review from:
Buy Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Studio Monitor Headphones online at Musician's Friend
"I've read a lot of good things about the Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones. They are supposedly very accurate throughout the frequency spectrum with "no little white lies" according to their advertising. Nothing could be further from the truth. There is SO much 200 Hz bass emphasis it's ridiculous. The bottom end is positively portly. The high end is muffled and doesn't sound anywhere near the claimed 28 kHz. All in all, I was very disappointed in these headphones and returned mine. Save some money and get the Sennheiser HD280's."
from a reviewer who claims to be a recording engineer/musician.
From what I know, I've read you can't even hear past 16 Khz or so? so why would he claim that it doesn't SOUND anywhere near 28kHz? how can something sound 28khz if the music probably didn't have anything up to that range? just my speculation.
also... from what i hear, the HD280 lacks bass in low frequencies..so its obvious that if you jump to a phone that has relatively flat EQ or slightly bumped EQ in the lower frequencies..he would assume its Overdone, right?
also... it could also be he is a HD280 fanboy or didn't give the ATH-m50 time to burn in?
what do you all think?
