I think they look awesome. Olive drab, which is one of my favorite colors. hopefully it doesn't end up on the cheeks.

I also do recording (nothing professional, just a hobby) and I have the ATH-M50's. So far they sound great and represent what's also coming out of my monitors well. They are also wonderful for listening to music. I'm not experienced with headphones aside from the M50's, but that's my opinion.

I've had mine for about a week and a half now (probably 30-40 hours of burn in) and I am in love. I was also surprised by the "lack of bass". When I say that, I don't mean there isn't any, I just mean it's less than I expected after reading the reviews. I pretty much found them to sound as the...

If you like bass, have you looked Audio Technica ATH-M50's? There's no way I'd pay for what they're asking for the Beats. You can get some really good cans for that money.

I've got the AT M50's in the mail and I'm planing on ordering the AD700's, ASAP, for basically what you're saying. I think the 2 will cover everything I need and if there was a way to combine them...it would be perfect. Of course there isn't though... Maybe I'll put the M50 on one ear and the...

Well I ordered some from B&H. Still not complaining as I got them for $120 shipped.

Shorter cable for portabilty. Possibility of improved sound?

not a one?

Well, I got an email this morning from Musician's Toy Box, they said they are out of stock until further notice....so I had to cancle my order. Looks like I won't get that great deal after all.

Searched and searched, but found nothing. Has anyone done this yet?

lol

I just bought the M50's but I may have to pick these up "for my wife". *wink*wink*

I got free shipping to Alaska. All said and done (with the code Ear Damage posted) they were $80. A damn good deal if you ask me.

Ordered. Thanks a ton, Ear Damage!

How do these compare to the M50's?

Hopefully this hasn't been posted and hopefully someone will find this useful, but it looks like there was a price drop on the M50's today. Audio-Technica | ATH-M50 Professional Closed-Back | ATH-M50 They were $149 when I was looking that them this morning. Could there be a new model...

bump for more opinions.

Thank you. That's kind of the feeling I've been getting, with the M50's and Q40's being pretty similar.

This is part of "weighing the options"; speaking with people who have experience with any or all of these. I'm certainly not just going to go off of what each of the manufactures say about them, or I'd never know their flaws.

I was hoping I could just search and search the Head-fi forums and come to the conclusion of which headphones to get, and although it has helped me narrow it down, I must give in and make yet another "which headphones should I get" thread. So here's what I've narrowed it down to...

Here's a silly question: What size Techflex are you guys using for mini to mini cables? 1/4"?
