    • For Bass lovers these headphones provide a little boost for the low frequencies, Bass guitar, Bass drums, their low end frequency response is at 5 Hz and still can deliver clear articulated bass response, not suitable for people who do not like bass, also the treble is a little high, but this can be adjusted with the EQ

    • Since the ATH-M50 also have an exaggerated bass and are also labeled as "Monitor Headphones," I can let this slide
    • Very good bass and many details in the sound

    • The other reviews I read made me expect better bass, but that's not really a negative

    • - I think I would like a little bit more bass, but I have nothing to compare to.

    • The bass is very punchy and tight not booming at all
    • Don't get one.).Overall, superb clarity, surprisingly powerful bass (seriously a lot more than you may think, and this is coming from someone who used V-moda m100s on a daily basis), smooth ass mids, terrific, (albeit bright) highs, and a massive soundstage
    • The bass is very punchy and does not bleed into the mids
    • The exaggerated bass is understandable for lower priced headphones and is livable, despite the fact that the focus of the bass is much worse than it is with the ATH-M50
    • Bass is solid and highs are beautiful
    • Looking at the frequency response graphs for Beyerdynamic's DT-770 and DT-880 headphones at the Headroom headphone comparison site, it appears that all of them have this treble issue, their primary difference being the amount by which they exaggerate the bass

    • The bass and soundstage on these babies are mind blowing (with an amp, don't bother trying to use these without one)
    • Chariots of fire" is one of the music, around 40 seconds into it, the bass should be in the background, but under DT-990-Pro-250, the bass is dominating everything else
    • So many so-called audiophile headphones seem to be underwhelming in their bass tones and those such as the Monster Beats are so overpowering that they produce muddy bass that overwhelms the vocals and highs

    • why I decided on buying these because I was looking for an open back headphone with good bass, which led me to the DT 990’s in the first place because they’re known to be great with both features
    • I can tell you that these DT 990 Pros are pretty clean sounding and have great bass extension (they get lowww) but they don't have that sparkle that I've grown to like (in my HD681 and somewhat like my KSC75) and definitely don't have the bass impact that the HD681 provides

    • When I was researching these headphones some reviews stated the bass was too strong, but I do not think this at all.

    • Hip Hop shows how intense the bass can be driven without affecting the mids.
    • These headphones don't really have good bass
    • The bass is very lush and fills the sound nicely
    • the best headphones ive ever owned,they are very bright so if youre sensitive to treble these arent for you,has great accurate bass but you will need to EQ some to get those Mids sounding good,sounds amazing after EQ,has good directional sound if youre using an Astro Mixamp,i would buy these
    • They have a similar sound signature as the M100s (strong but not overly boomy bass, clean and smooth mids, and treble that sparkles) but for HALF the price

    • Perhaps not for a die hard bass enthusiast who loves the hard hitting bass impact of dj headphones, but even for me, someone who listens to plenty of bassy music, they are great

    • HOWEVER, if you want these, and great bass, it's simple
    • The Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250 have great, authoritative bass, but for enjoying music do not hit the spot like my baby DT-990s (Superlux HD668B)

    • - $150 is not that bad considering the build and sound quality of this set-Wide Soundstage-Precise Bass that is not overpowering (could be a con depending on personal preference)-Lively highs and mids-Extremely comfortable to wear for extended lengths of time
    • I don't think I've heard a set of studio headphones release this level of smooth, strong bass and still push out mids and highs, unhindered.

    • The bass is clear and warm
    • Perfect crisp highs, perfect deep bass, and nice mild midrange.
    • There is more than enough bass, when amped
