What is the sound quality with these earbuds?I want something that will deliver a good amount of bass while cancelling out background noise.

Very good sound quality but you must pick the correct tips for each ear. I've seen comments where people use different size tips for each ear. The Fi S6P has great Bass when isolated properply.

They do a very good job of this. I use them when I run and they don't completly cancel out ALL background with some of the traffic but they do a pretty good job

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

They don't completely cancel out all the noise. If you want a cheap option, it's good. But if you want better noise cancellation, I'd go with a higher end headphone. I have to turn noise cancelling on plus play music for it to drown out any sounds around me.

If you want noise isolation, look into sennheiser 280. They were too boomy for my tastes, and squeezed your brains out of your head.

You get plenty of earplugs... When you find the one suitable for you, noise cancellation is very good... But just buy, if you get them under 130 dollar, otherwise you get the same quality for less

Noise cancellation is great, they plug into your ears. The sound quality is awesome!

They have really decent musical detail, but I would say the bass is a little lacking. Compensation with EQ helps. I haven't heard the CX 300-II earbuds, but certainly the CX-300 line has a near legendary reputation. I have no regrets getting these for the price.

bass response will depend on your players eq settings, your earbud size, and the volume you listen at...clarity is great w/ dynamic range that goes as hi as 23K Hz. these are not designed as "extra bass" headphones per say (sony has other models that are sold as such) but when properly configured the 13.5mm drivers of these dish out plenty.see my other review for more details...

When music is playing at reasonable volume, they're pretty good at blocking background noise, but not perfect. If you're just wearing them over your ears without input, the noise cancellation is more of a soft noise muffling than anything else. I wouldn't call them "noise-cancelling" so much as "reduces extraneous background noise so you can focus on what's playing".

I would say that there is a considerable sound leakage as these are "on the ear" headphones. If you are worried about sound leakage you should consider "over the ear" headphones preferably with noise cancellation features.

I do not believe these earbuds are bass-heavy, when compared to most others. I mainly purchased them due to the high-quality workmanship, being constructed from top notch components (i.e. aluminum housing, etc.). You may need to experiment with the interchangeable silicone tips to get just the right fit for your ear, for the best sound experience. I am not well versed in high-end ear buds, however. But I didn't want any more junky models that fall apart after a few months, like most others.

I've been using them for quite some time now and I can honestly say I'm very imputed with the sound quality. Yes, crisp highs, beautiful bass sound.

Bass should be pretty decent. Try another device to link into. If that doesn't seem to work, setup a warranty ticket with Plantronics. They honor their warranty for year.

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.

For me, the bass capability is really very good. But the perception of how the lower frequencies are performing are generally a matter of individual taste. I'd recommend comparing the frequency response specifications on each manufacturer's web site. That will give you an empirical view of performance. But, the short answer...yeah, I like these head phones and plenty of bass, more than enough. Lots of bang for the buck.

They have decent sound (honestly, I think they sound very good), but they do not cancel ALL outside noise. With no music they block less noise than a set of soft foam earplugs. With music though, outside noise shouldn't be a problem at all.

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.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.
