I just got the Audio Technica ATH-M50's and im not sure if I am fully satisfied with them yet (especially out of my ipod) so I was thinking of adding an amp. I am not really concerned about a DAC - having one would be nice, but I want an amp that I can put in my pocket with my ipod. I was...

Without any consideration given to price, which one of these headphones is the best? I listen to rock(classic, prog, hard,) and metal mostly, with some jazz fusion. I won't be buying an amp, and I'll mostly be listening to the headphones out of my ipod.   Thanks

Wow.  I thought the HD-555 were clear and then I got my AD-700's in the mail today and I have to say I am impressed.  If I had known the clarity on these things compared to the HD-555 I would have recommended them over the HD-555.  The only thing like most people is they fit very badly.  I am...

I just got the AD-700 and already want to do a re-wire on them.  The driver wiring is confusing.  There is a white wire all alone, a red and blue wire and the right driver connected to that.  Anyone know how to re-wire these headphones or know what the wiring scheme is at all?

Hi guys,   I am in need of a new portable headphone for the summertime and my vacation.   I will be using it without an amp out of my iTouch and Macbook Pro. My ety ER4P will still be my main portable monitors. But I want a pair to sit outside with and enjoy the sun.   I can get the...

Been thinking about getting a new pair of earphone for a while and I'm gonna pull the trigger now. I'm looking at the Audio-Technica ATH-EW9 and Klipsch Image S4/X5. (I wish the Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 is on sale now ) Music type: pop, r&b, electronic, etc. Don't listen to rock or heavy...

I just got a brand new pair, and I want these to last. So I took a picture of how I'm currently wrapping them when I store them into the bag that comes with it.   http://i71.photobucket.com/albums/i148/samsamsam_2006/ATHM50wrapping-1.jpg   Please let me know if the way I'm wrapping 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...

Which one is better? i can't find anything on the 2900...

*NOTE* I have not updated this list since August, but I am keeping it as an handy tool to compare prices. Deals are now posted as replies when they are found, so look at the end of this thread for the latest deals.   Since there were several requests for this, I am starting a thread for...

Hi,   I was wondering if anyone had compared Audio-Technica M50 against Shure SRH440 or SRH840? I would like to have the warm tonal balance of the AD700 with the energy and bass of the SRH440 : is the answer is M50?   It's overpriced here in Canada and I will have to buy it online from...

I have the AD700's and Xonar DX (Just got them both, LOVE em!) and I was wondering about a setting in windows.   The setting is:   "Select full-range speakers"   "Satellite speakers usually have a limited dynamic range and require that they be used with a subwoofer. If your...

I have just got myself a brand spanking new ATH-WWS70. A new addition to the Audio Technica Solid Bass line up. Just like any new toy, I am excited what beholds me when this baby is fully burned in. Straight off the shelf... The ATH-WS70 is slighter larger than my ATH-ES7, sturdier as well...

Ok, so FINALLY I will be ordering one of these two this week. Here are my requirements:   *Must isolate a fair amount of noise and prevent considerable sound leakage.   *Must work well UNAMPED driven from my iPhone.   *Must have good, impacting, yet clean bass.   *Will be using...

Need some input here. I'm thinking of upgrading my old Denon headphones that I periodically use when watching TV (movies) to a Grado SR 60i or the Audio Technica M50. However, my question is, if I use an extended cable that I can plug to my TV, will that affect the sound quality? By the way, I'm...

Should I change my Senn 555's to an Audio Technica ATH-AD700? run my headphones from a Prodigy Audiotrak HD2. I need it for music listening, especially indie rock, and some electronic music as well. I play games, too, but not very much.

Iv'e been reading for hours in order to decide which headphones i should get(first HP's). I narrowed it to M50 or SRH840- I think i read every review/comparison/thread available and i still can't decide. I listen mostly to rock(Oasis, Bettie Serveert etc) and folk(Bob Dylan, Elliott...

ATH AD900 Review This is a quick review based on my first impressions of the AD900. Out of the box (and very nicely boxed they were) the build quality and finish of the AD900 is first class. The cups of the Audio-Technica are huge, but the fon is as light as a feather. The single sided cord...

I am looking to buy my first pair of good headphones.  The following is my selection criteria:   Budget:             $150-200 Platform:           Desktop, Laptop (Macbook), iPod Source:             Lossy(250 KBps+) and Lossless (CD-rip) Music, General Computer Use (Games, Movies, etc)...

Hi   My history:  Shure E2 --> E4 --> SE110 (yuck) --> ER6i --> ER4p   as you can see , i like the portability and isolation of IEMs.  I liked the ER4p much , but unfortunately i've lost them.  2 pairs of them, actually.  so im looking for something new for kicks.   according to this...

Hi, I was wondering if you could help me with some headphone recommendations..... I have up to $300 to spend on a pair of on/over ear 'phones with these priorities: Must be able to be driven to a good level by an iPod, no amps necessary, Must be comfortable for 2hrs+ of wearing time, for...

i opened up m50 to see the inside and notice that it is very similar to sony v6 in design.   i see a damping foam on the bottom of the housing, another foam surrounding the driver and then covered by a plastic cup. and a small foam fill in the middle of the driver. also there are many holes...

Hey guys,   Recently I've been really getting into FLAC files.  I've been using Play on my OS X laptop, using the AU Graphic EQ plugin and no amp, straight to my AD700's.  I was playing around with EQing today, trying to find the sharp points to make my response flatter.  This included some...

To celebrate my 500th post, I would like to post my late impressions of the AD700.   Okay, now onto my experience with my AD700, which I've had for almost a year now.   I still remember when I first received it, and listened to it the first time. I was a bit frustrated, to say the least...
