Hi guys,   just opening this post to gauge the interest in me writing up a very noob comparison/review between the two, as i have both?   thoughts, inputs, suggestions - all very much appreciated!

good and interesting read, you guys know how to write up a tale! ;)   any chance of a pic of the bag? =)   and in regards to the squarish look, how flexible do you think the headband is? any chance to bend it a little to make it less squarish/destroying them?   Quote:

o, and due to my unhappiness, a friend has recommended me to get the shure 535's. he's pretty audio-technical (as in quite into his sound and sound quality etc - not a supporter of AT), so the recommendation carries alot of weight in my opinion   any head-fiers out here have/use these...

  thanks for your review dsnuts, ill definitely be keeping my eye on the pioneers and the ws55's and will try and decide what i should do about my headphones in the meantime - to upgrade or to suck it up, and tough it out. hmm...   Quote:

perhaps us ws50 & ws70 owners should type up a request to AT and ask for a swap of our headsets to the ws55?   after all this time and burn-in i can say, for everyday listening purposes, im satisfied with the overall sound quality of the ws50's, but very disappointed on the bass side of...

@dsnuts sorry to hear about your ordering troubles with your ws50's   i havnt used the dj1s or the pioneers doing a quick search and comparing the prices between the pioneers and the ws55s show that they are roughly the same price (although the ws55s come in a little cheaper) the...

  @ iggyboy - if the ws50's are considered an upgrade on the ES55, i'd recommend staying away from the ES55, as we are both self confessed bass heads and i find the ws50's lacking. so that would mean that the ES55's should be even worse   ive also heard that the ws55's are replacing the...

so, back again with another update.   i'd say, by now, i should have had these burning in for at least 80 hours (i've lost track...) and had the opportunity to test them for another 2 hours, on public transport and quiet environments   now, purely as headphones for listening pleasure...

well, ive now burnt them in for at least 40 hours now (left them attached to my e250 playing dweavers burn in mp3 as mentioned above) i havnt and wont have much of a chance to be listening to them much, but ive now used them in a quiet environment (but only for an hour or so) and here are my...

sound - first impressions (after 5 hours of listening)   with all the labelling on the box, i can say that i wasnt exactly overwhlemed by the bass. sadly, it was quite the opposite. =( where i expected a BOOM, i only got a...i dont know. let's just say i expected more thump or something...

OK, so Audio Technica ATH-WS50 Solid Bass headphones - pictures and build quality   General Specs (off the box) : Driver                       : Dynamic 40 mm Frequency Response   : 10-24000 hz Output Sound            : 99 dB Max Input Power        : 500 mW Impedance               ...

first of all, i'd like to ask, do people agree with me that reviews of these headphones are virtually non-existent/impossible to find on the web??   as such, there does seem to be some interest in my opinions of these headphones, and now that i own one, i guess its up to me to try and fill...

well, for better or for worse, my ws50's have arrived.   so does anyone want me to start attempting a review or post pics etc?   or is it a foregone conclusion that ive wasted my money?   any ideas/suggestions?

hmm...no refund policy that i know of   these will be my first pair of AT headphones. , plus i generally like and trust things that are made/come out of japan   i also like my bass, so i was obviously drawn towards "solid bass" marketing   @ Ra79or - thx 4 your comment, it makes me...

im very sad and disappointed to hear that   i was quite excited to have ordered my pair of ws50's and if i hear that they are worse than the ws70's and then you tell me that the ws70's are worse than jvc branded phones...i think im gonna cry :'(   but i guess its too late now, and i...

sorry to revive an old thread   it is just me or is it almost impossible to find someone who has the ws50's and/or a review for them? (mind you, im just making a statement, not a complaint!) ive been busy trawling through headfi and other search engines trying to find some more information...

dont know how relevant it will be to you now, but ive just recently purchased the ws50's and will hopefully receive them shortly   can give you my opinions on them once i have them?
