Can you really hear the difference with the mega bass feature?

Sorry, but the mega bass feature is almost none existent: no appreciable difference from other sound modes.

There are several controls, bass, Treble, mono, sound virtualized. However they seem only minimally effective for me.

Agreed with Ryan. I'd describe the bass more as "punch". It's pretty tight, but at the same time, everything comes through very clear. And the more you use them, the better they sound.

The bass response, while it will be audibly heard in extended lows will NOT be felt. It's more of a sounded punch than one you could feel compared to ATH-M50'S. That is an unfair comparison though because of the open design and closed difference on the m50's. These are the most comfortable headphones i've ever worn, though.

It's not noticeable but it also depends how the music is being played. If you playing from a laptop that has more power then a phone and your connecting headphones on one aide and a speaker powers amp then nope.

Yes, there is a scroll where you can change the value of bass from low to super high

I haven't tried, but the speakers alone seem to have internal subs because the bass is exceptionally strong

Great question. No, it has not made much of a noticeable difference for me. I have mine in a corner behind our tv. You only see the Play 5. Guests jaws drop thinking that bass is coming from "that little box". Haha. There's good settings with the sub controls. I have mine at about 3/4 of max and it rattles the house. Crank up "Pause" by Pitbull and you'll know what I'm talking about.

It all depends on your taste in music and wether you like to tamper with the EQ in your music player. Play some Skrillex with your ATH M50s.. See how your ears vibrate? Well, that won't happen with the HM5s, BUT.. You will be able to hear the bass all the way down. You can also tune the bass to your liking if you chose to modify the EQ settings.

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

If possible, would you compare it to the standard headphones in the package, because using a headphone like the big one and/or that cost $299 is obviously going to make a difference and make it quite nicer.

Sould be very similar in performance. You may get more bass response from the Phillips.

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.

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

No You won't see a difference! This speaker is excellent and worth the money you're good to go!

I have speakers attached to the motherboard and I really don't think you'll be able to tell any difference in the quality of the sound.
