    Audio Technica ATH M-50: No sound in right ear... no waranty. help.

    I've had this pair of ATH M-50's for about three months and I just took them on a plane ride in which they were probably treated a little less than gently. Now, no sound comes out of the right headphone unless I position the left one (where the cable is attached) at exactly the right angle. The...

    Hi--   I just got a pair of Audio Technica M50s a few days ago after reading so many positive reviews here. I've given them about 10 hours of break-in and I must say that, while I like some things about them, the bass seems out of control: thumpy, bloated, and muddying up the mids. I A/B'd...

    ATH-m50s, Do they break easily?

    I recently bought an ATH-m50s on ebay and they offered me a 3 year warranty for 20 dollars. The company is Squaretrade and I've read reviews on how it is reliable and will replace if the headphones get damaged.   Are the M50 durable and last beyond the warranty? or should I get the warranty...

    Repairing Audio-Technica M50 cable

    My friend's Audio-Technica M50's cable is broken near the stereo plug and he wants me to help him repair it since he has no soldering skills. How can I shorten the cable to remove the broken part? I have experience in soldering but have never dealt with headphone cables before.

    Amplification recommendations for the ATH-M50?

    Last year I decided to get my first full size headphones, and after a period of deliberation I decided the ATH-M50 would be the perfect set for me.    After a few weeks of listening to them, I eventually decided that they would benefit largely from an amplifier, a concept that seems in...

    Alright I know that they can be had for under 100 in the US and used etc, but here in Canada getting a pair of M50's for a semi-reasonable price is often a cruel joke. Until I saw this:    http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/ATH-M50   and the complementary $60 off coupon ...

    Okay, a thread was started here already on where the ath m50s are 100 dollars but the two conclusions were wait for amazon to lower the price and go to ebay look for top rated sellers who have a "best offer" option and put $100 as offer. Well, amazon has not lowered the price for a few weeks and...
