I've used a pair of the old ones for some time and they are fantastic... plus, unbelievable battery life. As for bass response, I know they have a bass cube too. I haven't heard it myself yet but one would think it would be better. I've wondered what one of each would sound like. Perhaps they will do a new bass cube too?
