I'm looking to buy a set of headphones which will be used in part for home recording, laying one track, listening to it while recording the next etc. I've head nothing but good things about the ATH-M50's but I'm just wondering whether they will keep enough sound IN so as not to end up with metronomes or existing tracks being picked up while recording? Any input would be thoroughly appreciated :)

Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own.

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

Can't help much here...only had them just a little while but I've found the sound isolation to be pretty decent for me.
i have several pairs of closed phones, dt770, dt250, ultrasone 580, and my m50 hardly leaks even at high volume. i use mine at work and even at low volume (1/4 bar on iPod classic) it drowns out all outside noise and hardly leaks.

I will add that I do not get any sound leakage from mine running at reasonable volumes. These phones are really good, for me at least, at isolating the outside world. Finally, when I first got them I let one of my playlists run on repeat overnight and I had the volume up much higher than I would comfortably listen and I couldn't hear anything from a few feet away.
Excellent! Looks like I'll be getting a pair. Thanks very much for the comments
