I mostly listen to classical music and find most mid-to low-priced ear buds too bass-heavy. Can you please recommend what I should get? Thank you.

I found these extremely comfortable for spoken word and mostly vocal songs. There is some bass but it is not very forward at all. I have been using these the last 4 years, so my recommendation would be to get these. Hope this helps!

NOTHING BEATS MY GRADO FONES (classical audiophile for 40 years, approx. 4,000 vinyl albums)

just get a sound balancer on your device and turn the bass down if its too high. this works for all headphones so you can get any pair and not have to worry about too much bass

I do not believe these earbuds are bass-heavy, when compared to most others. I mainly purchased them due to the high-quality workmanship, being constructed from top notch components (i.e. aluminum housing, etc.). You may need to experiment with the interchangeable silicone tips to get just the right fit for your ear, for the best sound experience. I am not well versed in high-end ear buds, however. But I didn't want any more junky models that fall apart after a few months, like most others.

I bought them for my wife. She likes other "in-ear" types and wears these for hours and hours without any complaint. Personally, my ears get sore when I wear any type of the "in-ears" so I use skull candy "fix-buds" when I am going to listen for a long time. So, if you like the in-ear kind of headphones, they'll be great. If not, I suggest the skullcandys I mentioned earlier.

If you are into listening to those, I would suggest Philips Fidelio X1. I've got both and when I compared them, I would think Fidelio X1 is more suited for your genre of music.

I was using a pair of Bose ear buds. I like these way better. They sound very good you will not be disappointed.

the akg k77 is the best for classical music. you will enjoy hearing the different instruments. other headphones often muddle the instruments. with the akg k77 you will have true replication of the music. very very good at its price point

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...

Yes, as a longtime audiophile I have no problem recommending these headphones. The dynamic response of these headphones seem quite good, especially considering their price. Understand however that the bass response of many expensive high-end headphones leave something to be desired, but these headphones have discrete bass amplification and are intended for listeners who appreciate a better bass response along with a good dynamic range. I originally bought these for gaming and because they fold up and fit nicely into my backpack, but quickly realized their sound quality also made them a good choice for listening to music. Hope this helps.

Hello Gregg. Sorry it took so long to respond. You will get a solid bass response from this headphone. I'm enjoying it!

Hello Mark,I like to use these working out or doing outdoor work. They have decent bass. I like think chunky bass, and these provided good quality. My only gripe is that headphones ( after a while ) stop working. I have tried Beats by Dre ear buds and they provide better base. The price is key factor in that equation. If you need them for travel, or around the house, either Bose or Beats (Over the Ear) are the best ones on the market. But for outdoor needs, these are the right price.

The bass is handled very well but ultimately depends on Wht ur music player is capable of putting out. If ur player is capable of great bass, these ear buds will handle it very well.

Try checking out Samsung's SBH600. I have been using mine for the last 6 months. On the ear, a little weighty, but it did the trick. If you have large ears, it may not be comfortable. I like to listen to my music while I'm working, so I've been using them an average of 8 hours per session. Sound is awesome, syncing to my mac at work, Android phone and my old iPhone 3g (used it with the iPod on it) was practically seamless.

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.

I've listened to music all day for an entire week without problems. The bass isn't nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be. In fact, I even prefer upping the bass with the bass boost option on the FiiO E10K Olympus 2. The treble isn't harsh either -- I found that upping the 8 KHz frequency by an amplitude of 2 is a good idea, while the rest is just fine.

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)

I go to Wal-Mart and buy a set of ear buds in their electronics area - they are not marked "mono" but they work just fine for me. Actually, I buy a set of the less expensive (around $8 or $9). I like the ones with the small ear buds (usually comes with 2 other sizes). I tried the ones with the hard round ear bud and threw it away a day later. The more flexible ones work best for me.

Bass response is HIGHLY dependent on how good of a seal there is in your ear. For instance, my preferred tips are modified foam ear plugs as the lows sound incredible.
