Title: Not bad headphones, but the bass is a gimmick
Product review: I got these headphones relatively cheap. They're fairly compact, lightweight, and comfortable. The sound is okay, but the bass is way overhyped. The subwoofer amp takes a single double-a battery, and has a wheel to adjust the bass levels. If it's not turned on, the bass is nearly absent. If it is turned on, it's muddy and thumping. It literally tickles to wear because the headphones are vibrating so much. My daughter loves to wear them and have me pump the bass to full because of the tickle effect. I have a pair of ATH-M50s that I bought for $110, and they richness of the sound is a million times better.tl; dr: if you're buying for comfort and mobility, these aren't bad for the price. If you're buying for sound, especially for bass, get something else.
