09' M50.. Reincarnated..The Kicker HP541??!!!... A headfi first Duo take...
good and interesting read, you guys know how to write up a tale! ;) any chance of a pic of the bag? =) and in regards to the squarish look, how flexible do you think the headband is? any chance to bend it a little to make it less squarish/destroying them? Quote:- r3ptil3

Audio Technica ATH-WS 70 and WS50 ???
o, and due to my unhappiness, a friend has recommended me to get the shure 535's. he's pretty audio-technical (as in quite into his sound and sound quality etc - not a supporter of AT), so the recommendation carries alot of weight in my opinion any head-fiers out here have/use these...- r3ptil3

Audio Technica ATH-WS 70 and WS50 ???
perhaps us ws50 & ws70 owners should type up a request to AT and ask for a swap of our headsets to the ws55? after all this time and burn-in i can say, for everyday listening purposes, im satisfied with the overall sound quality of the ws50's, but very disappointed on the bass side of...- r3ptil3

@dsnuts sorry to hear about your ordering troubles with your ws50's i havnt used the dj1s or the pioneers doing a quick search and comparing the prices between the pioneers and the ws55s show that they are roughly the same price (although the ws55s come in a little cheaper) the...- r3ptil3

@ iggyboy - if the ws50's are considered an upgrade on the ES55, i'd recommend staying away from the ES55, as we are both self confessed bass heads and i find the ws50's lacking. so that would mean that the ES55's should be even worse ive also heard that the ws55's are replacing the...- r3ptil3

Audio Technica ATH-WS 70 and WS50 ???
so, back again with another update. i'd say, by now, i should have had these burning in for at least 80 hours (i've lost track...) and had the opportunity to test them for another 2 hours, on public transport and quiet environments now, purely as headphones for listening pleasure...- r3ptil3

sound - first impressions (after 5 hours of listening) with all the labelling on the box, i can say that i wasnt exactly overwhlemed by the bass. sadly, it was quite the opposite. =( where i expected a BOOM, i only got a...i dont know. let's just say i expected more thump or something...- r3ptil3

Audio Technica ATH-WS 70 and WS50 ???
first of all, i'd like to ask, do people agree with me that reviews of these headphones are virtually non-existent/impossible to find on the web?? as such, there does seem to be some interest in my opinions of these headphones, and now that i own one, i guess its up to me to try and fill...- r3ptil3

hmm...no refund policy that i know of these will be my first pair of AT headphones. , plus i generally like and trust things that are made/come out of japan i also like my bass, so i was obviously drawn towards "solid bass" marketing @ Ra79or - thx 4 your comment, it makes me...- r3ptil3
