Got my K553s today. Outstanding quality. I don't know how anyone could say these cans lack bass. I had to turn the bass down in the equalizer after the horns in the overture to Die Walkuere nearly knocked out of my chair. Organ music plays beautifully and convincingly with clarity and booming presence even in the lowest pedals, and with a live performance quality! These cans have bass! Opera sounds like it's in a performance hall. Quartets and quintets showcase every instrument with stunning clarity. Love love love!
kietkatThis makes me think mine are defective. I have zero bass, nada. I've tried all possible positions on my head, without glasses, pressing them to my ears to ensure a good seal, crank up bass with the equalizer, and it simply is not there. Am I the only one?
StandUpthat really is strange, I've been switching back and forth between these and the m50s and they definitely knock harder than the m50s especially if I press them to my ears. I actually have a small head but somehow the seal is working. I've only been listening to subbass heavy dance music.
