I can highly recommend the ATH-CKS77's if you're looking for a pair of IEM's with powerful sub-bass, and clean lows, without sacrificing the quality of the high/mids (As most "bassy" headphones seem to). You can really feel your music with these, without overwhelming any of the other ranges.

Quote: I currently own a pair of the FX1X's, and yes the bass does kind of cover the other ranges. The FX101's are a definite improvement over the FX1X's. They really bring out the mids/highs much better.

I am unfamilar with the FR201's but I own a pair of the FX1X's and they are great headphones for the price! Though, I highly suggest instead purchasing the new version of the Xtreme Xplosives instead - the FX101's. They are basically the FX1X's redesigned, with much clearer highs and mids, while...

Quote:   I actually never ended up exchanging them(They were only like $10 dollar headphones - I saw no point in putting in that amount of hassle). I actually did like the FX1X's a lot, though the mids and highs did seem to get kind of drowned out by the bloated bass. Though being a...

Quote: I wouldn't be so quick to judge all of the Xtreme Xplosives! While the name is quite silly, there has been much love for the FX1X's in the past.(For bassheads) http://www.head-fi.org/t/577508/jvc-ha-fx1x-xtreme-xplosive-impressions-hopefully-fan-thread

Hello! I saw the FX1X's for about $15, and after reading many, many very positive reviews for these cheap buds, I figured I might as well buy them. Further into my reading, I discovered JVC's new model - the FX101. It seems these are the upgrade to the FX1Xs. And reading further in, it seems...

Alright Head-Fi, I'm new here, and come with one simple request. Nowhere else seems to know anything about anything. I'm looking for the BEST bass in a headphone I can find - For under 60 dollars. While I have many nice pairs of headphones, I have a craving for a pair with supreme bass. Being a...

I might just do that. How is the bass on those? I'm quite a basshead, and without a large booming bass I get disappointed in the headphone. These JVC are currently just one VERY large disappointment. Despite the fact they are GIANT.

After reading review after review of praise for these headphones, I decided to buy them. Couldn't beat the price! But now that I have them.. Where is the bass? I've allowed them a 24-hour burn-in time. Now, I realize this isn't quite enough for their full potential, but I thought at 24 I could...
