If you still have doubts, just open up the M50's put up some pics of the inside driver and someone will tell u if you got a legit pare or not.. there are a lot of chinese ones out there... And lemons are usually broken on 1 side, not both. Where did u say you bought it? Excuse my grammar and...

I have some news for u buddy. Its doesn't go alongside your skull, but it also isn't a crazy circle around your head. Its like in between you know? No pic cuz i prefer being anonymous.

You buy them both... because HM3 + a stand for $36 is also a heck of a deal... and you can resell them for more too. Where are you getting these deals anyways? I would buy them all if I could find a deals like that!   CitiScape Downtown's have guaranteed comfort and isolation w/ no leakage...

the CitiScape Downtown's are a heck of a deal for 30 bucks. You should keep them. I actually suggest you try to resell for $40 rather than returning if you don't like them. =]

Haha funny thing I was doing a quick comparison with my brothers HM3's just a couple hours back. The HM3 is more bright; less bass hitting, and treble and highs are a tad bit higher, can be piercing if you have sensitive ears. These HA-S400's on the other hand are warmer, and have a good...

Hayang, your picture makes the HA-S400/500 look almost like the M50's but with smaller cups. haha

The only difference between the M50S and the M50 is the more expensive one has a coiled cable.  Amazon had the M50S for $110 just last week. Not quite worth the $160 as there are alternatives. But for $110 its pretty good

1) doesn't matter how, just put atleast 50 hours into burn-in, 100 recommended 2) white box are newer ones. They sound the same except it is a bit more neutral than the blue box with a little less bass from what i understand. 3) it does just fine without an amp. I personally don't think you...

Hey can anyone identify what 3.5 female jack chassis he is using? It would help me if i used that because no heavy modifications are needed.

Hey, just a side note, if your going to use the M50's as outside portables for extended periods of time during the summer, your going to melt your ears off because after 2-3 hours, your ears start building up sweat, although I'm guessing that beats do the same thing to your ears.

Hey doesn't an extender mess up sound quality, and especially when there is multiple sources hooked up?

Quote: Thanks for the heads up! Thought it was a steal for the price! Just ordered mine.  

Well, that was 2 years ago, and that was the older version ATH-M50 that came in blue box, not white box, things change. where did you find a price for the M50's like that? Link me to the source before you buy.

You ask for a refund, if that doesn't work out then you report to paypal trying to get your refund, and then you report them to ebay explaining the situation

Quote:   How about you wait until the CAL goes down to $60 and that would save you some money for maybe a fio e5? Patience is key.

Actually, the M50 got its hype because it was considered by many to be the best set of cans under the $130 mark. about a year or two back, they went as low as $90 brand new. Since the price went up to an average of $150 in the US, other cans jumped in and quickly started competing with the M50's...

100% fake, headband doesn't have proper curve, the padding on headband is uneven, and the sewing job is terrible!!! Look at both ends of the sewing, terribly aligned.

"If you like neutrality, then they(MP8320) are vastly better than an unequalized Philips SHE3580, which has an extreme v-shaped frequency response. I detect at least two peaks on the 8320, one around 6800 Hz and the other around 9500 Hz--likely the result of ear canal resonance. Everybody's ears...

Quote: Really? I never heared the HD448, but it seems that it is listed on the basshead's buyers guide thread. Are you sure they lack anything in bass, cuz I doubt they would put it on that thread if it did? *edit  My bad, I can see that many people think they lack in bass. They really...

Has anyone ever tried these? I personally have never heard of Roland until today. From what I see, this headphone is popular in japan and has a near perfect rating on a lot of japanese websites. So, is there anyone that has heard these before? I want some impressions that I can actually read well.

Quote:   Wow.. Crossfades for $90 $95.. free 2-day shipping!!! WHOA!

  Quote:     Okay dude.. that's just straight up weird.. It looks like a Mix between fake and real!! Wth? Makes me wonder... Is Audio-Technica going cheaper? Or are Chinese copies getting better? Hmmmmmmmm... Where exactly did you get yours from and how did the box look like...

Uuuh.. isn't sigma tel hd audio on-board? Dell computers?

Quote: So what cans you use now?
