Pros: Overall great, good mids, highs, and lows its also very, very well built, respond well to eq
Cons: ear pads, doesn't come with an actual case. Needs to be burnt in
These headphones are great, i listen from to a lot of different genres of music and these sound great in all of them. They are built very well, and don't seem like i have to worry about them breaking. At first they sounded decent, but now they have about 400 or more hours of burn in and they sound amazing now!!
They have great bass that can be eq'd and amped to satisfy almost any basshead!
I can also easily hear every little detail in a song,it is an absolutely amazing music experience!
Pros
+great all rounder
+good bass
+can be made either really bassy or really non bassy through eq
+Very well built
Cons
-needs an amp
-earpads get hot
- poor soundstage
- recessed mids
- average highs
- clamp force
I rated the ATH-M50 at 3.5 stars and agree with many of your criticisms, but it's Asdfqwerty's review.
