I bet the people hearing no bass haven't tried different tips. Maybe you aren't getting a good seal with the tips that come on them. No seal = no bass. They definitely are not bass light, I wouldn't say they are bass head quantity, but they definitely do not lack bass with the right tips.
I consider myself an audiophile, an audiophile on a budget, but definitely still an audiophile. Do they sound as good as my HD650, no, but they aren't bad for thrown in earbuds. I use them on my lunch break at work and when I take a walk around my housing community and they do just fine in those cases. When I want the best sound, I relax in my recliner at home in a quiet room and use my better equipment.
