This ad on Amazon for RS 120 headphones is confusing:

"Sennheiser Urbanite
The new Urbanite headphones deliver intense club sound, serving up solid bass with Sennheiser's
uncompromising clarity through the entire frequency range. Available in on-ear and over-ear versions in a
variety of colors to suit your style. Shop now"

What does "deliver club sound" means and what does "solid bass" mean?

The marketing assumption here is that headphones are for music, and
that "clubbing" is the ultimate experience for listening to music.
(I'd have gone with "concert sound," but I'm old.)

So, they are just claiming that they are really good, unlike the
cheap earbuds that you are assumed to be replacing.

Good delivery of bass is also a problem for cheap and/or small
speakers (which headphones are). The writing is assuming that you
have the bass turned up and want to do that. I would not expect
that they are increasing bass.


FWIW, I've never heard of Sennheiser, so I don't know anything
specific about their products.

As I am a card-carrying female, genetically programmed to prefer more treble and less bass,
I hesitate to leap before getting advice Messages on a hi-fi group are not getting replies; TV is not
"hi" fi enough for them..g

Your input appreciated.
