Beats by Dre Bass issue..?

First of all your problem is Beats. They're S'HIT. Secondly, if you don't post your phone or laptop we can't advice you. Why? Because different devices drive the headphones differently.

For instance, if you had an iPhone or a recent Android device (namely Motorola, Samsung or HTC) probably they come with the audiojack with nice drivers. By drivers I mean the piece of hardware use to amplify the signal to a listen-able level (like this picture. Second part of the top row the piece in the upper rightmost section). With sh'itty drivers you'll get sh'itty signal, that meaning lousy bass, lousy mid-ranges and lousy highs.

Probably your best bet for your laptop is either a little portable amp, or just buy yourself a nice pair of headphones. For 40 bucks you can get better cans than that s'hit on your ears right now.

There I said it. I DESPISE the Beats by Dr. Dre.

agreeing wholeheartedly.
I use a five dollar pair of earbuds I got at five below. Excellent sound quality.

The thing is, people mistakenly think they need to spend a lot of money for good sound quality

That's a myth.
The tech has advanced to the point where we have pretty much perfected it. My five dollar headphones would have been 200 dollars eight years ago.
