Hi all, I'm new to this website and it looks great. I have been using Logitech G35's for many years until the cushions broke and they started to just get worn. I'm looking into the Audio Technica ATH-M50S. They are the same as the M50, but the S is for the straight cord. (I think). Are they good for heavy music listening, movies, and some gaming? I have seen only but good reviews. Also, can they cancel out some noise (passive)? Are they over and ear? And where can I get these at online or at a store with the BEST price. Thanks, take care.

I'll be listening to Pop, country, bluegrass. Will these be an upgrade from my Logitech G35's? I like to have good bass too. Thanks.

Also, should I get an amp with these? If so what kind. I'm willing to pay upward of 250 dollars for SEALED headphones. Thanks all.

You're amping them no matter what you play them through.  If anything maybe something like a dac/amp combination that you can line-out from whatever source you're playing them from, just in case the source itself is rather crappy.

While i love the M50s, many people around here would steer you away from them because of their somewhat small soundstage. I love them, and would highly recommend them for casual music listening, but there not going to do gaming justice.
