I want to use these for mainly for practice. I'm a bass player, so I need very clear bass (especially when transcribing), but I don't necessarily need the thump that comes along with it. How are these with the low end?

Frequency response seems to be fairly flat. I use an equalizer to adjust (boost or cut) the spectrum as needed.

I think it works great for bass, particularly good when you want to practice and not disturb anyone, or not be distracted by the noise of the world. Very clear sound, with tone, gain, volume controls and an effects processor built in.

They have in my opinion a good amount of bass w/ out amplifier. Now with an amplifier these headphones get rediculously loud and the bass does get deeper. Any amp would work even pocket one. These headphones do leak a lot! Seriously they leak a lot! But they do sound great. So honestly you won't be getting the price tag sound with out an amplifier.

I do not have them hooked up as midrange so can only answer for the low end. These speakers really perform well in a ported box with a great sound for inside the car. It will not travel far outside the vehicle, and if not careful can clip. With the right settings as long as you are going for a good crisp mix, these work well. If you are looking for something that is going to push a lot of air for bass that you feel inside a building, these will not do it. I built the box myself for a single GTO804 following the specs on the sheet and used a shop vac tube as the bass port. The potential is found more in the ported than in a sealed box imo.

More even, well rounded vs overwhelming bass. If you are looking for the latter exclusively, you will probably want to look elsewhere. These are good for a range of music/audio though if you have diverse tastes.

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. 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.

These are good for some quiet mixing/mastering, their response is very close to the krk rp8's i have in my home studio, and the bleed isn't too bad. though for mixing you should really be using actual monitors.

If you're talking about mirror vibrating deep bass, then these will not deliver. They get loud and sound clean with the right amp, but that's in the high and mid frequencies. You need a subwoofer setup to get that deep bass thump! I installed these in the rear deck of my Mustang, and they are great especially for the price. 2 12's in the trunk give me my bass

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...
1422625
The bass is very heavy due to the 50 mm drivers, but you can always tune it down if your device has an EQ. Mainly these are for bass heads lol

I think these are not heavy on the bass, but rather well balanced in their tone. They do not sound cheap or "tinny" at all though. The sound is quality is... rich I'd say. I use the stock player/ equalizer o my Note 2 though, so with Power Amp or similar you may be able to pump it up if you want more.I listen to rock, blues, folk, classical, reggae... not exactly bass heavy music, lol. I would not be able to sleep with these in for long personally. I find the sound quality an 8.5 to 9, but the comfort level about a 7 to 7.5. I suspect part of that is my ear canal "design" and not the headphones. I love em! I think these are not heavy on the bass, but rather well balanced in their tone.

depends on what you mean by "deep" but as others said, as long as they are in your ears right with the right amount of seal and volume, you will get the right amount of bass that is neither ear drum popping nor mosquito. I am by no means expert on sound whatsoever but if it means anything...i've compared with Soul SL99 as well as Skull Candy and IMHO the differences were very subtle to non-existent. I am sure others would have various things to say about this comment but it is simply my personal opinion for what it's worth.

The bass on these headphones is pretty level. If you want them to have a more pronounced bass level, you can use an EQ to do so. TL;DR No

The clarity of highs is what I would describe as "bright"or "crisp" which hopefully is helpful. Since it's a guitar not a bass guitar these could work for you. I use them mostly for music and occasionally T.V.

I have tried it with a P-bass. The cleanest sound was distorted. No bass type bottom end. Turning up the gain made a grainy hi-mid distortion. Not really usable for anything I would play or practice with. You can hear your notes so it might be of use to some players.

i have an amp dedicated to subs... so i rock a pair of these in the couch and my 15 sub i built.... (keep mind of ohms and what not). i use an inline LF filter on my LFE from my onkyo to ensure the lowest hits are getting to the shaker-- so it does not become annoying.... BUY em they are worth it-- especially when u have guest and dont tell them about it--- then watch IROBOT or something---- YESSS im not sure what B speaers are... but hit me up if u need other deets.

hey mate, they are great for mixing. you will not need an extra sub as they hv inbuilt subs. infact the low end sounds fantastic on them.
