Listening to CD quality discs from iTunes, the clarity was sharp, the bass was booming, and you could hear the various notes and instruments in a way that you don’t normally with earbuds

These earbuds have great deep bass and treble is crystal clear

But not here: Bass is both fast and heavy, when needed

This ones have the best bass of all

The twisted cable does sound a little better (maybe it's just placebo).The HEM2 is not for basshead, it has a good amount of bass but when listening to bass heavy music the bass will be lacking

The synthesized bass in that live rock concert sounds nothing like the dane drums in the 2001 soundtrack

Sound is nice and balanced, not too much highs and not too much bass

It's a example of a wrong bass

Strings are moving, wind instruments exhilarating, bass is warm and heavy

Bass is a little strong for "reference" headphones, but still accurate and punchy

However, I find the bass to be a bit overwhelming sometimes where it can drown out the other frequency ranges

The headphones struggle to be neutral in that they don't feature overpowering bass

In bass heavy tracks these preform very well, delivering rich and clear bass

But the genius behind them is that the bass

I would list everything but everything is already shown in the pictures as well as in the description

Having read other reviews where the driver had been lost as the connection was not secure, I was concerned that it be a good fit as the company doesn't sell just one replacement driver
