Just got the 3 driver ones. There's hardly any bass. I tried with a mac, nexus 5 and iphone. About to return them, what am I missing?

W3 has pretty good bass , the quantity may less than Monsters products, but quality is much better, u may need burn in time, or u can get replacement; maybe the one u had is defective. Anyway I pretty sure w3 has pretty good bass

A good seal. Westone 3 has plenty of bass if you get a good seal. Unless you are looking for Beats like overindexing of bass (i.e. compact Honda Civic with 2 subs rattling your car kind of bass) these should provide plenty of bass if you get a good seal with them.

I am using the L foam tips with great results. Excellent noise isolation and great bass. The secret for good bass is a very good seal. Hope this helps.

If you need more bass, consider downloading an app such as Accudio on iPhone which has an equalizer that allows you to adjust bass. vocals, treble etc. It also optimizes settings to match earphone.

I'm not sure as to the "why," but there is a kind of hollow sound when listening to music or speeches when playing through a laptop's sound card. Sounds okay when playing CS:GO and BF4 though... Some headphones just are power hungry I guess. For the price tag, I was hoping to get at least comparable sound to my AT-A900x headphones, but no go.

These headphones have bass in a more classic sense which is accuracy, fast, and punchy. They're not like beats where the bass takes over the sound and no amount of burn-in will help in that regard. That said, mine have plenty bass maybe you have a defective unit?

I completely agree. To make bass, you have to move air.Having said that, these actually do so very well. I'm under the impression that those claiming the E2C doesn't produce bass either aren't getting a proper fit or don't understand how incredibly flat the frequency responce is (and should be).If you want boomy bass try Sony. They're cheaper.

No, they have terrible bass... Maybe if you have a powerful head unit or drive them with an amp they might have some bass. But other than that, don't expect these to give good bass.

I've had some Apple earbuds that I bought because the regular earbuds that come with the iPod just wasn't cutting it for me. I thought those sounded fairly decent when it came to the bass. Not sure if they were the earpods that you're referring to, but these Soul SL99's have superior bass sound. I've compared them with Beats by Dre and the Soul sound much better, clearer, and with more bass hands down

they dont seem to. I dont turn them up too high though, so I may not have encountered that issue because of that. The bass sounds good to me...and I listen to ska music.

Send them back~ they don't have the same voice clarification as the 2.3 Original, the Professional. I have owned every set from the beginning until now. I am considering purchasing the 5.0

Hi Lorenzo Diazconti, No, please check for other models of headphones. Thanks. &gt;Joffrey

Yes, they do. My oldest son 'borrowed' mine to try them in his iPhone, then didn't want to give them back, lol. He said he was surprised at how good they actually were as there wasn't any distortion at all when he turned the volume up and the bass was awesome. Said they were the only ones he'd tried that did not distort on his iPhone. He also liked the comfort of them as well. So I need to purchase another set.

I actually experienced something totally different. The bass on my pair of v modas is not so good but the high and mids are pretty good. But maybe that's just my comparison to other headphones I've had before.

If you're talking about Apple's *dual-driver* in-ears, the answer is that they aren't terrible. It would be prejudiced of me or anyone else to slam them just because they're from the same company that packages devices with crappier earbuds. However, the HF2 and HF3 destroy the Apple in-ears. While not dual driver, the balanced armature Etymotics are voiced so perfectly they're worlds better, in my opinion. Certainly worlds of detail you've never heard before will open up to you if you buy them. One thing you should know: The HF3 sounds as good as the HF2 but has a three-button remote. Additionally, the HF3 works better with certain Android phones (the Nexus S and probably the Galaxy Nexus) *as well as* the iPhone. If the controls matter to you, you're better off getting the HF3. Something else that every headphone purchaser should know: Frequency range specs mean nothing. In the first place, they're tweaked and exaggerated. In the second, they're only useful within a single brand to give you a sense of range within it, not between brands with different measuring schemes. That's why you'll find $30 earphones that boast wider FR specs than a hundred dollar pair and the hundred dollar pair still sounds leagues better.

Tried with my Nexus 5 doesn't sound good. They're made to be listened to through headphone outputs that have pre amps, basically needs to be powered a little to drive the speakers

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

You should be able to hear something no doubt. But these type of headphones and up usually benefit from an external amp or interface. I currently use an old alesis usb2.0 interface (100$new) and its perfect for these as an external driver. You can find something like that (usb2.0 external audio interfaces) all over amazon for $20+ maybe even less.

In reply to an earlier post on Jun 10, 2009 7:30 AM PDT Dave in Dearborn, MI says: "They are as tinny sounding as others I have tried and returned. I am getting frustrated wirth the trial and error and all the returns. I even got a pair of the V-MODA Bass Freq Earbuds offered here on Amazon that had great reviews regarding the bass response. I returned them right away....they were as tinny sounding as any others I have tried...and the volume was low as well---even at the highest setting. Could be I just got a bad pair, but I am not going to order another set of those either." REPLY: It sounds as if you didn't have either of these phones properly seated/sealed in your ears. If they are not properly seated, then the sound won't have the bass you're looking for, and it will sound tinny. I have several sets of fantastic in ear phones, and they all need to be properly sealed in your ear to give you the great sound experience that they are capable of.
