      Mostly Hip-hop/rap and a bit of rock. 

Alright here's the deal...these cans are slowly starting to grow on me.    However I neglected to mention one important thing. For me, they're not very comfortable.   I don't know if I should return them and buy something else, or keep them lol.    If I do end up returning them, what...

      I'm using them with my computer. Onboard sound card if it makes a difference. 

Quote: Yeah I'm definitely returning them. I keep reading burn them in...I just don't see how that will give me more bass.    I do like the mids and highs on these though. 

Quote: I just got mine today. IMO it lacks bass a bit. 

****. 

Quote: Yep I went ahead and requested a return. They screwed up anyways. Ordered a pair of M50 (coiled), but I got the the straights which I absolutely abhor. I really don't know what to say, I'm very disappointed with these cans, IF this is what they truly sound like. I doubt they are fake...

Quote: Hmmm. Any way to tell if they are fakes?   Cause there's just no bass. I'll admit it, I'm a bass junkie, but everyone says these things have quite a bit of bass and I'm just not hearing it. They were purchased from a retailer on Amazon... TMS AUDIO DISTRIBUTION.  

Quote:   Yeah I thought these things would be the best thing since sliced bread since they get so much praise everywhere. Not gonna bother with refund from Amazon. Just gonna take a loss and throw them on eBay. 

Bass is non nonexistent on these ATH-M50s I just got.    I wish I was joking, but they don't sound much better than the Sennheiser HD201 I have.
