I understand the bass and treble controls pop out for adjustment,but do they feel solid?

yes they feel solid and mine has detents on the center of the movment so that you know where you are......the 3390 is well built.....i really like it and would buy it again.......

Well, the bass/treble controls don't wobble around and they do what they're supposed to. I see no design flaws, they don't feel cheesy, and I have no concerns about their lasting as long as the rest of the receiver (I have two HK's with that feature, 9 and 5 yrs old respectively with no problems). Good equipment.

They feel solid. This component has been good and I have had no issues with quality or sound.

Yes, the controls stay firm. I have kept the bass "high" and treble "low" since I purchased the receiver, which sounds best to me with my Bose speakers. The receiver quality is as good as the day I bought it & it is on every day, i.e. radio, CD, DVD & TV - a super value for the money.

they dont seem to. I dont turn them up too high though, so I may not have encountered that issue because of that. The bass sounds good to me...and I listen to ska music.

I think they sound fantastic. They might be a little bass heavy for you, though. They clearly are built for genres that emphasize the low end, but it's not overpowering nor does it drown out the higher tones, although the mids ARE quite recessed. But again, the "midrange scoop" is pretty common.

Yes, they have their own volume (gain) control on the back. There's also bass and treble controls.

Yes there is a separate control for bass & treble, as well other sound nuance control.

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

Theyre damn good for bass, but the mids are lacking a bit. you may be able to compensate with an eq adjustment

I actually experienced something totally different. The bass on my pair of v modas is not so good but the high and mids are pretty good. But maybe that's just my comparison to other headphones I've had before.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

I don't have a lot to compare them to, and nothing really of quality, but I feel like these isolate fairly decently. When music is on at any level I have a hard time hearing anything else around me.

Unfortunately, i have not had the chance to play games with them since i use them for my office. However, they sound very good when playing music from my Jango account. The bass is very good for this system that i have to turn it down on the sub.

I would give it a solid "decent". I believe I was expecting better, and looked for something else. In the course of trying more expensive Sennheiser, B&W;, Beats models, I came to feel the less than perfect isolation was way more than offset by everything else. Audio quality is fabulous and so is the design and fit and finish. Let me know how you go on this. Ed

These are pretty much 'reference' earphones - so they will sound almost exactly as the audio is mastered (generally will sound flat in their response). If you want punchier bass, go for the cheaper SE-315 which are optimized for low-end/bass.

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.

No, they aren't bass heavy at all. What people mean by a "flat" response is that bass, midrange, and treble are very balanced. To you (and me) that means they are going to sound fairly bright instead of having weighty bass. The TASCAMs mostly are very clear and detailed phones, not bassy. In this same price range I like the AKG 518LE. It has more bass and the bass is taut and controlled, not soggy. But there are a lot of choices. You can check out the website InnerFidelity for a lot of reviews of different types of headphones, and also headphone measurements to show you which ones have more bass. Also Headfonics has good reviews too. Good luck. No, they aren't bass heavy at all. What people mean by a "flat" response is that bass, midrange, and treble are very balanced.

This is subjective so it is tough to answer. They have good bass, but they are not overly bassy. I would say they are very well balanced. If you're looking for something to shake your brain :-), these probably aren't the headphones for you. That said, the sounds is very clean, precise. Hope this helps a little.

I have to disagree. When I use mine with either my on-board Realtek Azalia or with this SYBA external USB Stereo Sound Adapter for Windows, Mac, Linux Extra Audio Source with Microphone SD-CM-UAUD it sounds loud and very well balanced. They have a "reference" feel, they are very compliant, with a flat response curve. That is, highs, mids, and lows are given the same weight. This is typically found in professional sound equipment, while consumer headphones and speakers are built to accentuate highs and lows. Someone who's used to bass-heavy headphones would probably describe them as weak and tinny, but to my ear they represent bass quite well, if it's there. You can use an EQ to overcome this, and they should comply. I have to disagree.
