You have no idea how much I appreciate your review. Not so much for the headphone review itself, but because you brought up an issue that I have with my current set of ATH-M50s. The earcups. They're very shallow, and cause my ears to cramp after a relatively short time using them. I've owned my M50s for about a year now, and put up with the light pain because they sound so damn good, but your comment about cutting cat5 cable then supporting the cups with it underneath is ingenious and effective. You saved me 300 bucks on new cans. Thank you.
