i cannot hear anything below 60hz in my room with my studio monitors, will these be able to help with restoring the bass sound to my monitors? (Event 20/20 bas are my monitors)

no, these are are not designed for that purpose.What you need is a subwoofer for those monitors, they sell them relatively cheap and good quality. What size driver do you have in the monitors? thats really what determines what bass response you get from your monitors. The larger the driver the bigger the bass response ,smaller is less response. In my opinion its always better to have separates and small is ok if you have a sub. Hoped it helps...by the way the traps provide a way to lessen the build up of unwanted muddiness and reflection that makes your sound dark and muddy and just overall sound bad.

Yes, just tried it, sounds good! Remember though, these are flat monitor headphones, they are not meant to accentuate bass or any other graphic band.

It will help. But no, I'm sure you will still hear the bass. Could try wearing these plugs in conjunction with a fan running to try to drown out the noise.

These are pretty much 'reference' earphones - so they will sound almost exactly as the audio is mastered (generally will sound flat in their response). If you want punchier bass, go for the cheaper SE-315 which are optimized for low-end/bass.

I think your hookup is bass ackwards. The audio should run via ARC or Audio Return Channel from your monitor to the Somy headphone. I believe this is done via Toslink.

Honestly, I can only compare them to my Sony extended bass earphones and estimate they have 10-20hz greater range. Hope this helps

Hi Joe, to be honest with you I returned this. It didn't work for me either. I tried to plug them into a amp and nothing. Definitely cheap and not worth the money if you ask me.

I'm returning my energies right as we speak.. and gonna give these a shot, my energies sounded crisp clear and beautiful with my polk fronts and hafler sub.. but a normal levels certain frequencies had them buzzing and popping..... in a tiny room they might do ok as 7.1 one with better fronts and sub like I said.. but on there own or in a full size living room they are completely worthless to me

No. You want to treat these more like tweeters. They sound good on the high end, but trying to put a lot of mid-frequency and low end bass through them will only make them crackle.

make sure everthing bass is tuned to the lowest hz setting or around 40hz usually sounds nice and whats powering them btw

The bass is OK, it's not going to give the pounding feeling in your chest but they work quite well? I was very surprised on how well and far the music carried. If it's a pounding bass you need they are not the speakers for you, you would also need a sub. But I would recommend them. I have a dj friend who wants to borrow them if that tells you anything. Good luck.

In regards to SoundSticks being short-lived, I suspect those speakers are being played at a sustained high volume. Remember, these are supplementary computer speakers. I wish someone who had these speakers stop functioning inside the warranty period would give us feedback on how it was handled by Harman Kardon.Thanks.

monitors are extremely FLAT for the purpose of monitoring music production. while the can be tweeked to give out truley amazing sound I dont see why someone would go for these instead of a bose system or something like that, which will give you a much richer sound for post production music.

I don't think it will make much difference. I plugged them into cheap Creative desktop speakers and the sound was great when it worked.

I haven't done a heavy bass type of mix with these headphones yet. lower Freqs has much more engergy than higher Freqs , so very heavy bass can sometimes drown other frequencies . My best advice is to try and listen to same song using studio monitors, good speakers or even high-end flat headphones and compare.

They will certainly help. Most any noise reduction solutions will, earplugs, ear muffs etc. They have good noise reduction. Check the -db levels, the higher the better.

bass response will depend on your players eq settings, your earbud size, and the volume you listen at...clarity is great w/ dynamic range that goes as hi as 23K Hz. these are not designed as "extra bass" headphones per say (sony has other models that are sold as such) but when properly configured the 13.5mm drivers of these dish out plenty.see my other review for more details...
