A little comparison of the 700 pro x with a dt770 80 ohm version. My initial thoughts were 'What, where is all this bass coming from?? This is too much!!!' Then I compared them to my Dynaudio BM15 (with Dynaudio subwoofer), and it suddenly made sense. It basically sounds like a speaker system...

It's funny how on the forum dedicated to sound quality almost no one mentions, ehm, sound quality. Leather ears pads, in my experience, kill high frequencies. Big time. Compared to both pleather AND velour pads (even more so the latter). So if you're willing to by leather pads and you like the...

This is not Roland's idea, I'm afraid, as these are (litrerally) rebranded Audio Technica ATH-M50, with same drivers and same angled driver construction. The only difference is the ear-pads, Roland made their own, hence a slight sound difference.

Let them explain what it means first, haha!

Yes, I agree, this is not as simple as it sounds, but it makes it a bit more simple if you look at this from mixing engineer's perspective. If someone mixed music only on HD600, for example, going purely by how it sounds, we would keep adding bass (assuming that we could trust his/her ears and...

What a relief to read this! Quite a few people ignore psychological and physiological factors affecting our hearing and mistaken this perfectly normal effect with some weird woo-woo stuff like 'burn-in' etc. Our ears adapt rapidly to the sound and sound sources, and things that sounded weird...

Matty, sorry, a bit off topic, and I completely agree with you regarding ATH-R70X needing a bit of a kick (a good one) in the sparkle department. This is the only disappointment with this headphone for me. As for the off-topic bit, I used to own all of these, some of them at the same time, and...

Pauldoni, if you are interested in those, I have a pair that I am selling, unused ones, per my ad in gumtree: https://www.gumtree.com/p/headphones/leather-pads-for-audio-technica-ath-m50x-ath-m40x-ath-m20x-lambskin-genuine-leather-ear-pads-/1355967051 Let me know if you are interested. Cheers

It was already confirmed before, dude, that was my mistake, and I was confused by the recording, as it sounded like the hats are actually heard in the opposite ear due to busy mix - that's quite common in busy overcrowded metal mixes. As soon as I heard something straightforward, I realised this...

You are right, Eimis, and I realized this since then :)

Amazing cans. The detail retrieval is so good and so much better than Beyerdynamic DT770 or Autio Technica ATH-50 (although I love both of those cans). You can definitely hear stuff buried deeper in the mix better with these cans (like toms in some recordings). They lack highs a bit, although I...

    Oh, mine look as good as new too, except that the left earphone is not working anymore on Basso. The cable has never been tugged on or anything. It just stopped working, this morning.

Their poor cable quality/strength has been stressed before, and I bought both Tenore and Basso to check how good they sound for the money. And the sound is good definitely for around 30 quid. BUT my Bassos have broken within one month, even with me being careful! So I would say stay away from...

Browse for Audio Technica ATH-M50, It's basically the same thing with some tuning/variation (less bottom end, less highs).

Hey Pedro,   maybe this will help: http://www.head-fi.org/t/575445/7-closed-headphones-vs-dynaudio-bm15-monitors-srh840-ath-m50-ath-a900-rh-300-q40-hfi-680-pro-dj100-etc   But it's all up to your taste and preferences, really. although it's not all subjective.   My best, Ray

Quote:   McNuggetsPie,    A900 does not sound like M50. They sound thinner, colder - you might also say, they don't reach that deep into sub bass, although bass is not a problem on them, IMO, as it integrates well into other frequencies. They are far more spacious than M50 (bigger...

Quote:   KJMOney,   In this case I myself would go with Beyerdynamic DT231, they are just more to my liking, more "creamy", very similar to Sennheiser HD595 in the mids department. http://www.studiospares.com/headphones-studio/beyer-dt231-headphones/invt/410860/  My wife uses them at...

Sorry, I can't comment on amps, as I have almost no experience regarding them. In my case a quality stereo amplifier or a CD player (not portable one) is more than enough to drive most of the headphones. 

Also, regarding the sibilance (S sounds). If it's in the recording and de-essing is not done properly (or artist made a decision to have hot sibilance on vocals for some reason, for example), then you have to hear it in the headphones, as otherwise it would mean that your headphones are too far...

That's the thing, you can't completely trust others in these matters, as to one the highs might seem harsh, while to someone else - sweet and silky  :) I find ATH-M50 a very balanced (apart from a bit too big bottom end, which is kind of a plus in this model's case, as it does not intrude on...

Hey Nati123,    ok, fair enough :) Be careful though - if you think ATH-M50's highs are harsh, DT990 will make your ears bleed! 

Hi Nati123,   In times like these finding comparison articles works, so you get to know the traits of headphones. But nothing will beat listening to them yourself and deciding what suits you best. I can offer a comparison article that I wrote a long time ago and, after many more headphones...

Quote:   Here you go, my 2 cents, if you've got time for a lengthy explanation :)   I can also add another monitor, beloved my many audio engineers, which is PMC TB2+. And the M50 replicate its signature even closer than that of the Dynaudio BM15. In my book, this says a lot. M50 are...
