Zune premium headphones bass

Can anyone confirm to me that the Zune premium headphones is in certain aspects technically inferior to the stock Zune headphones that ship in the old models? The reason I ask is because I bought the premium headphones, anticipating that they'll offer superior bass. Hell, the site even boasts that as a notable point. Superior bass. Well, I got these headphones and listened to music through them, and right off the bat, I realized the bass is actually inferior. At first I thought that perhaps it's because of the inserts, and it did say that the bass may be dependant on which size insert I use, but the bass was always the same. I immediately compared it to the older earbuds, and the bass was better. I really just don't get it. This is supposed to be an upgrade, and the sound is louder and clearer, but the bass is a step back. Can anyone else confirm this?

That's odd, I used a premium pair once but I didn't notice much of a change for better or for worse. If youre looking for cheap headphones go with these though.

Cool little things, I use them and they sound fantastic, the wood isn't just a gimmick.

I can't prove it, but I can say it.

re: Zune premium headphones bass

Have you tried breaking in the premium headphones by playing them at a higher than normal volume for a couple nights? I just leave them on my desk and play a good mix of music for hours at a time. I'm wondering if you've got a lot more play time on the stock headphones which would improve the bass response.
