I would describe the bass as "weak at best" on them, but I've never heard other canalphones, so maybe they really are pretty good in comparison.
Yeah, when I say I'm looking for "decent bass" I mean "decent bass for earbuds".

Ended up going for the Klipsch S4i's - really happy so far. The reviews were just too mixed on the Shure's and the Klipsch ones ranged from positive to glowing.

My only complaint is that the wires seem a tad flimsy, but Klipsch gives a 2 year warranty so we'll see.

Overall these are awesome for just over a bill.

Thanks for the responses!
