How well do these sound for Rock and Roll? Seems today's gear is focused on Hip Hop deep bass vs. sonic detail. A rating of 1 to 10. 10=best. Thx

I would honestly give it a 1-2. I bought a pair of these specifically for the "subwoofer" bass in it and all it did was vibrate. There is a tiny bit of bass, but you could do a lot better than these.

sorry for the late response, but these headphones are alright for rock and roll. I find that you do have to crank up the volume more than with other headphones but the sound quality is pretty clear. 6.5/10 for sound quality. this is without using the bass booster though, I'd give it a 3/10 with the bass booster on

Tim,I will grant you,headphones are a personal thing.I will say these P7s are some of the best headphones Ive ever had for under $500.Being a guitarist,and I tend to listen to midrange and highs.I will say these can be cranked up very,very loud and no distortion.Do you want a lot of bass? These are very good for bass,but I have not had a chance to hear beats pro,so I really can't compare the two,I have had a lot of different phones over the yearsBose,sony,etc. Are you a drummer or a bass player?I say,if you can, try out both phones before buying.For my ears,I think these P7s are 5 stars.

Yes they have an exaggerated bass. It makes your whole skeleton shake. Not sure about the break in because I have only had them 2 days. They are not bad, just seems they are designed for rap and techno so if that is what you enjoy then you will love them but not recommended for head-bangers and rockers. Ill say one thing though: Rage against the machine never sounded so good (first album) as they do with these headphones.

In my opinion these are great in all areas. The quality of sound is awesome. Personally the bass is just right. The sound is very clear. I believe you would really like them.

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

The bass is great. Not overkill like The Beats By Dre. These are more for a listen if a Variety of Music. Beats By Dre cater to the hip hop listener. The Monster NPulse have great HI's and Mids.

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

The bass is quite decent and full sounding considering that they are suppose to be for accurate studio monitoring. You can hear the lows, mids, and high all quite nicely. If you want something a bit more on the bassy side you should check out Audio Techinca's Bass Solid line of headphones, name is pretty self explanatory.

They all say the bass sounds good...but I am telling you as a bass lover...the bass in these highly disappointed me. It is VERY weak. I have to give the answer here because I bought these earphones based off all the positive answers to this very question. Just don't. They also hurt if you have smaller ear canals. Using their smallest earbuds doesn't help.

I disagree completely with all the comments above.I think people have a wrong perception of headphones quality. I am a basshead myself. The Q701 are perfect to restitute ANY frequency! I love listening to Kendrick Lamar for instance with them and the infra bass are making my head vibrate... But you will need an amp, that's all.

I don't know that they are 'recommended' per any professional reviews, but since the bass on these is not as strong as the AKGs I have, they would work well for music that does not utilize extremely low frequencies as heard in underground electronic music with 808 or rap/pop.

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

JBuds J2 sound ok. To me it fills like your missing part of the sound with them. The bass isnt full and cant hear the hi hat on the drums. Im gonna try the V-MODA next to find some better earbuds

The bass is really good in my experience. I listen to mainly EDM and rap, and do some gaming as well, and these have proved to be stellar for all 3. Also works wonderfully for movies and tv.
