Quote: Yeah that's what swayed my decision to the momentums in the end. The general consensus from the reviews I'd read was that the momentum have better sound (than the P5), and while the P5 offer benefits in terms of portability, I will be carrying them in a backpack so it's kind of a...

Quote: When she started saying "Well if you like the Sennheisers what I would recommend is.." I was expecting some sort of Beats, but nope, Bose. 

Already liking them! When I went into the apple store a girl came up and asked if I needed help. I told her I was trying to decide between the P5's and the Momentums, she proceeded to try to sell me some Bose headphones...

So I ended up getting the Momentums. Went to the Apple store and they had momentems on display but not the P5's. So I got to actually try the Momentums and liked them, and although I would of liked to try the P5's too, their mixed reviews combined with the strong reviews on the Momentums kind of...

Quote: Thanks.   I was set on the P5s until I found this thread this morning lol... It's a tough call... 

So out of these and the B&W P5's, what would you guys recommend?   (mostly for use in the office and commuting)

Thanks for the reply. I'll have to figure out how to get the plug off.   Was thinking I'd have to replace them, so was starting to look at alternatives since I use them mostly at work and on the train. Was looking for something a little more portable like maybe the B&W P5's or the HD 25...

Hi guys,   I have a pair of ATH-M50s that are about 18months old (bought after a lot of time reading these forums), I use them regularly commuting and most of my work day at my desk. Today I sat down on the train and the left side stopped playing sound. Any ideas on what could be the cause...

I just got my MS1i today. Loving them so far. Been listening to a lot of rock music (Foo Fighters, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, Paramore etc) and they sound amazing. Really digging acoustic music through these too, guitars sound brilliant.

Quote: Yeah it's not a bad movie. 

Quote: 500 Days of Summer  

ATH-M50s a few times in the new Foo Fighters Documentary "Back and Forth", you can spot them a few times in this trailer  

Quote: Instructions please :)  

Do the Q701 come with the stand the same as the K701/2?

AKG K701's, tempted by the Q701's if there is indeed more bass, can't seem to find a consensus on that though.

Quote: That's awesome!! Unfortunately, my dog wears Beats *sigh*

Spotted this, Fall Out Boy's lead singer

Quote: Well to summarize the last 9 pages.....   No. No one uses them for studio use. No they are not popular around here.   Also, the last 9 pages of this thread have me wondering, how do you not fall down more?

Quote: It's like they were sculpted by Michaelangelo lol   Anyone in here got much experience with amazon? Are most of the sellers on there normally pretty legit? I see the k701's and 702's are currently listed at around 50% cheaper than rrp, so even with the ~$100 postage to...

Quote: Oh I am so there!!! I was actually considering buying that amp. Have to head in on the weekend.  

I have spotted a few pairs of ATH-M50's on trains and such lately, which I thought was odd. Then I discovered that Audio Technica have opened a flagship store in a shopping centre in Sydney, (I live in sydney), and now it all makes sense.

Quote: I want some too!! I think there are some pretty good deals on amazon at the moment

Hayley Williams - "The Only Exception" and "Misguided Ghosts" from Paramore's latest album are awesome Vanessa Carlton Colbie Caillat (Check out "Droplets" on vimeo) Duffy - youtube "Warwick Avenue" if you're not familiar with her

I'm in Sydney, Australia and have actually seen a few pairs of M50's about lately, surprised me...

Yeah I currently have ATH-M50s (use these at work/out and about) and ATH-A900 (which I use solely at home)  and I recently got the FiiO E7/E9 combo, think it's time for a good set of open cans for at home listening, so K701's it is!!
