The sound quality is great with a surprisingly good bass with clear mids and crisp highs

bass is weak.

these sound very good, fairly full sound and decent bass.

It didn't create a seal in my ear, the bass was a lot weaker, and the highs were not as pronounced - overall a much flatter sound (and goofy colors)

Solid bass

I suppose that’s a dated joke).The Bose sound is its usual magnificent self, with clean highs and profound bass

SE215Great balanced sound; strong bass; low impedance; long and strong cord, ability to replace only the cord if broken

The smooth sound signature is really good for long listening sessions and don't cause fatigue like some of my super bass biased, hard hitting headphones

These headphones sound absolutely fantastic, with amazing bass and mids; however, they stopped working after 7 or 8 months due to the crappy wire design

However, the bass on the Soundtrue was much weaker

They had the best bass of any earbud I have ever used (and I've used... lots), but also very good clarity of mids and highs (rare for earbuds with good bass)

I like my music to have some bass and was initially afraid the bass won't be sufficient on

just the bass not enough IMO.

As I suspected, they are lacking in good quality bass, it is just not very strong when using the default player on my smartphone.

The bass isn't very loud, they don't cancel out as much sound as i would like in public places, it blocks out alot just was hoping for a little more (in a small rooms its perfect) and they also don't stay in very well if your doing sports or running

Here is my short review:SE535Fantastic balanced sound; great bass and low-end; low-enough impedance; long and strong cord, ability to replace only the cord if broken

The B&W C5s which I mentioned in my original review below (similar price range, $179), have very impressive sub-bass but muddy certain types of music and lose clarity

No distortion, clear, highs and mid range with impeccable bass

The bass is very impressive, but not muddy

I was looking for something with a high end and more defined base but not overpowering bass, not these Bose.

Every footstep sounds like a bass drum kick - BOOM, BOOM, BOOM, BOOM

Bass is better than I expected and max volume is just fine for me

and I can increase the bass response the sound quality does improve, but that does require 3rd party software.

Why can't anyone seem to make wired headphones that are moderately unsealed and have good bass, full sound, without the Stethoscope feeling?I may try the sony MDRAS800AP.

The bass is clean, but not strong enought for my taste

Actually, the bass blew me away for in-ear headphones, as that is usually the weak spot in them

The sound was good, better bass than Apple, and fit was OK.

The Bose phones have neither the richest bass response nor the shimmering top end, but what they have hands-down over the other phones is amazing clarity and superior gain - even compared to some full over the ear headphone phones I own

Sound - these have to be atmost 75% of max volume of most other earbuds and the bass is fairly poor

Although the lows are still clear and detailed, they aren't for people who like a fun, punchy bass

In comparison, I purchased the Bower & Wilkins C5 S2 ($50 more, so not an apples to apples comparison!) and the clarity, bass, soundstage were all much better

It's a rich sound with strong bass and superb range

The bass is not booming

The bass is good but if your looking for earphones with punching bass then I don't think these are for you

The way they work, they can't have tight "coupling", so they wiggle around in your ear canal and have weak bass

They didn't fall out with the wings in place and they had bass.

It sounds clear but the bass is weak, and the soundstage is just bleh

SoundTrue Ultra has the great sound I expect from Bose-- fine bass and acoustics

However, its bass isn't very clear and can distort the mids sometimes

Crappy bass and the max volume is just disapointing .Despite the sound quality, the build is just "okay"

The bass however, was lacking (will get to that later)

These are for actually enjoying music, beautiful vocals, punchy bass and clean highs

(don’t get me wrong, I love bass, but not overall muddiness)

The bass is very dynamic, and sounds really smooth

their sound has always been good & full, good bass too, better than everything else i tried.

I went to a Bose store today and tried these as well as the Bose Soundtrue Around Ear Headphones II, and I picked these (the Ultra in-earphones).I read reviews about these that the volume isn't loud enough, and that the bass isn't as boosted as other headphones

Bose SoundTrue Ultra in-ear STIEGreat balanced sound; strong bass; short and thin/flimsy cord; includes iPhone controls

The bass is decent but could be a bit stronger

These Bose, while still maintaining the stunning sound, have amazing bass for an in-ear pair of headphones and have a very true-to-recording sound

Good bass, not punchy, but very present

However, its bass isn't very clear and can distort the mids sometimes

SE425Fantastic mid-range, poor bass and low-end; low impedance; long and strong cord; ability to replace only the cord if broken

Superb Use them while doing work, they are super noise cancelling almost as good as the over ear headphones

And yes the cord sucks as it is very noisy

These work!- Sound is amazing.- Blocks out sound so that people can't hear what you hear so play it as loud as

I don't blame the store employee as it didn't appear he had any control over making it
