Uh, I don't know what you guys are hearing, and it might be because I'm such a basshead I always use high gain and EQ up my sub bass, but the T-Music Noise Cancelling Bass Buds (i'll call them the T-Musics from now on, lol, even though Noise Cancelling Bass is my favorite thing) has some SERIOUS bass action going on.
I am pretty surprised by its overall clarity and balance. Cygnus killer? no way.... but I would rank it near the RX-1.
Bass response is EXCELLENT. I was hoping and praying they would actually
rock bass because of the name and I can promise you they do.
Their only competition is the SeaHf 400. And these can be driven by a phone and still give you that bass.
They are capable of reaching much farther in bass depth and having MUCH stronger bass impact than any other earbud I know, exception being the SeaHf 400.
Highs are nice and clear but not sibilant at all. Mids are nothing too amazing, but I don't have any complaints either, so overall they are good to me.
I forsee myself using these a LOT more. There is a bass test tone CD I love to use when I get any new set of headphones (I have listened to this CD thousands of times without a doubt) and 95% of earbuds simply can't reproduce the lowest sub bass notes. They will just go silent or at best make a faint sound of struggling to do anything. These actually
pump out the sub bass
power.
Compared to the RX-1 the mid bass seems to hit harder on the RX-1, and the mids are MUCH more forward on the RX-1 than the T-Music but I have to admit I like the highs of the T-Music more than the RX-1!
Don't get me wrong, the RX-1 can have huge bass, but it's mostly mid bass or influenced by the strong mids. The T-Music is a more neutral sound with the exception of the powerful sub bass.
A sure keeper in my opinion. Very glad to have these. I forsee a lot of head time with these.
