Either I've gotten used to it, my glasses work fairly well with these headphones or my head is small (maybe a bit of both) as I haven't really experienced much discomfort when wearing my M50's with glasses. If anything, I tend to notice the ear pads warming up first before anything else (call me...

Hmm...this has turned out to be a harder decision than I thought it would. My activities are split between music listening and gaming so it's a toss-up. On the flip side, if I upgraded my sound card to say a Creative X-Fi Titanium HD then I get decent results on both music and gaming...so I...

I'm using an M50 w/ a Fiio E11 right now hooked up to a Zune HD PMP / Galaxy Nexus and you should get it over the E6 (unless you need the uber small size). Also ... even though the M50 is easy to drive, it benefits from having an amp. *IF* you want to use your amp with a computer though, then...

Recently purchased new headphones (M50s) and ended up wondering on just how much of an improvement I could get by using an amp. So I went, tried out and purchased the Fiio E11 over the weekend and it was awesome.   However as I was aware of, the Fiio E11 cannot be used while charging meaning...

I did notice changes in my recent purchase starting at first listen all the way till now. Prior to this, I didn't really believe in burn-in (and my last set of headphones and IEMs haven't made any notable changes in sound either). In any case though, it'd be pretty hard to conclusively prove the...

Started out with Apple buds. From there, I went to Sony MDR-XD200's but the sound isolation that it provided wasn't enough (plus the fact that they were huge!) so... I followed that up with Sony MDR EX-75's IEMs. Lasted me a while until I lost the extension cable bit (q_q). The XD200's were...

Ive had my M50s for about almost 2 days now (but still under 40 hours of play time.) It does indeed improve (everything it seems and not just the bass). Ran it through an Xtrememusic any my Zune HD for ref. As my first foray into higher endbheaphones, im mighty pleased. It does get a bit sweaty...

Been reading up on headphones and particularly the ATH-M50 and I'm getting jitters just reading this thread :(   Bought the ATH-M50 (coiled) recently with my point of reference (or experience with) being Sony MDR-XD200 cans and Shure SE-215 IEMs (they just got delivered to my house not too...

Quote: I believe so, yes. The other one being the 250 ohms version (both will need an amp among other things but the 250 will definitely need one that can power that). 

Regarding the amp, I don't see why not (but I'm far from an authoritative source for that)   You can snag the Audio Technica ATH-M50 (coiled or straight cable) from Sound Professionals for about $119 USD right now with their instant rebate (and you can choose your shipping options as well -...

I've done some more reading in the timeskip and I'll probably just go without buying anything else. Also thanks for the input MattTCG and again audiopholic    

Thanks for the advice audiophoholic! Will take a look into that...though I guess at this point I suppose an amp is not really needed to make these headphones work (like other headphones I've read about)

I'm fairly new at well...everything (except guest-lurking around these parts) so my knowledge of terminology or specific details will likely be lacking. But it's the reason I have questions (on the ATH-M50's)! The goal: I'm looking to replace and upgrade the quality of my desktop set.   Do...
