I felt like there wasn't enough information available for more comparisons between these two excellent cans. This is just a thread meant to be informative based on personal experiences; you may feel free to reply or ignore it, but for those who are still struggling between these two headphones I...

I would like to expand the soundstage of my ATH-M50 for gaming. Is this possible, and if so, what sound card do you recommend? My budget is $100.

my sister's birthday is coming up and i thought i'd buy her a set of headphones. now, the reason why i chose to pay under 50 bucks is that she is only in high school, is a brat, and especially clumsy, proudly holding a record of over 6 headphones broken under a year or two. most were earbuds...

Good to know I'm the only ESTP here ;) though I only post when I need some quick information lol.

Ok, I got the list down to the following headphones:   ATH-M50  MDR-7506 HD-280 HFI-680 KNS-6400   They all seem to fit my needs and need some guidance in picking the most flat-response headphone out of the 5, thanks.   edit: should I return my A700X and get one of the 5...

Quote: You should take out A900X as it has some added bass, says the owners of the cans.   I have an ATH-A700X but I still can't figure out if it is flat or intended to be used as a studio monitor headphone. If anyone could clarify this I would appreciate it and give you the deserved...

Getting right to the point.   Used for:   -producing music, especially electronic. -listening to music for pleasure (obviously) -gaming (counter strike, horror games, etc.) -closed-back -analog, not USB -as flat as it can get -soundstage not too important, but sure why not...

Quote: Which explains why A700X is a better flat-response headphone, no? I produce music daily and chose A700X over DT-770 PRO and A900X since the latter two have extra bass and not the flat-EQ I'm looking for

Quote: Thanks! By the way, nice set of headphones. How do you like to use one of your babies A700X personally? And how big is the difference between a700x and a900x?

Is it better to hook it up to my mobo or the Logitech speakers? I would love to listen to music using these cans at its maximum power!!

i purchased recently ath-a700x from amazon. i have logitech surround sound speakers z506 connected to my pc, and as for software i have realtek hd audio manager.    Question #1) i also heard that one should keep the EQ at flat, as messing with it will take away the intended sound the...
