How is the bass? As a second level question, if anyone can compare the bass to the EPH-100 I'd be interested in your thoughts. Thank you!

While using the foam ear tips, the bass is incredible. Almost too much with electronic dance music. With other genres it's rather balanced and punchy where it needs to be.

I think the bass is really good. Is not like an over-ear headphone, but I think it is really good. Actually the best I've had considering only in-ears. I listen a LOT of blues and always amp up my bass. I haven't tried the EPH-100 though...

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. ;)

I love my SE315-Ks! They have a really great dynamic range with a rich bass & clean clear highs. The sound isolating is equal to the custom in-ear molds that I have & I actually prefer the 315's over them.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

Yes.....the overall sound quality is better. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Love this thing and would recommend it to everyone.

I have HE-400s driven by a Shiit Lyr Amp. The 400s as well as the 500s are not bass heavy headphones. This is one of many reasons I got the 400s. I don't like heavy bass. I did find that after a break-in period, the bass was very nature and sounded close to live music. What I really like is that the bass is clear and not muddy which nearly all bass heavy headphones sound like. The Lyr is designed to drive orthos such as the 400s and 500s. I had looked at the EF-5 but I didn't think it drove the headphones enough. They do need a bit of power. If you like heavier bass, I'm afraid you may have gotten yourself the wrong headphones. The beauty of these is that they are nearly flat responding which make them sounds closer to live music which is what I am looking for. I will tell you that with the 500s and the Lyr combo, you will hear stuff in your music you haven't heard before but you will also hear mistakes made by the recording engineer as well as the limitations on MP3 files if you play those. These headphones don't like to be forced too hard on the bass end. Their design doesn't do well with that. Be careful if you do try to send more bass through them.

Mariana, so the bass is very good. If you're into a heavy bass/urban type street sound, check out the Over The Top Services ULTRA Bass Earbuds. They have a higher bass but a few bucks more.

I bought a pair of IE80s for my wife. The soundstage and detail seems roughly equivalent, but the IE800 has way more bass presence. Tuning the bass on the IE80s might improve it, but I did not experiment with that in my (brief) test. In terms of comfort I prefer the 800s but that's a very personal thing - some would prefer the over-the-ear setup of the 80s.

I bought my TX-SR806 on 03/16/09 for 639.00. I was watching prices for awhile and finally dropped the hammer. It seems I finally made a good decision. I am now reading the manual. That is always fun. I ran the Audyssey set up and received no error messages, so I suppose it was done correctly. I am not really happy with the bass of my system. I bought a Polk RM95 5 pack and the PSW111 subwoofer. Still studying the Polk manual on subwoofer hook up. Charles

There is some controversy about the bass on Ety's. Most headphones these days emphasize bass whereas Etymotics are designed to be scrupulously neutral. Bass is there as long as you choose tips that give you a good seal (important with any IEM) but if you are looking for a thumping "bass-freak" headphone (for hip hop for example), the Ety's probably aren't it. Haven't heard the 215 but have a friend who owns a pair. Suspect they are if anything a little 'bassier' than the Ety.

All I can say is I've been enjoying them since I received them last week- I neither can really speak for others' subjective experience, nor did I read every review. I usually listen to heavy bass music, & these have been great. Today I actually listened to some quieter ambient music, & I still really liked the way they worked. For the money, you can't really go wrong to give them a go. I hope you're happy w/them if you do...

its not bad or noticeable. They are great but have weak Bass compared to what i am used to. I enjoy heavy deep bass. but then again its not for everyone. Besides that, the earphone were great with low chord noise.

Great Bass, Great Treble, it overall is a great headset. Linus has a really great review on their headsets on youtube /watch?v=XxHFOk0YwuI

I think it works great for bass, particularly good when you want to practice and not disturb anyone, or not be distracted by the noise of the world. Very clear sound, with tone, gain, volume controls and an effects processor built in.

For the price the bass is really good. If you want seriously high quality bass you'll probably have to spend $80 to $200.

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
