The bass is a little weak on low volume but the clarity and range of the drivers is amazing for how small they are.

Outstanding clarity

Sound is decent, clarity is amazing, but very mid-range/vocal forward

I make EDM and they have amazing mid/high clarity without being drowned out by the bass

I'm a big fan of Shure earphones and their older generation and high end new generation are well-balanced, comfortable and offer great sonic clarity.

tl;dr: great sound clarity, reliable, great for long term wearing, lacking bass, wonderful

There is great clarity at the expense of bass, but it should not be a trade off.

Vocals and other mid to high pitches sound fantastic with great clarity

What's REALLY great, however, is that Shure provides a packet of EIGHT different types/sizes of earpads (S/M/L rounded foam; S/M/L rounded hollow rubber; a silicone "tree" type, and a foam cylinder, so your chances of finding ONE set/size that actually fits YOUR ears is excellent).

They have also accompanied me on a flight to Las Vegas and back, (from Florida) as well as on international flights from Philadelphia to Barcelona and back.

n’t recommend using these $200 headphones were they can be damaged by the movement (although not likely, since they were made for people in live concerts, and they move a lot)
