How much bass do these produce? Will it rattle your head?

These have a good level of bass with fantastic clarity across the full spectrum, both high and low. For gaming, there isn't another headset out there with better audio quality. I would suggest also getting a DAC/Amp or decent soundcard to compliment it to give you an even better experience...If however, you are looking for an audiophile pair of headphones for listening to music in ultra-high quality there are probably better options out there for you. This is for gaming purists who need a high quality mic and require the best sounds out of the games they play.

Audiophile grade headphones are not for BassHeads... They produce audio that is as close to reference as possible, if you want extra bass, you want cheaper, crappy sets like what are produced by "Beats by Dre", that destroy the sound quality for added bass.

The bass is not over powering. You have to realize these are still in ear headphones which are known for less bass than over ear and in this price range of headphones i don't believe you could ever have overpowering bass. They are very nice headphones you won't be disappointed.

No, these are amazing! I bought a pair B stock for $230 off of Ebay (after $20 Bing cashback), and I love them! I have had them for several weeks now with no issues. The only minor expected problem is a tiny rattle in the left speaker when playing LOW bass, as in below 40 Hz. But it's very slight, and as I said, expected. For $230, I couldn't be happier. Here's the link to the speakers on eBay (sorry it's so long): http://cgi.ebay.com/Audioengine-5-Speakers-White-B-Stock-Free-Shipping_W0QQitemZ260493630912QQcmdZViewItemQQptZSpeakers_Subwoofers?hash=item3ca6a15dc0 The black pairs are all out unfortunately.

For what they are, I'd say they do pretty well. I listen to a lot of metal with double bass and tuned down guitars. These buds do OK. Like any small speaker though, if you turn em up too much they will distort. If I am out running though, the noise blocking from these and I don't have to turn em up too loud to get a good sound from them.

The bass is descent for the size of the speaker, as long as you have sufficient power going into them, I drive them with old school 85 RMS - 300 peak amp is dialed back to about 3/4 and the perform extremely well.

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).

They will sound pretty decent, I never had a problem with distortion or static with mine and I don't have an amp on them. They put out pretty good bass for the price. I have had them for almost 2 years now with no issues.

The lower frequencies are pretty good. Just don't expect to pump extremely low bass frequencies at high volumes. It can handle funk, rap, pop, ect. Just not stuff like extremely low frequency with high volume/spl music, like say dub step. Also don't think you will win some kind of loudest/most bass competition. But if you listen to music with a normal bass response, or even a little bass heavy these will do more than fine.

Nope...but they produce excellent, rich sound. Better than beats by Dre to me. These don't have such overpowering bass.

For me, the bass capability is really very good. But the perception of how the lower frequencies are performing are generally a matter of individual taste. I'd recommend comparing the frequency response specifications on each manufacturer's web site. That will give you an empirical view of performance. But, the short answer...yeah, I like these head phones and plenty of bass, more than enough. Lots of bang for the buck.

They have a full sound but I also added a 12" sub too. So I would say not really good on the bass but they do sound good.

This is subjective so it is tough to answer. They have good bass, but they are not overly bassy. I would say they are very well balanced. If you're looking for something to shake your brain :-), these probably aren't the headphones for you. That said, the sounds is very clean, precise. Hope this helps a little.

Well obviously this can be a subjective question. But to me, yes, there's plenty of bass. Compared to something like beats, maybe not as much but I'd say the overall sound is really good and it gets quite loud. Also considering the price compared to the beats I would choose these every time.

these have the best bass I have ever heard in a pair of headphones.. smooth as silk and POWERFUL. (as noted in the other answer - the source music has to be good quality!)

It just depends how much bass you want. These will be very musical by themselves. But if you like rap music or pounding, room shaking bass; you will need a sub.

It all depends on the setup you want. The speakers (kenwood) pass 20hz to 22,000 i think.. Meaning they output bass but, not bass as boom boom. I tried them without the extra bass and they're good. It all depends on what you want. What do you want?

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.
