Okay sound is very subjective and we all hear things differently, but it does feel that way to my ears. These are perfect all day at the office shoes. Good range, good quality and amazing price for what it is. I came across these. Yes, the bass is deliciously satisfying. As Secretary of my HOA, I purchased a second one for the association and used it for a board meeting to help members who participated by conference call. When I first researched these I was unsure how they would fit compared to shoe sizes and while I normally wear a 10~11 (depending on the shoe brand) I went with the 10 instead of rounding up to the 11 as most people recommend because 11s were out of stock at the time. I looked at all the top brands and had essentially resigned myself to the fact that I was going to get a pair of Irish Setters but the price just left me slightly ill. I would have returned it immediately if it werent for a fact that I have sent the gift overseas. Great storage idea.
