Is there a huge difference in sound quality when driven by the E7?

After much debating I am finally wearing my M50s, I was worried about their isolation, but I am so relieved, they isolate so very well and the bass hits VERY HARD. So happy and pleased with you guys helping me. I was debating the Ultrasones but I decided to stay with the ATs since my last pair...

Leng, from what I have read and researched, an ipod will drive them just fine. I am excited to get my pair, I plan to use an Ipod as my primary source as well.

Can I get another opinion on the ANC7Bs? Any comments will help me. Thank you.

I have read that there is sound leakage, did you notice anything really wrong with them?

Thank you so much bear, finally someone backs up the NC, now this makes it harder for me to choose. I am a college student and sound isolation is huge. I do listen to a lot of bass driven music, but I also listen to a lot of music with vocals. Is the bass present, obviously not as big as the...

What makes the difference? Thanks by the way.

I own a step down from it, the PRO5MS (like 60$ right now), no one seems to know much about it, I just want to make sure that these will sound better and not just sound the same. The only real difference is that the M50s have a bigger driver (45mm compared to 40mm). There are very small...

Bump. Can anyone else give me some insight on the noise canceling ones?

I am on edge about both of these, I want good isolation, but I also want good sound quality. I am also going to be using these on an unamped Ipod classic, so I want to make sure that they sound good with just my Ipod. I listen to a lot of bass driven music, so bass is a BIG deal, I also don't...

Thank you, how do the M-50s sound unamped with just a regular ipod? Can anyone give me insight as to how the HFI-580s sound unamped with an ipod?

I am currently debating these three phones for my ipod classic. Which would offer me the best and biggest bass, but also the cleanest highs and mids. I listen to a lot of bass driven music, so I don't mind if its shaking my skull. Does the ultrasone surround sound really work? Does the frequency...

Bump...Someone please, I just want to know if it will be worth it.

Right now I am considering buying the ATH M50s. I currently have the ATH PRO5 MS, and am wanting an upgrade, here are links to both headphones. I do not use an amp, I simply use my ipod. I want to know if the M-50s will produce better sound, clarity, bass and isolation than the ones I have now...

Will the M-50s be a step up from the ones I have now which are Audio Technica ATH-PRO5 MS? Here as link the only thing that seems to be different between the two is the driver on the M-50 is bigger, 45mm compared to 40mm, and the the impedance is lower by 2ohms, and the DB is lower by 4. Will...

Eric, thank you so much, very relieving, I have an Ipod Classic, and I worried that the M-50s would not get enough power.

Okay, I am going to go with the M-50s for sure now. After reading all the other posts on M-50 love, I should give them a try for sure. Does anyone use them with their ipod here? How do they sound? Does the Ipod power them well?

If it were you, would you take the Audio Technicas or the Sonys? I listen to a lot of bass driven music, but I also like good highs and mids, not just all bass.

Is there really anything wrong with the M-50's though? I mean, from what I've read, people really love them. I listen to bass heavy music, but I don't really want an over powering bass, just a present one. The reviews on the M-50 said that they can suffice a basshead, so I would expect them to...

Bump. Please someone help me out.

Hi, I have been looking into some new cans to replace my ATH- PRO5 MS. I am looking at the ATH-M50, and and also the ATH A700, but I am open to others. I listen to a lot of drum and bass and reggae, along with dubstep, trance and some rock. I listen to a lot of bass driven music, but I don't...

My budget is $100-$200. I like mostly everything, recently I have been listening to a lot of reggae, but also, trance, dubstep, drum and bass and electronic. Very heavily bass influenced music. Would you recommend these two headphones for use with just an ipod?

Hi,   I am currently looking for a new pair of headphones as portables to my Ipod Classic. I am split between the Pioneer HDJ-2000s and the Ultrasone DJ-1s. I am not a dj, just a college student that listens to music all day and wants very quality sounding phones. Some people have told me...
