Review: If you don't get enough bass from the mx500's try using the bass boost EQ. The Senns handles this with no problem while the stock Apple (Sony) ear-buds distort at about 50% volume using bass boost.

Review: Good clean sound, but could do with more bass power - tracks sound kind of 'lite'. My Nokia phone ear-buds are actually the best ones I've ever had in terms of bass power.
