These earphones can get really loud, and people who like listening to music at higher volumes won't complain. However we did notice that at high volumes, the bass completely overpowered the mids and the highs irrespective of the device we used. This pair of earphones is targeted at bassheads, and is well suited to the EDM and hip-hop genres.

We also used these earphones while watching you tube videos on the MacBook Air. We had to crank the volume up since the mids were suppressed. It is fine to watch short videos with these earphones, but sitting through a movie at higher volumes can cause some fatigue. We could hear a bit of cable noise above the Y splitter but not below, which is a good thing considering the price of these earphones.

Since the Boat Bassheads 225 has a microphone, we used it to make a couple of calls. We could hear the caller easily but we found the microphone to be very sensitive, which caused a disturbance every time it brushed against our clothing. Our callers could hear this disturbance as well and found it very annoying.
The Boat Bassheads 225 is an affordable pair of earphones, and the relatively makes it accessible to a very wide audience. It is designed and marketed to be bass-heavy, and we found that claim to be true.
