You will not find tons of bass here. This model does not have EQ or any other option for altering the sound. As you try to listen to music, you will find that the voices have pushed up and emphasized definitely. The drums lack the bone thumping deep bass. Things appear to be a touch compressed and if you like the bass to boost you, when you Workout, these Pixel Buds may not made for you.

All the Bluetooth earbuds are capable of creating a few amounts of noise at specific frequencies as the components will be turning on.
