Remember, this statement is used mainly to lure the same people who think beats are the best sound money can buy.

if you want decent bass, ull probably opt for the m50 out of the two hp. Although i wouldnt call either headphone "stylish" wen going outside, the m50 dont look heinous when wearing them in public. 

Quote: LOL so true! I hate it when people, even after listening to your superior cans, still insist their beats sound way better!

Quote: LOL, well actually he is a sell out. Thats why there's Justbeats.

Quote: I would stick with the stock cables, but nothing is stopping you from using different cables. Just make sure they're the same size. If your gonna use new wires, one idea is to cut some of the length off of the old cable and use the wires inside. As with the connections, when I did...

Quote: might also want to mention that its 500 dollars more expensive. 

compared to vmoda m80, how are they?

there are ath m50s out there with a removable cable mod, which would solve your qualms about them.

w8, how will I know when the wire is ready to be soldered? So it shiny and what colour? The same colour as wat it originally was?  

after i put the wire through the lighter, it turns black and when i scrape it, black soot come off. Is this the enamel? If not what colour is the enamel?  

ok, so i put the wire under the lighter for a second and it burned a small distance up the wire. Then i got a knife to scrape it, but nothing is scraping off.

How long do i put the wire under the lighter?  

Quote: Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to clarify wat did you mean in step 3, burning off the thread. Which thread is this?

Hi all, so i recently attempted this mod and it didnt turn out so well. I think the issue is getting rid of the enamel on the wire. So when I use a lighter to burn off the enamel, when i try to apply solder to it afterwards it doesnt stick. So I also tried it without using the lighter to burn...

Just out of curiosity, would anyone be interested in buying a modded ath m50 in almost new condition? Not officially selling yet, but would just like to know.  

Well, I ended up buying the ATH-M50 for $125 and i've had them for about a week know. To be absolutely honest, i find myself really disappointed and underwhelmed by them, especially considering all the hype that surrounded them. The fact that these are the first full sized headphones i've...

I have the lumberg chassis (the one thats a cylinder). Does it matter which wire is attached to which of the ends of the chassis, and if so, what colour goes with which end?

im looking for something relatively flat, that will got good for most genre's. are there any other good headphones that you could suggest? (in the sub $150 range)

Hi all, I've been looking get myself a pair of headphones under $150 for sometime now and its come down to the Audio Technica ATH- M50 and the Philips Citiscape Uptown. I'm leaning towards the Uptowns, because they seem more portable, but then again, i could do the removable cable mod on the...

Lol he said in the review that they clamp more tightly than other headphones. Hmmm....

Lol, was this the thatsnazzyiphone guy video? I too would like to know which is better.  

Well, here's my experience. I ordered from the Sound Professionals, and now, 3 and a half weeks later, they arent here yet.. I live in Australia btw. Srsly frustrating how slow the shipping is.  

For the replacement cable, if i get a cheap cable on ebay such as this one : http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/3-5mm-AUX-Auxiliary-Cable-iPhone-4-4S-iPod-MP3-Car-Stereo-Cord-M-M-Plug-/330631212725?pt=AU_Electronics_Accessories_Wires_Cables&hash=item4cfb27eeb5   will there be a noticeable...

you might wanna check the bottom of the previous page. KimChee posted an awesome method.

Thanks so much for the method. :D I'll be looking to order the equipment today. Also i'd like to ask about the part where you cut the cable. So im cutting the cable from the inside, not the outside of the headphone? Because i read somewhere earlier in the post it was the outside of the...
