These headphones are hard to review because I like the balance of this headphone and to me balance is probably number one on the list of what makes a headphone of any quality because without balance you can have immense quality in the whole spectrum of frequencies and it would be for naught. Second on my list is vocals and clarity; 2a and 2b followed by bass impact. These have good balance and decent quality through the range but are otherwise irregular sounding largely due to what I can assume is shoddy driver replication, bad assembly, lack of real...

I am surprised. Audio-technica. Probably the best looking headphones ever. Probably the most comfortable headphones ever. Probably the biggest sound in a closed headphone. Bass resolution and impact is crazy good. Very very verryyyyyy comfortable. My big elephant ears don't touch pads -reminds me of a big Sennheiser but even better pads. These are like the Sony XB series had sex with the M50x. The headband extends smoothly, almost automatically like the automatic doors of a Tesla. Hard to find weaknesses to these complete headphones most other...

I remember first hearing the Yamaha MT220's. I remember thinking Yamaha is the new king of headphones. I can't wait to see what they do next. I thought if their lower level headphones had 50% of the energy and forwardness and refinement of the MT220's, they would be an adequate and fun and maybe more consumer friendly headphone to use regularly. I was wrong. These are a discombobulated mess. Treble peaks meanwhile parts of treble are missing. Mid peaks, guess what parts of mids are missing. Bass...WHAT?! This is not a cheap headphone why does...

V-moda calls them "Modern Audiophile" headphones and from my experience it is hard to argue with them. They have everything; clear highs that are crisp enough but not too crisp, strong backbone of mids, and expansive but balanced bass. I think it would be hard to find someone who's actually heard these say that it has too much bass other than some extremists who spend most of their time listening to classical music, yes those people would benefit from a completely different headphone, but we are not those people. These headphones have a forward...

These headphones seem to have a large disparity in reviews with people saying they're either too bright or too dark. They're very different from the UE 6000 which to me were very very dark. At first they sounded muffled but with a good balanced sound. Eventually they opened up with the treble shining through, lots of detail, great mids. I went to some regular hiphop songs and I was surprised that the bass was toned down. These are either very well balanced or the treble is slightly forward hard to tell right now since I just came from a very bassy...

These are solid headphones. A modern day boombox. Insignia reminiscent of the Illuminati. Too cool to explain the meaning to the uninspired.This is the future, or is it the present...or past. I don't know. Trapped in a desolate world like a black box that stretches to infinity in all directions. Plugged into the multiverse of beat. Torn between Zen and Chaos she is versatile. A shark that cannot stop moving.    It's hard to compare from memory because memory lies but the highs have been tamed slightly compared to the old M50's. They are still very...

This is a great inexpensive headphone with one of my favorite sonic signatures. It's one of the few headphones I bought twice when I tried much more expensive headphones being disappointed and realizing what I had lost.   One of the things I look for in headphones is how vocals are represented and these probably beat out most 200 dollar headphones in vocals department. But these are not one focus headphones. They're for studio use so they are well balanced everything is tight and well represented. If you're looking for the humming type of bass...

These are hard to review especially at the 50 dollar price point. At that price it's probably going to be one of the best headphones you can get in terms of pure sound detail.    But I would be remiss to not mention that it is very very V-shaped. I miss the mids. I would even trade some of that clarity for semi-decent mids. Only thing worse than a headphone with bloated bass is a headphone with buried mids.    The pads are very comfortable at first but like any around ear they tend to get hot over time.    In general ATH-M50 is better(although...

These have been my main headphones for a long time. Their simplicity combined with their excellent sonic character and relatively cheap price make them legendary headphones. There's a reason they have a cult following. 

This is an elitist headphone. It believes most youtube videos deserve death and suffering. It will turn down videos it does not like and add bass to cover whatever is left of those videos. It does not believe in more cowbell. My first instinct was "these sound terrible worse than cheap sony headphones," but as I listened I realized it was just picky. It liked certain recordings others it wouldn't even consider. The bass is overpowering for my tastes and the highs are ridiculously veiled so for most music this will make it sound unspectacular. I...
