" ... If you're the type that likes overly booming bass then look elsewhere, you wont find that there. ... "
" ... The bass is ample but not as strong as the Audio Technica M50X, but the treble is mostly clean with a slight shimmer, the only complaint I have. ... These are for pure music lovers and not for people who like added bass. ... "
" ... The bass is quite decent for an open-back pair of headphones and the treble is very nice and not too harsh, though it can get on your nerves (depends on what music you listen to). ... "
" ... The OB-1s have better bass and sound stage. ... They hold their own in the mid range and treble. ... "
" ... The sounds are crisp while having a bass that supports the whole song while not overpowering it, while the actual set itself is comfortable and secure . ... "
" ... The bass isn't overbearing and the headset itself is extremely comfortable. ... "
" ... the bass is nice and tight, and the highs are right where I like them. ... "
" ... They are on the warm side, so these would be good for some hip hop/rap/other bass heavy genres. ... "
