Do these have good sounding Highs and mids that you don't have to buy an eq or turn the bass down? Also do they have some kind of isolation?

the simplest way I can answer that question is by telling you it's very balanced. you'll rarely ever have to turn down ANYTHING, because (for most songs) everything stays in it's place. the treble is up top, though they can be a tad high depending on your preference and choice of song (such as dubstep which demands a LOT of highs) mids claim their space staying warm in the middle with all the space and ambience, and the bass resonates at the bottom, close enough that you can hear and feel it's subtle rumble but far away enough that it doesn't claim or take away any attention away from the other sections, even if you want it too. the simplest way I can answer that question is by telling you it's very balanced. you'll rarely ever have to turn down ANYTHING, because (for most songs) everything stays in it's place. the treble is up top, though they can be a tad high depending on your preference and choice of song (such as dubstep which demands a LOT of highs) mids claim their space staying warm in the middle with all the space and ambience, and the bass resonates at the bottom, close enough that you can hear and feel it's subtle rumble but far away enough that it doesn't claim or take away any attention away from the... » Read More the simplest way I can answer that question is by telling you it's very balanced. you'll rarely ever have to turn down ANYTHING, because (for most songs) everything stays in it's place. the treble is up top, though they can be a tad high depending on your preference and choice of song (such as dubstep which demands a LOT of highs) mids claim their space staying warm in the middle with all the space and ambience, and the bass resonates at the bottom, close enough that you can hear and feel it's subtle rumble but far away enough that it doesn't claim or take away any attention away from the other sections, even if you want it too. « Show Less

I rarely use these headphones with an eq as I usually take them when traveling. The highs are clean and not rash. The bass is usually pretty balanced. I have never felt like I needed an eq to improve the sound. They have really nice isolation, especially for an on-ear design. They are extremely comfortable; there seems to be some sort of memory foam in the pads. I have worn these on many international flights, sometimes not removing them for over 5 hours at a time without any issues. They are quite light and fold into a nice size. The case is solid too. If you don't mind dropping the coin, they are some really good headphones that travel well. I rarely use these headphones with an eq as I usually take them when traveling.

They are comfortable, however songs with high treble become fatiguing sometimes it's nice to turn down 7khz-11khz a tad if you have a way to EQ them.

I agree with Ron they are meant for a studio setting which means the sounds are deep and rich but don't carry very far. I would suggest looking for speakers that don't have "monitor" in the name.

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.

They aren't bad. I'm no audiophile but I can notice sounds in Rock music I've never noticed before which is really interesting and enjoyable. Especially when it is a song that I've listened to for a long time. I think I enjoy the difference in bass for rap and hip hop music more than anything I noticed in the Rock genre though.

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.

The bass is not real boomy, but the sound is crisp and clean all around. I use them for recording and mixing. They are excellent in clarity.

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.

I would say no on the mids... for the sound quality, what's impressive about the earphones is that they actually sound decent and compare favorably with many earphones costing $25 to $30. By that I mean you get a reasonable amount of both bass and detail, and they only tend to reveal their truly budget nature on quieter, more refined tracks (jazz, acoustical material) where they're apt to have a harsher edge. They also have their limitations with bass-heavy material.

No, these don't have any bass pretty much at all. I was really disappointed when I listened to them. You should go with the AKG K712s, those have really amazing bass.

I don't use them on stage or anything i use them in recording studio and they are perfect for me little uncomfortable if you keep them on for longer period of time but nothing major .... All in all very good sound quality on low and high volume .... And the best no nise from outside/inside or from inside/outside

I am using them in a home theater and they sound quite awesome. I'm very amazed at the sound quality. The bass is very deep and tight, but the sub still makes a big difference.

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).

Hi Larry - - Actually the sound is very well balanced. Full range with good bass depending on the mix. They can put it out, but not cheezy. I think they could be a bit louder, but the only source I have is a laptop. Excellent, really............kevin

They have reasonable bass. As I mention before they have to be broken in to fully appreciate. Bass is not great but good for the price of the speakers. Obviously there are other options out there with better bass and higher quality. If the price is not an issue I would recommend more research to be done.

They don't tell you, I've searched everywhere on the internet can't find anything, but I can tell you that they sound fantastic, way better then beats. They have a deep non boomy bass and very good clear mids and highs.

For their size they have good bass. Keep in mind you will never have window rattling lows from any speaker this size. I am very content with them. Get yourself a subwoofer if you really seek thump.
