Bass is non nonexistent on these ATH-M50s I just got. 
 
I wish I was joking, but they don't sound much better than the Sennheiser HD201 I have.

The pair I tried did have a fair amount of bass but IMO it was not very good quality bass... More of a monotone boomy noise with metallic treble...

They are duds probably and the most over-rated headphones ever.
 
Both!
 
Sorry about your luck. Hopefully you can return them for a refund.
 
Very best,

Yeah I thought these things would be the best thing since sliced bread since they get so much praise everywhere. Not gonna bother with refund from Amazon. Just gonna take a loss and throw them on eBay.

Yeah I don't understand why people praise it so much. It really isn't that great.

I've never listened to a pair, but im guessing the fakes are now rampant.
 
Looking at the frequency response curve  they (should) have pretty loud bass and sub bass.

I might get a lot of hate for saying this, but i think the M-80's are the more over-rated than the M-50's. I feel the M-50's are atleast worth their price.

Hmmm. Any way to tell if they are fakes?
 
Cause there's just no bass. I'll admit it, I'm a bass junkie, but everyone says these things have quite a bit of bass and I'm just not hearing it. They were purchased from a retailer on Amazon...[size=11.818181991577148px] TMS AUDIO DISTRIBUTION.  [/size]

Refund it on Amazon, better than being hit with fees and **** if it turns out they are fake and you sold them on ebay.
They're either broken or fake if they have the same amount of bass as a HD201.

Yep I went ahead and requested a return. They screwed up anyways. Ordered a pair of M50 (coiled), but I got the the straights which I absolutely abhor. I really don't know what to say, I'm very disappointed with these cans, IF this is what they truly sound like. I doubt they are fake as I looked on AT's site and TMS is an authorized dealer.

Heya,
 
Get some Ultrasone HFI 580's or DJ1's instead.
 
Very best,

TMS audio distributors are legit. Not sure if its a smart scammer changing the name to distribution on amazon though.

****.

I owned them twice, and never saw what all the fuss was about.  I found them pretty boring.

Yeah I'm definitely returning them. I keep reading burn them in...I just don't see how that will give me more bass. 
 
I do like the mids and highs on these though.
