Unless you listen to lots of music with deep bass (read pipe organ, kettle drum) then the M80s rock the bass department. I listen to Goa Trance music when working out (ok sometimes Viking Metal) which has a very rapid bass and midbass beat and the M80s do it just right. IMO you won’t miss a subwoofer except for the deep Low Frequency Effects (LFE) of movies. I’ve even, a couple of times, forgotten I turned my subwoofer off until I put in a movie I knew had certain LFE and noticed it wasn’t as pronounced.
