from www.amazon.com
the bass is all that one needs for a nuetral sounding headphone.
from www.amazon.com
the have a great sound to them, and produce pretty good bass for a headphone.
from www.amazon.com
it turned out to actually be quite significant, and i was also disappointed with the bass output of the phones, largely due to the open-back design.
from N/A, www.newegg.com
not too much bass but not too little, it compliments the music just perfect.
from www.amazon.com
the bass response is slightly muted compared with high frequency, and it never overpowers the guitars.

i believe other reviews have mentioned it before, but you must put these headphones in your ear canal correctly in order to hear bass.
from A Customer from Los Angeles, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
not bad for the price and it does reduce the noise around you...i used it at work and gym...but it needs a little more bass.
from A Customer from Austin, TX, clickfrom.buy.com
i bought into the low bass complaints...and it's only true if you don't place the earbuds in right.
from Timotheus from Live Oak, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
read other reviews, then note that you do need to get them placed properly to get decent bass...but you'll know it when it's right.) and being able to use them on an airplane is going to be a plus.
from A Customer from Mission, Kansas, clickfrom.buy.com
the bass response is incredible and the noise reduction amazed me.

Audio-Technica QuietPoint ATH-ANC7 Consumer

$175.00 Est. at Amazon

from mwietstock, www.shopping.com
this headset is comparable to bose in nearly every respect, but with just a tad less bass response.
from www.amazon.com
let it be noted that i found the bass to be a tad bit lacking.
from www.amazon.com
- sound quality: a-t much more accurate, though it would be nice to have a tad more bass.
from www.amazon.com
the noise-canceling is really good when it comes to eliminating external deep bass sounds, while higher pitched noise still will come through somewhat.
from www.amazon.com
still think the bose have slightly better bass response.

from www.amazon.com
the ue is not comfortable over the long run- it sticks in your ear and feels like a brick- and compared to klipsch image- the bass is bloated.
from www.amazon.com
with no equalizer or sound effects the bass was acceptable, but for true bass addicts it will be light.
from www.amazon.com
it's quite important to get the orientation correct for best bass, noise isolation and fit.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is unusually deep and present for earphones.
from www.amazon.com
once you find the right gels and cable placement for a good seal, though, you will have great sound with very deep bass.

from www.amazon.com
the bass in this headphone can resurrect the dead.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is not overwhelming or in excess, it's just right.
from www.amazon.com
the biggest thing i noticed is that even in songs with very low and big bass, it doesn't drown out any other sounds.
from www.amazon.com
like other reviewers have said, the bass isn't quite dominant initially, though i don't doubt that it will improve after long burn-in times.
from www.amazon.com
all the frequencies are reproduced flawlessly, from the deepest bass i've ever heard to the clinically accurate mids and highs.

the bass is tight and punchy without being boomy or over-intense.
from A Customer from Franklin, TN, clickfrom.buy.com
these headphones are design look-a-like, stylish, have a good sound quality - although a little more bass would have been nice - but overall performance is 4 out of 5.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is strong although not overwhelming, however it is plenty enough for bass heavy songs.
from www.amazon.com
it sounded somewhat tinny, and the bass was all over the place; it was quite appalling, really.
from www.amazon.com
they sounded just like the overpriced bose triports, without the boomy bass(although, it was muddy).

i can compare this to it's big brother c700, while c551 has slightly less detail or sparkle as many people say, but it has it's own strength which is great bass.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is good when i angle speaker part upward when i insert it into my ear canal.
from www.amazon.com
sound quality: the sound quality is phenomenal, it beats out my shure e4 on the bass and has very good mids & highs.
from www.amazon.com
i'm an audio-purist and don't really care for bass shaking my head just to have it be obnoxious-- i want to hear the music as intended by the artist and that's exactly what these headphones do.

the bass was clear and precise with plenty of body.
from www.amazon.com
they are bass heavy, but the curve is very smooth and easily correctable, and again appears to be smoothing out with time.
from www.amazon.com
in my experience, electrostatics most accurately reproduce the sound source but have difficulty with reproducing bass.
from www.amazon.com
bass reproduction undescribable, can't believe phones can create such tight and low bass reproduction.
from www.amazon.com
= the d5000 sound signature favors the bass - not the sexy bass sound of, say, the sennheiser hd650, but a more luxurious, enveloping sound.

the cx500's are about as good as it gets, awesome highs, decent mids after a little adjusting with the eq, and the bass is stellar.
from www.amazon.com
i took one star because at higher volume and certain bass tones it sometimes rumbles out.
from www.amazon.com
i've seen many favorable reviews for the mdr-x71, but find them to have a weak bass sound (others have complained of it being too strong, strangely), and produce a very tinny, empty sound overall.

it always used to slip away and when it slips away the bass dies down..
