Audio-Technica ATH-A900X   I looked at reviews for it and they all seem very good. What types of music are best suited for these? Also are these the best I can get within this price range? I listen to a lot of orchestral, rock and hip pop/rap/ everything. I'm just wondering if there are any...

Hello, I'm new here and this MAY be the wrong section but seems correct. I'm going to be getting the ATH M50s after much research debating over them and the Beats Pros. I'm going to be doing the detachable cable mod for convenience and had an idea. While I was putting together my cart with...

Okay, you guys have probably seen a million of these threads before. My case seems to be a little different because I haven't seen a thread that has answer my question. How are the 700 mk2's when it comes to metal? I listen to bands like Between the Buried and Me, Cynic, The Black Dahlia...

Hello, I'm new to buying high quality headphones and this will be my first pair. I've been going crazy trying to find the best pair of headphones for my budget and I'm stufk between a couple choices. I listen to Dubstep, Electro, and also to things like Ellie Goulding or Ed Sheeran. 1st...

HI guys, it's been almost a year and today i felt like posting something on headfi :) My M50 are still doing great and are my first good cans so don't hate me for buying them, a lot of people said they were a good first pair of cans, so i got them for £150. I know i could of got them cheaper but...

I want a little more bass out of my M50. I want an amp for both portability and home use. Here is my setup:   Home: Foobar > Musiland 02 US DAC > M50 Portable: iPod > M50   Will a Cmoy or E5 amp be beneficial if I want to squeeze a little more bass out of these?   Edit: I want to...

It's odd, I don't remember them being like this, but today I played about 20 songs on them, ranging from techno to classic to light rock to ballads, and all seemed to have too much treble and not enough bass. I remember listening to these songs before and it didn't sound this way.   What's...

Would love to hear feedback on this.  Perhaps I can put it this way- love my Turbine Gold's, looking for a full size can that delivers similar sound signature but with better and more of everything. meaning more forward mids and highs, better bass extension, I need the bass to be boomy when...

Does anyone here use these headphones portable use?   I have the Shure SRH840s. They are annoying to wear around the neck. I feel like I'm wearing a neck brace. And that coiled cable gets in my nerves too.   Anyways!...How do the SRH750DJ and the ATH-M50 feel around the neck?   Can...

i have to choose between these three sets, any advice would help a ton.   a set of KRKs together ends up right around 300-350 as do a set of Audioengine A5's   now the from what i read, the Swans are rather new.   I'll be mainly using these just for listening to music, and having...

Hello,   here in Germany the ATH-M50 are 170€ (250$) "worth". Just everywhere. If I would import it from the States or UK, I'll have to pay 230$+ with Tax and customs duty.   I'm pretty sure there are way better cans for this price, as everyone here is stating that the ATH-M50 are good...

Just picked some up and am loving them, much more "fun" than our Senn 428's. They sound great through my ipod classic, haven't tried them through my avr yet. I'm planning on picking up another pair for my girlfriend as we play alot of drums on Guitar Hero(xbox 360) at the same time and need the...

I know there are many many of M50 vs HD5X5 threads, but I want the strengths of both so I'm in quite a pickle. One thing, I'm pretty addicted to soundstage and musical seperation ever since I got my first IEM's (the now extinct Cyclone PR1 Pro's). I won't lie, I like bass when the song needs it...

So folks , i like my M50 a lot , but when i read about  this outstanding bass from the Pro 900 i am tempted to buy one. However , is the price-difference between the two correct ? Is the Pro900 THAT better (basswise) ?   Thanks  

I'm coming from ATH-700's.   I mainly listen to Electronica/Dance/Hip-hop/ & 80's Hard Rock/Metal   Trying to decide which to get.   I like good strong accurate deep bass which some punch, good vocal presence, and treble that tingles my spine.  I like a good sound-stage, meaning I...

  Hey guys, So in a week or so I was going to buy the Audio Technica ATH-M50 (Straight Cable) The only problem is that the cable is over 10 feet long (I know there is a coiled version but it's ugly to be honest) so I heard that I could solder the cable.   Now I've never done this...

So, I have my Pro 750s and want to leave those are home.   I need a pair of strictly portable headphones, and I've really been looking at the TMA-1s because I've heard they're on par with, if not better than the HD 25-1s. I loved my 25s, but hated the cable, and the death grip on your head...

I can get all three of theses for around the same price. Which ones would you recommend. Other suggestions also very welcome!

Thinking of pairing an Audio Technica AT-PL60 or PL120 with these. Have some vinyl that's been collecting dust for years. These turntables have built-in preamps. I like the upgradability of the PL120. Just curious if the Swans will be able to do the vinyl justice until I can move up to new...

Hello,   Here are the boxes from 2 M50's I purchased from reputable dealers. The one on the left was bought 10/09 and the one on the right last week 03/11. I am still burning in the new pair, but both sound great. I am pretty sure they are real, just wondering if someone can confirm this? I...

Hey guys, pretty simple questions here. Just wondering if anyone of you have tried both of these out and which has more bass. I've already owned the M50's and there wasn't enough bass on those. I own the V-Moda Crossfades also but I'm looking for a more portable pair. I'm looking at getting the...

Hi Everyone I ordered an ATH M50S (white box) a month back and went through the correct burn-in and may have heard around 80 hours since I bought. The sound reproduction is very good. I am however looking for something more fun. The mids are recessed and the bass and beats are not enough. I am...

I posted this in the portable amp forum because it started out as a question about amps, but turned into an all out throwdown between these headphones. Just thought I'd move it to this forum since people seem to be curious about these headphones ... here ya go!   " Okay, just in case...

Ive had the m50's for a year and I really enjoy them, but now its time to get a replacement.     I was thinking of buying the TF10 and I would like to know how the sound quality compares to the m50.

Hi guys, I've always used Skull Candies so I'm new to the whole audio thing.  I'm looking to get my first pair of 'real' headphones.  I've searched around the forum and the m50's, SHR440's and K518's all seem to get good reviews.  I'm on a budget of around $100 because I'm in school (It would be...
