Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Subwoofer" in English language version.
So turn off the subs and swap out the Beats if the music you're listening to was recorded pre-computer; or if it was recorded since but is focused on reproducing the sounds of physical instruments. Without that bass boost, you'll hear the low end with greater clarity. And you'll have a better chance at feeling the music's intended physical and emotional reactions.
