Bass response is right where it should be for workout music without overpowering the rest of the range...Nothing about the Hellas’ sound signature or detail was offensive; in fact, we wish they were more comfortable to wear for longer periods. Call quality was good, and battery life was great.

The touchpad detected my finger movements accurately, and I had little problem playing, pausing, or skipping tracks, or adjusting the volume.

The Active Hellas won't overwhelm you with power or deep bass. Nonetheless, they also don't crackle. It can handle bass-heavy tracks with a modest "kick" and not a hint of distortion to be heard.

The Hellas' mesh headbands and ear cups are easily removed, so they can be washed, or even mixed and matched if you buy multiple pairs. The headphones also come with a mesh bag so you can toss them all in the washing machine without worry that the mesh will degrade.
