As I don't have the other model to compare, so I can't really say. But I do like base on my music and I am happy with these. The Extra Base ones were an option for me too, but I went for these instead. I guess it is a matter of personal choice. These ones seem to have a great build quality and should last longer, which is why I went for them.

I don't have Sony MDRXB60EX/GLD Extra Bass so I can't really compare but so far, his ear phone is worth headphone for under $100. They did sound clear and the bass is not too overpowering. I really recommend this earphone for anyone love music but don't have much budget.

They are no so bass heavy as to creat distortion with pop or rock. It's just relative to the M-100s I think they have a bias toward the bass end of the sound spectrum. There is no distortion, just the beautiful sound no matter what type of music you're listening to.

P7 is better than beats pro in all freq. I owned both beats pro and P7. heavy bass is good on beats pro, and only heavy bass is good for beats pro. The detail and quality is much better for P7 than Beats. I hardly use beats now. And I'm considering to sell the beats on ebay.

The bass quality for these, and I am not sure if it is just a Sennheiser thing, but are better than most other headphone brands that I've used. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on headphones for working out/running and these sound better, to name a few, than the Apple earbuds and the few different Sony headphones that I've bought. The bass is very good for active style headphones in this price range.

They dont exactly lack bass in measurements but if you are used to bass heavy stuff like sony xbs or skullcandies, it will seem lacking.If you want something more bass heavy in this price range theres the m audio q40, sony xb500, donscorpio dolphin from penon audio, and phillips citiscape downtown)

If you listen to all this music just for amusement, better buy a Monster Beats. If your listening is professional, you have to avaliate if the basses are important. AKG is a very flat headphone and everything will sound very well, but the Beats headphones are better to work with the basses

I just got a T51i (a variation of T51P with volume buttons and microphone). My first impression is it produces remarkably more bass than most of other headphones I've listened to such as M50, PX 200 II, Yuin PK2, etc.

I think the bass is really good. Is not like an over-ear headphone, but I think it is really good. Actually the best I've had considering only in-ears. I listen a LOT of blues and always amp up my bass. I haven't tried the EPH-100 though...

I have found these headphone to sound excellent!! Good for DJ'ing? I give it a big Yes...Compared to Beats (which I owned a pair) Beats have a tendency to snap (the headband that is) after a couple of times of warranty replacement I got rid of them...But I have been a DJ since 1973...yeah a long time...my Favorite are the KOSS PRO-4 AA's which I used then and own a pair now...

Bass is very good considering it's so open. It's present and punchy. However if you're used to the bass of a closed headphone like an ultrasone or beats you may be disappointed.

bass is bassy, it does vibrate the headphones, but not too much that it is annoying.They're basically a complete rip-off of Beats by Dre. They're just cheaper and have more features.

Disclaimer: I've spent quite a bit of time forcing these puppies into various depths and angles to try to find ANY angle where they produce any sort of bass, and I've failed miserably. I'm sure it's too late for these folks, but for anyone else in the same boat... To answer your questions directly, no - the design is COMPLETELY different from the Sonys, and I can't imagine anything like that problem would happen to these (it's pretty much all hard plastic (except for the interchangeable plugs.) However... as I'm also moving on from my previous two sets of the Sony headphones you guys are talking about, I should warn you that I'm thoroughly disappointed with the Etymotics. You should be forewarned that the Sonys you've been listening to, though not nearly as high quality a can as the 6i's, are rather bass-heavy. You probably already knew that, but as almost every review will echo, the 6i's are VERY light on bass. This equation will probably have you in the same boat as me, ready to return them because they HAVE TO BE BROKEN to sound that 'top-heavy'! I know, I know, bass isn't everything - but when you're going from a Sony to one of these it's just too big of a loss, no matter how much more 'accurate' they might be. And I'm sorry, but 20Hz? No way. Using test sources I dont' notice anything until 64Hz, and for an in-ear phone that's simply unacceptable. Only when I set my EQ to +12dB on 64Hz, with an even slope such that it's flat at 250Hz, do things ALMOST sound natural. Final recommendation: Don't buy them unless you've had a chance to listen to them, or know you can return them. And go ahead and SCHEDULE the return trip in your planner.

Sound quality is pretty darn good! The Beats are known for a little heavier bass sound, but some people love that including me. Others might prefer to have the true sound of the music. I think they are high quality with heavier bass than some. Hope that helps.

The bass is good on the 598s. It goes deep and its very controlled, but you really need an amp to get full bass potential. However, it's nowhere near the bass amount or impact on the M50s. No Sennheiser is. Most open headphones aren't either. You'll be disappointed if you're looking for the same amount of bass. If you're looking for an upgrade to the M50, check out the ATH-A900x. I just bought a manufacturer refurbished pair on Amazon for $95. Comparable to Denon D2000 for 1/3 the price. Similar to M50 sound signature. 90% of the bass, better clarity, better soundstage.

They sound just as good as beats. I did a direct comparison myself. Plus they are really high quality. They will last a long time. No reservations, just but them!!

I wouldn't waste your money on these earphones. You should try the Radius Atomic Bass. They are designed to handle the pounding Bass of Hip-Hop and dance but do not overwhelm other tunes that are not bass heavy. They also fit small ears and stay secure while active. The sound quality is amazing and these earphones got a better rating than Bose, V-moda and skullcandy by CNET. Type in Radius Atomic Bass in the search and you should find it.
