    ATH-M50 needs a new jack

    It has already been done. I don't know where to get actual Audio Technica ones, but I know you can get a gold one with a spring at Radio Shack. I don't know if it fits the thick ATH-M50 cables or not, and I don't think it has the 1/4" screw.

    ATH-M50 needs a new jack

    https://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2104061 Get one of these (doesn't have to be a radioshack one, its just what worked for me), a soldering iron (or 'pen' as some call it) some solder, and wire strippers. A sharp knife can substitute for wire strippers if you're good. Cut...

    ATH-M50 needs a new jack

    Well, is the ground the black one and the other 2 are for each channel? Because if so I tried that and got no sound. I seen on many videos headphones with a very small line for sound, and the rest was a ground, but they had 1 wire for each earphone.

    Looking at Sennheiser HD 449s

    I'm not sure about Sennheisers since I've never listened to a pair but I got the Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones... they actually need less power then my old Klipsch IEMs. Also, they're truly amazing. Out of curiosity, I once listened to Monster Beats... twice the price, and they sound like...

    Looking at Sennheiser HD 449s

         Well, if something is said to be infinitely better then the Image S4 (I've heard nothing better to compare) I'd probably go up to $200, it's all about how I can budget with my parents... Right now I have a used car with repairs I owe my parents for as well as insurance etc and I work for...

    Looking at Sennheiser HD 449s

    Edit: I should clarify, I'm not sure if these are full size or on ear headphones, I've seen websites list them as either, but I do prefer full size ones, in case you want to recommend an alternative.   If you're a TL;DR person, skip this paragraph. I'm really just getting into high quality...
