the price. better than most in the the range of $50-85. overall tone is balanced, leaning more to the brighter side. have substantial bass output. the included ear buds also allow for a better tweaking of the sound. they are built to last. nice case. had mine for about 2 years, still going strong.they block out a great deal of sound, i cut the yard with these on half volume with no issues. hope this helps!

That's hard for me to say. My sub is crossed at 100Hz due to my Polk satellites being ... satellites. It sounds good but you can hear some distortion when playing Royals at higher volumes. You're right, there's tons of bass in her music. I may try this again after I adjust the gain and see what results I get. Overall you can't beat the sub for the price, but it's not going to sound better than a $400 sub. Well, most nicer $400 subs. ;)

Remember they are 4 way coaxial speakers, they are going to sound very clear and clean but they don't tend to deliver a lot of bass. It also depends on which door or deck of the car you installed them. My opinion, they are good brand and for the price and the quality of the sound that they deliver it's worth it. If you want a little more bass you can add a subwoofer and amplifier for deeper bass delivery.

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps. Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price.

Same as Derek's answer. I just would like to add that these speakers hit a very good range of highs and lows for the price. Very worthwhile if you need something cheap yet good quality sound.

Hi Ethen,I am not a good judge of sound quality. Overall, the sound is OK but I can say that in my opinion the bass isn't strong enough.Ori

Bass is great, though I'm sometimes not happy with mid-range sound when playing through Aux; better if you have a mixing board and can tweak the sound depending on the kind of music. Don't think you'll find this much power at a comparable price. Build is sturdy and speakers (I got two) have held up through six months of regular use.

They all say the bass sounds good...but I am telling you as a bass lover...the bass in these highly disappointed me. It is VERY weak. I have to give the answer here because I bought these earphones based off all the positive answers to this very question. Just don't. They also hurt if you have smaller ear canals. Using their smallest earbuds doesn't help.

I don´t know, because this speakers have a very good sound and maybe you may need a high level receiver to enjoy it, like a Marantz M-CR610 or similar in Denon, in which case the price is too high

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.

Initially, was sent the straight plug, but sent it back for replacement and received the angled plug. Also the 1st set wasn't balanced with less volume on the right side and the small speaker grill came out when changing the tips. The replacement set sounded much better. Still, wondering about the bass...?? These are advertised as bass heavy, but the bass is moderate at best for me. Tried all the tips and even bought the monster tip assortment from best buy for $20 and still can't find the bass that's advertised. The phones do sound great, but monster please stop with the bass hype..If you want bass try the amazing (koss porta pros for $30)...Kudos to amazon ..sent replacement phones within 2 days..

They will sound pretty decent, I never had a problem with distortion or static with mine and I don't have an amp on them. They put out pretty good bass for the price. I have had them for almost 2 years now with no issues.

I agree with yaadman01. Great for music and movies, but limited on bass at louder volumes. For deep bass you are going to need a subwoofer which I have. I replaced an old pair of full range Infinity speakers (same size, two-way) and was pleasantly surprised by the sound. Bright highs from the 3/4" high-freq driver and full mid range and mid bass from the 5-1/4" low-freq driver. I set the speaker size to small with the crossover at 80Hz on my 90W/channel receiver to protect with movies. P153s are rated at 10 - 100W and 58Hz - 20kHz. Hard to go wrong for the price per speaker considering the pair I replaced was three times as expensive. Limited warranty is 5 years parts and labor. I agree with yaadman01.

Hi. This is not THX, the sound is fair enough for the price, the bass are generous. I did try the bass tester of THX and I was nicely surprised.

The bass is OK, it's not going to give the pounding feeling in your chest but they work quite well? I was very surprised on how well and far the music carried. If it's a pounding bass you need they are not the speakers for you, you would also need a sub. But I would recommend them. I have a dj friend who wants to borrow them if that tells you anything. Good luck.

Don't believe the people saying good bass. There is barely any bass at all. It definitely doesn't drown out mids or highs. These cans only sound good compared to other $10 and other cans. Don't be fooled into thinking they are better than they are. Under $20 there's a couple Koss models that sound a lot better for example, or under $25 there are several larger on ear or over ear products that sound much, much better, but being larger they aren't nearly as portable.
