from what i heard they are V curved as sounding, that mean bass, is great, mid are a bit recessed and treble is at full potential....
they are great for certain types of music, you may encounter some problems, and not a totally satisfaction if you listen to voice based music, like some rap, and in my opinion some certain types of rock, depends on your tastes...
ath m50 will work grat, but depends on your ears, the most as you like deep bass, you will like them!...
so it's 
+1 for ath m50...

the HFI-580 and M50 dont need amps, I suggest you try the two as I did and I prefured the 580 to the m50 hahaha.

so, i went to the music store today to buy the ATH-M50s and the guy said, they're not good for just music listening, and since i dont do mixes or anything like that, i only need good headphones for music listening. wat do you guys think?

Agreed. They are absolutely awesome headphones for general listening.

Well what headphone did he recommend? I'm curious what his reasoning was.

You see if you want to get headphones for listening rather than mastering; get the Skullcandies. They are the most premium consumer headphones. The M50's are reference quality and show far too much detail for just an average Joe like you. 

 

[Mdraluck23]

What did he suggest as an alternative? I'm curious to get the phone number of this shop. Let me at 'em.

 

[akakiller07]

i forgot wat he suggested but he said to stay away from any headphones that say monitoring, and just go with a headsphones that says Personal, it was in Long & McQuade

Do you have a phone number or link to the store? I'll do this. I'm serious. IDGAF. It's not like I'll ever meet him. I will be courteous.

 

[akakiller07]

Yeh he said, for personal use, stay away from monitoring headphones :|

 

[akakiller07]

Haha, sorry, I was just trolling. Get the M50's. Skullcandies are the worst as far as price/performance goes. 

 

[Mdraluck23]

YOU were trolling? Huh?
 
I don't understand.
