    "...So stop it. I digress. The bass is not lacking by any means, however. It is still very much so there. And I love it...." Read more

    "...the bass frequencies, while nice and tight, and can handle some surprisingly low frequencies, tended to need a little bit of a boost when listening..." Read more

    "...prefer E40 as long as you can ignore the harsh, because it sounds more natural overall, while IE100 is pretty artificial regardless of what specs..." Read more

    "...The bass is very precise and never exaggerated, if you need more bass you can turn it up via EQ, but you will never get that fake shaky, reverby..." Read more

    "...I knew the Shure's were exceptional for the price, but I did not want to go on the bandwagon either. Enter the ATH-E40's...." Read more

    "...They rival Shure 215's and are good looking to boot in a way that the Shure's are not. I recommend them fully. You will not be disappointed." Read more

    "...But they sound amazing! cord is long. style is good. I think once I try different size pads they will fit perfect. Would buy again." Read more

    35 customers mention15 positive20 negative

    "...They also fit better, are much shorter and apply less pressure in the ears, they also seem to stay in much better...." Read more

    "...The driver exacerbates this because it is so large...." Read more

    Excellent!!!
    5 Stars
    Excellent!!!
    Sound - These earphones are very very precise and give astounding detail. The clarity is outstanding, plus I couldn't hear any sibilant noises. This very hard to pull of at this price range. If you listen to low-quality mp3 files, the music will be okay but unappealing. I suggest you download the Buena Vista Social Club album and you will notice the intricate separation of voices, instruments, and the soundstage - you can count the number of voices, instuments, and the audience participation in songs like El Cuarto de Tula. The bass is very precise and never exaggerated, if you need more bass you can turn it up via EQ, but you will never get that fake shaky, reverby bass that is with other earphones with driven bass. The bass presentation will be how the instruments like drums and bass guitar were played on stage. Electronic bass and natural bass are fast, accurate, and clearly separated. If the EQ is used to exaggerate the bass, there will be some loss on the mids - More expensive earphones will have separate drivers in order to separate both low and high channels more effectively and with faster response - this gives more EQ flexibility.These earphones were not tuned to please bassheads, they're meant to clearly present how the song was meant to be heard. If some bass, reverb, or more highs is required, you can always EQ and hit that pleasing bass only to a certain level, then the mids are affected. The accuracy, crystal clear clarity, and some flexibility makes these eaphones a great value for the money.Fitting Tips - I had to struggle a few days to get the right fit. If it doesn't fit you well, don't mind the wire first, insert into ear using a larger diameter tip and then start to rotate upward while pushing-in (see attached photo) - the earphone will naturally sink into your ear canal. The natural position of this earphone is about 60 degrees upward, see reference photo on my girlfriend and also the same as mine. After doing so, adjust wires to form a tight hanger on your ear.Note: if the wire-side is horizontal to your ear you will NEVER EVER get a good fit, it should face upwards!!!Summary:Very excellent value for clarity, separation, and soundstage presentation. Delivers outstanding music quality from FLAC files.Needs dual drivers for more bass EQ flexibility. Bassheads that want all thump and whump should get cheaper earphones - a lot choices.
