Quote: I'm ok with the mids i'm getting from the M50. what music and how long do u guys burn them in? or should i just listen to music as per normal and hope they turn out better after few mths? i only listen to music at most 1 hr day. i listen to mostly electronic music like downtempo...

Quote:   i got the the coiled ones, they're not that heavy afterall, and anyways i lay them on my table and so the length was perfect for me. nice modding thread, pity the photos are gone. will take a look next time.   Quote: hmmm... actually i'm not entirely sure what 'mids'...

Quote: loving them! sounding very juicy off the box - clear detailed sounds and tight bass... can't wait to hear how it sounds after burning in! 100 odd hours or so i read...

ahhhh thanks! finally got my M50s!!!!!!!!! woo hooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

Thanks guys! I have a small head, will it pull my head down one side ? Like what zowki said, it's heavier. Also does AT provide service to recable to slimmer shorter cords? Do they charge?

sorry for double posting here as i'm not getting any replies from the other thread and hoping this thread would have more M50 users help me out! cos i'm buying them asap. some questions...   1. can someone let me know if the coiled one pulls the weight down heavily on one side of the head...

Can anyone help? Going to the store to grab one later! :D :)

can someone let me know if the coiled one pulls the weight down heavily on one side of the ear? because i've been reading that they are too heavy. i would want to go for the straight ones but they are too long. and the coiled ones seem like the perfect length but might be too heavy.   i'm...

how does the M50 compare with Superlux HD-668 B?

i actually quite like the M50 just that the price is a bit too much for me. Was thinking if the amount saved was worth the difference in quality if i get the XB500 (using EQ).   i haven't tried the ultrasone yet, but looking at the price, they seem pretty steep as well. natural sound, hmmm...

As per title, i'm not sure whether to spend more than a $120-160 on the m50 or around $50 for the XB500.   Tried eq-ing the XB500, but still a bit too bassy at certain parts of certain songs. Auditioned both and found the XB500 bass to be over slightly empowering some songs even though i set...

anywhere to get this pair at less than $159. scitscat is selling at $119 http://www.scitscat.com/p-4793-audio-technica-ath-m50s-professional-headphones-straight.aspx. not sure legit.   anyone spotted them around $100? this was the price most people got theirs, don't know why it shot up by...

i'm very stuck between ordering the XB500 at around $50 or the audio technica m50 at $159... ... auditioned both and found the XB500 bass to be over slightly empowering some songs even though i set a "bass reducer" or "treble booster" eq using my ipod classic. sigh...   the m50 gave me...
