For listing to pure audio (without video) a 44 kHz sample rate is enough.   But when video comes into the picture this changes. Audio professionals generally use a 48 kHz sample rate because it is high enough to provide 22 kHz requency response on 29.97 frames per second (NTSC) as well as...

Scary... I have exactly the same  EQ settings for those headphones =D   Quote:  

I'll look in to that.   Are there any other solutions besides a laptop for my situation? All my music is stored on my server are there any other solution except a pc/laptop that might be interesting?

Hey there,   I'm looking for a good quality amp and any tips to improve my listing experience.   I will be using this amp to drive my audiotechnica m50. The headphones will be used for music and music alone so no need for fancy surround effects or the like. I'm thinking for using a small...

Quote:   They where a bit out of the box but the bass sounds much better after a good few hours of playing. I listen mostly to Metal so bass even though important isn't a main focus and I think it fits in well with the rest of the music.   Dunno about the difference in isolation...

FLAC can be found quite easily and is highly recommended with the m50 I find the difference between 320kbps mp3s and flacs massive.   Of course you can always get a few cd's of your favorite artists. FLAC's are more often then not ripped from CD's after all.   And I'm not sure what...

I recommend the ATH-m50s (with a nice cable turtle)   You can fold the cans up so they should fit in most bags quite easily.   Great sound, good isolation, comfortable to wear, good build quality, and they look good imho :]   And another plus is that besides that these cans works...

The m50 out of the box doesn't sound that great but will improve very nicely after some burn in time. I suggest you let it playing for at least 100 hours before wearing it :)   I was actually quite disapointed with the quality the first time I put them on then left them to playing music for...

I'm happy with my m50 but haven't any of the others.   I think you will be happy regardless which one you pick so pick the one that looks best to you :)

From what I heard the skullcandies are actually quite decent more then people give them credit for. This has mostly something to do with the they way they are marketed and the price.   Sennheiser is a good place to start they have a number of phones in your price range.   For example the...

As the m50 is my first "real"  headphone I can't really compare it with anything else I just know I love em ;)   Somewhere in this threat someone mentioned the phones where not very comfortable I would like to comment on that.   I agree that at first the m50 is pretty tight but after a...

The only thing that comes to mind is the Audio Technica m50 Really awesome can's for its price. http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica.../dp/B000P62ND6

If your fine with $5 earbuds don't put on anything more expensive! If you do you know that - like myself - you will never buy anything under 150$ ever again. But if you're really interested. Bring your favourite cd and go to a music store that sells hi-end headphones. Put your cd on with...

Cable Turtle Organizer, Electrical Cable Cord and Wire Management <-- these are awesome!

Depends how well you upkeep them.. A good pair of headphones can last a lifetime.

wrong topic ^_^

I love my ath-m50 <3

I mostly see people around with cheap Sennheisers or sony's I've seen 2 grado's or so and one other audio technica (I have a m50 myself). In the 3 months I have them now I've had over 25 people ask what kind of cans they where so that's neat

Of course you'll pick someone with a long, well underbuild explanation from what they like in headphones. What I want most out of my headphones is that they sound as the music was recorded. I have no need for increased lows, mids or highs I want my music "as is".

I like this thread. Lot of useful info for an hifi newbie like myself.

Oke, I have these cans for a bit more then a month now and I'm very happy with them. Properly burned in they do sound a lot better. Everyone who listened to them out of the box says they improved a lot. 4 Friends tried them on right out of the box and I had them listen again a few days back...
