Thank you everyone for your replies :)

Has anyone tried this with the ATH M50? If so, was there a significant change in the SQ? 

So I recently bought a pair of ATH M50 and what irks me is that I do not notice much of an improvement over my previously owned $40 Sennheiser HD203. So I was thinking of buying the Fiio E10 to connect it to my laptop.   My laptop is equipped with a IDT HD sound card and the sound quality is...

Quote: Thanks for the reply! By "effect" of E10, I meant the bass boost - I did benefit from adjusting the equalizer (in terms of bass) and I was just wondering whether the e10 will make it sound even better. And what other benefits will I get by using the e10 with the ATHM50?

Hello Head-Fiers.   Recently I did some proper equalization in WinAmp and the resulting sound quality was significantly better! (via ATH M50 headphones).   I just wanted to know whether the $80 fiio e10 is worth it? Or will it give me an effect which is more or less the same as received...

Bump. Guys, please help!

Hello headfiers   I'm planning to buy a headphone amp for under 100 bucks and I'm gonna buy either the e10 or the e11 (Amps of other brands ain't available in my country :|)    I'm using ATH M50 headphones and I wanted to know which one of these will benefit me more and give me better...

Quote:     Well to be honest, I want loudness + better audio quality! And I may go for a DAC (like E10) however I'm not sure if the increase in audio quality would be worth the $80 that I'll spend on it :(      Quote:  I've a desktop too by the way (which has a pretty...

Hello everyone!   I own  ATH M50 headphones and I listen to my music in my HP laptop which has a pretty mediocre sound card. (IDT HD Onboard audio)   Most of the time (99.9%) I crank the volume to 100% in Winamp and I can still listen to my music comfortably. It doesn't feel "loud" at...

@bcasey25raptor - Every headphone? Really? I'm can't get myself to believe that :| I actually tried playing 7 different bass-heavy songs and this left-right balance problem happened in all the cases.    PS : I've turned the equalizer on with the 70 & 180 Hz frequencies set at 7.5 dB. I'm...

@Amorgan - Yup! Tried that. Problem persists :(

Bump. Can anyone help me out? Do you think it might be because of my onboard laptop sound card (IDT HD) I've bought them from the authorised dealer of my country so I don't think these are fake. 

Done! This time my right ear experiences more rumble than the left year so yeah it's not really a problem with my ears i guess.    I actually set the balance to 100% right and 100% left and it seems the bass is slightly more in the left earcup(the one in which the wire is connected) then the...

Hello Everyone!    I bought an Audio Technica ATH M50 headphone 3 days back and I'm loving it so far but there's this small problem that's bugging me.    I mostly listen to electronic music and I love the bass-rumble feeling. However, I noticed that in some of the tracks, the left ear...

Fine, I shall burn-in more and post my experience with the headphones later on. Thanks everyone for the help.

I was looking for something with great bass. More or less which gives the effect of a sub-woofer. Since all the reviews said that the M50 is able to excellently reproduce low frequencies i went ahead and bought it, however I was disappointed.    I head that the new white/blue box version has...

Hello everyone.   My Audio Technica M50 headphones arrived yesterday. I previously owned a $40 Sennheiser HD203 and was hoping the $160 M50 would blow me away 4 times! As i had read so many favorable reviews here in head-fi.org. They're even ranked #4 in Over-Ear Headphone category.  ...
