so any other 2010 m50 owners notice this?
i have these 2010 m50s. some time im happy with it and some time not.
when i first got it, i wasn't happy happy with recessed mids. so i did the balance mod then i was happy.
that's when i thought i was happy. actually, some musics i listened to were good, some weren't.
then i undo balance mod last night, now im happy again. hope it last this time.
I definitely noticed this in my M50s that I bought four months ago. While having a lot of detail, they did not have that much bass, and the highs were pretty cold and sterile. I have since traded them, because they were not that fun.
That's the exact opposite of what I've experienced.
Dear all,
An update on my first post: The 2nd pair of M50s (which happen to have the straight cable) have now had another 200 or so hours of continuous play and any changes in their sonic signature have been minimal meaning that I can still tell the difference between the 1st and 2nd pair of M50s and I still prefer the 1st pair - deeper, warmer and not at all harsh in the treble (the 2nd pair can be a little harsh in the treble but this might be accentuated by the lack of bottom end).
The thing is the second pair are not broken - if they were the first pair I'd tried I would have thought they were fine just not quite to my taste. I guess there can always be slight batch variation in these things so I'm going to exchange them and hope for the best next time. I'll report back.
this thread has me scared... my ath-m50 is coming tomorrow =(
