    How to make M50's mid less recessed & increase soundstage (56k)

    I just tried removing the foam off the back of the earpad and I found that it definately made the sound a bit sharper and unleashed the last final bit of detail the M50 has to offer.   Referring to removing the white damping material behind the driver, I would only reccomend doing this if...

    The Audio Technica M50 studio monitor thread

    Quote: ShinyFalcon is right, it's to limit, or to hinder the swivel of the cups. When I "opened" my m50's I removed it, and it did indeed make the movements smoother.    I'll be posting a tutorial up in the next few days, since I have some free time! :D

    ATH-M50 Open Mod

    UPDATE:    After about a week of listening to the modded M50's I'm thouroughly impressed with how much the M50's have gained a more euphonic and full approach. Of course, it was just the process of my ears getting used to the new sound, but I am very happy with the outcome of this mod. I was...

    ATH-M50 Open Mod

    Quote: Yes, I tried many combinations, including the two you stated. They turned out adding a stuffy and congested sound. I also tried using some KSC-75 pads i had sitting around and used that instead of the fiberloft; the same happened, but to a lesser degree. I tried a different convolver...

    ATH-M50 Open Mod

    I recently made a big decision to take a leap of faith and experiment with my treasured M50's. Although it turned out to be a much bigger project than I first thought, I'm completely glad I did it.    I've always wanted a good open headphone after I bought the M50 for the soundstage and...

    ath-m50 really underwhelming bass?

    Hmm, have you tried a different source? Try using Foobar2000 and if that doesn't satisfy you than try it with the equalizer on and a bump on the lower frequency range. I have to admit I don't like the sound of the M50's from an iPod Touch, strangely they sound underpowered and frail. If the...

    ath-m50 really underwhelming bass?

    How many hours do you have on them?    My m50's were extremely disappointing the first 10-20 hours. About 20-40 hours of burn-in turned them into exactly what others were describing. I'd suggest leaving them plugged into your stereo for a couple days with a pop/rap station playing. The...

    Need help finding USB DAC/AMP for laptop

    I do download my favorite albums in 24-bit/92kHz, so i think the extra resolution would be handy in my case. Also from what I've researched, if the Bithead is about 30$ more than the uDac2-HP and doesn't support 24-bit/92kHz than I think I'd choose uDac over Bithead.  When it comes to the E7...
