Shure SRH840 vs Audio Technica ATH M50
Hey I am looking for a new headphone for $75-$90 (pre owned), I cannot choose between these two. The m50s are fun and fast but they aren't very accurate. The 840s are really accurate, with great soundstage but I heard they where too slow. My musical taste is really varied, my main genres are...- ExtremeHotDog

Looking for relatively inexpensive IEMs
Every single pair of IEMs I've owned has broken. Whether it be after a week or 6 months. But they all do (except for crappy Apple earbuds). I want a pair that will last for a long time, and I'm willing to pay around $80 if I really have to. I've been looking at the ATH-CKS55s by Audio Technica...- AllahLover69

A Beautiful Take on Beautiful Sound - A review of the Audio Technica ATH-M50WH
The Audio Technica ATH-M50WH Opening The Box.... The packaging of the ATH-M50WH is identical to the older M50s (assuming you have the white box one). The packaging is fairly simple, but it is enough. You get the M50WH along with a white carrying pouch and a gold plated screw on 1/4 inch...- WakiDabeast

ATH-M50 with amplifier?
My friend really enjoys his ATH-M50s and I was wondering whether it's appropriate to recommend a headphone amp for such low impedance cans. Would something like a cmoy noticeably improve performance?- jebuizyhar
