The bass is just lacking, I don't know what all those reviews were talking about when they said these earphones had a lot of bass. I tried tons of different equalizer settings and compared them to the Sony earphones that came with my Sony Ericsson W810i (cell phone w/built in mp3 player) and the JBLs don't even come close. I tried the earphones in my mp3 player and my laptop and the Sony's sounded much better in both cases. |
