are a bit muddy; bass lacks impact-wide sound; vocals are clear and separated

The bass is decent for 3 inch woofer.

Has surprisingly good bass

It takes a lot of patience, but if you can achieve tight, controlled low-end in your mix through these monitors, you're guaranteed to get good bass translation on 80% of the systems out there

Good quality sound and great separation, good bass response, good mids and highs for the price

They also have really nice bass - better than a 2.1 speaker setup that you find at electronics and computer retailers

There was practically no bass at all, which is good for clarity when mixing vocals and other instruments, but doesn't give a clear representation of what the bass and lows sound like in your mix.

Excellent bass response and crystal clear highs make these monitors sound like a Bose radio

In that respect, yes, the bass would sound horrible

However, what I've found is that while mixing, these speakers actually produce extremely smooth bass response, but they make it so you have to work to get it sounding as such

The bass is adequate for my needs

Both have amp and cabinet modeling (very important here) so i was very interested in how these speakers would work as they are listed as "studio monitors" and really wanted to hear the "true" direct sounds of both the Zoom and the Boss

I don't have any real negatives as of
