1 more thought. Are the mad dogs a significant upgrade from m50s?

Can someone give me an answer?

Yes very significant. Some people say that it sounds just like the Audeze LCD2($1000) and even a bit better than the LCD2.

The audio technica ath-ad2000 is close to $300 and is a great open-style HP

If you are gonna consider mad dogs... Consider buying your own t50rp and some modding mats. I could never pay 300 dollars for a modded headphone.

Even if they can beat a LCD2??

Are those claims hype or are they actually that good?

A lot of people have them and they have been out for a long time. Look at the Mad Dog thread. People absolutely love them.

 

[chrislangley4253]

 A lot of people prefer their own diy mods to both the paradox and mad dogs.

It's all about tuning in your own set when it comes to the t50rp's

 

[J-Lieb]

Did you mod them yourself? If so, how long did it take you? Because I'd rather spend a little more and get the mad dogs if it's going to take months to perfect them. Not to mention my EQ tastes change every other day.

 

[chrislangley4253]

Well.. I feel like I have mine almost dialed in after about a day. I think I will have them where I want them or close by the end of today.. I'll report back J-Lieb.

That's not to say my experience is gonna be the same for everyone else. But, what I did was follow BlueMonkeyFlyer's latest mod.. and now I'm working on tweaking it a bit to dial it in.

 

[J-Lieb]

I think the only reason that I would tune them myself is if I could do it quickly. When you say "tuning" do you mean that your changing the eq to match your taste in music? Or just tuning it for sound quality in general?

modifying the dampening scheme and other things within the headphone. I still don't have them dialed in, sometimes it takes a while.. Right now I'm waiting to try some different cotton to see if I can tame the highs a bit.

sounds good. i wonder if anybody has a comparison between self tuned ones and the mad dogs
