    • Very good bass, and clear
    • The bass is far better than I expected
    • They are very well constructed, very good and clean overall sound, the bass isn't great but decent
    • Excellent bass and treble without overdoing either.

    • The Bass in Red Hot Chili Peppers "Higher Ground" is unbelievable, as well as the beautiful voice of Sara McLachlan, And
    • The sound is amazing and very clear with a super super good booming bass
    • The bass is nice, loud, and clear
    • They are not noise canceling headphones but have a clear sound with a good bass kick

    • Really good bass too
    • Bass is perfect
    • Really nice and powerfull bass
    • The bass is great
    • The sound is spot on and the bass is significant
    • I agree with the reviewer who surmised that there was a tweak done to boost the bass on drivers strong in the middle to upper range, with a lower fidelity bass result.
    • The bass is not overpowering, but is substantial, especially after they are played for a while
    • Great bass, mids, highs, just overall wonderful
    • Along with very good bass response
    • For casual listeners, independent DIY musicians and producers, or hobbyists, nothing can beat the superb clarity of the rich bass, mids, and ringing treble tones that aren't harsh on the ear, and the large volume range free of sound distortion.
    • Bass is not super impressive but what you expect from basic headphones
    • While I am not an audiophile nor a studio engineer or recording musician, I can tell the difference when bass is too strong or the high-end is screeching too much

    • Trebles are crisp, bass are deep and clear...
    • Not suited for people who just want some big headphones that exaggerate bass.
    • sound-Comfortable-Sleek look-Comes with an attachable plug-in for an amp-Cheap price-Good bass-Good treble-Seals in sound and keeps environment
    • These phones work well with an iPod, and if you like bass, turn on the bass control on the iPod.
    • A rich, deep bass that doesn't overdo it by washing out the mids and highs
    • Otherwise, these are comfortable and have good bass response.
    • The sound quality is good, albeit a little too much bass for my taste; it isn't that there is too little mid- and high- range, those are definitely present, the bass is just a little too thumping
    • The sound is so clear, the bass is great, and it doesn't distort at high volume which I think is nice
    • but the bass is "good"
    • They do not cancel out all noise, just about 60%, and the sound quality is very good, it also has a good bass without it being overpowering.
    • They have nice crisp sound and have some great bass for those out there looking for that
    • It's in the sound department that you can clearly sense a difference with both - first thing you'll notice/sense with the ATH-M30 is that it's more warmer sounding and has a bit more depth/sound stage as compared to the Sony and as a consequence slightly less detail, also the bass isn't as punchy/vibrant as the Sony but still very good overall
    • I would rather my headphones sound neutral and not add or subtract from the original recording, I can aways add/or subtract bass/treble if I choose
    • There was sufficient bass (decent quality bass this price point as well), and extremely sssssssharp treble
    • Lacks good bass

    • The bass is great, the highs clear

    • However, the bass is solid and weak.
    • I was looking for great bass and a clear sound (not muffled like some headphones seem to be), and these headphones deliver both
    • On the Sony's, the bass is richer and the highs are sweeter
    • The XB500s will be returned, however, they are extremely comfortable and a great headphone but the bass was too overpowering.
    • The bass in these are absurd
    • The bass actually sounds like bass, and the music just seems fuller than before.
    • If you like a more warm and subtle sounding bass than the ATH-M30's will fit your preference
    • so i believe the bass is just right
    • Great bass, clear sound
    • These headphones have really bad bass
    • I like bass response but also audio clarity
    • Bass is clean and I can hear details I never heard with other headphones
    • These headphones sound really clear with good bass and mid-range.
    • While the ATH-M30 may not be top end Studio Headphones, it certainly does the job very well with more than adequate bass, mids, and treble.
    • The bass is powerful and clean (doesn't rattle or buzz)
    • Nice bass and well controlled mid-range and clear highs
    • The bass is great, and the treble is cool also
    • They have the nice high (cymbals and snare) and the nice low (bass and bass drum).
    • If you don't mind the lackluster bass, these headphones are perfect for almost anything.
    • The bass is somewhat lacking but otherwise perfectly balances and the design makes it comfortable to wear for hours
    • You get a lot of punch and the bass is mostly clear and definitive, it's just that the sound could best be described as "bottom-heavy
    • The bass is rich and the treble is crystal clear
    • They may be the best headphones that you can buy for the money, but they do not have "good bass".
    • I have a set of Turtle Beach x12's and Sony MDR-XB500's, and both of those are plenty loud enough and offer much better bass
    • I do think the bass could be a little better, but they're still easily the best headphones i've ever owned.

    • I am no expert but phones seem to have very good quality sound and good bass.
    • Great, deep bass and clear highs
    • bass is good but not great
    • This type of quality I've witnessed is impressive clarity, from highs to lows, even the bass is appreciated
    • Cons: I'd recommend doing some slight equalizer tuning (if you have a compatible sound card/program), namely to boost the bass ever so slightly relative to the mid and high range
    • The Bass is great too!!
    • It represents sound very well... but for games I would recommend maybe one of those amplified headsets like turtle beach which has been designed not for accurate sound but to tweak it to sound good on games, for exaggerated bass...
    • They have a clear, deep bass tone like Aiwa headphones
    • They're pretty comfortable (I wear them at work almost all day), have a full sound, solid bass and seem to be pretty durable

    • Good bass, clear voice, and very comfortable
    • Good bass response.
    • These headphones are awesome because the sound is amazing and the bass is terrific
    • The sound is great with powerful bass, they block quite a bit of environmental sounds, they have a very long cable which allows me to route them through the back of my desk from my computer, and they seem to be very sturdy, but if I can't wear them for more than 1/2 hour, what's the point
    • The bass is great, its not to soft nor is it to hard, i mean seriously i wouldnt want to rupture my ear
    • The bass is great, Unlike the Panasonics' bass
    • I read on Cnet reviews that these headphones have "good bass", which is why I bought them
    • Nice smooth response, good bass
    • I think the bass sounds good in them.
    • I bought this head set knowing it wouldn't be bumping the bass even though I prefer those kinds of headphones.
    • I love the bass of this sucker
    • They have really weak bass response to begin with, and it sounds very muddy and crappy when turned up
    • The bass on the skullcandy heshs is stronger by a little but, again, not as clear and precise as the ATH-M30s.
    • I understand that these are considered an inexpensive pair of headphones, but I would greatly disagree with the term "good bass"
    • Crisp sounds with decent bass
    • It works well, the bass and treble sounds are great
    • Excellent bass response, smooth mid's and high's, overall very well balanced and afterabout a 25 hour break in period, you will be looking for an imaginary subwoofer in your head!Great for Laptop use if you actually like quality sound for extended listening.

    • They have the nice high (cymbals and snare) and the nice low (bass and bass drum).
    • I lasted more than 3 years now & its still as good as
    • Compared to my "bass enhancing headphones," this headphones sometimes start clipping when I play my bassThe leather or vinyl material that goes around your ears is the classic material that starts to wear out and break as you sweat it or if you leave it in any warm placeOther than these 2 comments, for the price, and if you are looking to hear your mix as real as possible, this is a good choice.
    • and they are just as great as when I first got them (
    • They would fit over my ears but still cause discomfort after a few minutes, as well as get pretty warm
    • I was convinced by a friend to pick up Skullcandy ones as a replacement, and nice as those are
    • The headset sounds good, but does not isolate noise quite as much as I would like.
    • The padding is great, the only thing is that my ears must be huge because if I wear these too long my ears start to hurt a little as if there isn't enough room
    • I plugged it to my laptop as well as into the port of the speaker system amplifier
    • I returned them as fast as I got them
