I recently bought a amp e7, and found the bassboost function on my pc. After enabling it, and having my amp volume at 60 I can experience a heavy bass that I've always wanted.  My fear is that I may destroy these headphones or break them or reduce their life expectancy.   is this an issue...

Not sure if people are aware of this but are people properly using the E7 E9 etc?  I didnt realize there was a separate connection for the USB dac-and that it wont automatically select it even with the USB plugged in.  I had to search for the instructions.  if people are still using the...

  Hey folks, so I just came across a 100 dollar amazon gift certificate and I just returned my m50s because of issues I was having with them.  that said, I now have 250 dollars to spend (instead of 150).    I was hoping that you could recommend headphones that offer punchy bass (more...

On iTunes I increased the preamp to 12 db and raised the volume.  While playing anything from mozart to Korn I could hear a certain amount of static in the background.  The music sounded fine, but I could still hear that static.  is this normal?  Or do I have a faulty pair?   I thought with...

Anyone recommend a good equalizer to use for the ath m50? I feel like the highs are a bight to sharp-and irritate my ears and I want to turn it down a notch to appreciate the bass more-or, conversely, increase the bass.  thanks. 

  Just tried the beats solo, pro, and studio at Best Buy for about 5 minutes each.  They have selected records to test under the rock, jazz, r&b, and hip hop genres.  To be honest, the rock and jazz is a stretch-the Jazz is vocal heavy with mono-instrument and limited soundstage design to...

I read somewhere here that the coby's were so good to a person he/she liked them more than the ath50.     I find this fascinating, and since I happened to just purchase the m50s (still in maiL) I figure'd I'd get the Cobys and try them out.   They cost 11 bucks ( i bought a newer version...

Basically if you wouldn't mind could you list your jobs?   If that is appropriate at all.  Or at least mention how you get funding.   Some of you, many, have some exceedingly expensive equipment from 600+ dollar headphones to really really nice setups.  I'm guessing from these pics...

I'm downloading songs via youtube (legal, so no worries) I have maybe 20 albums from MP3s and almost no CDs.    ATM I have zero cash on hand to buy songs, so I just download via youtube.  Again, I am NOT breaking laws.    But, i was wondering whether 280p encoded music is of poor...

So do you think with an e5 the athm50 would sound bass heavier and louder than the xb700...and then when I want to listen to classical or rock i can just remove the e5?  From what I understand the m50 are miles away the best for the price point for full size.  Is this correct? At this point I...

I used image s4 and then got the ath m50 after the klipsch tore and I returned it....   Can someone compare these two? I bought the full size in part to avoid weak cords and flimsiness found with IEMs but also because I assumed that the bass is much louder and fuller with these.  I love the...

First timer here.  I've been lurking recently because I realized I needed new headphones and I dont know who to trust for advice.  seems like people here know what they're talking about!  So thanks for existing.  haha.     I just bought the ATH-m50s after returning my Klipsch image s4s.   ...
