I read through the thread and it appeared that many still disagreed with that assumption. Do you know when they made that change?
1. Many more senior voices in forums such as Head-Fi have come out of the woodwork to fight the vicious cycle of first-time headphone buyers immediately recommending their only headphone to other first-timers. Up until recently, whenever a question was asked to an online audiophile community, newer members who had only owned the M50 jumped into the conversation and claimed the M50 as the best thing ever until other voices were simply drowned out. Since they’d never tried any other similarly-priced can, these people had no frame of reference and were more likely to overhype (think Beats). Now, many dissident members have taken back control of these discussions and lead to a more educated decision based on each person’s preferences.
Did you post the exact same thing word for word in another thread a few days ago?
Lol no, just making sure I wasn't going crazy. I guess the same question deserves the same response.
so what has changed that "Now I don't like them" besides that they have exploded in popularity? My answer: The introduction of the Headphone Hipsters.
I like to think of the DT770 Pro/80 the better choice if you don't need the extra portability of the M50's.
I absolutely disagree. I returned those after 2 weeks and lost a 15% restocking fee and the shipping to return them. Used an O2 amp with 0/2.5 dB gain setting. Way too much treble and the bass seemed to drown out everything else when it was called upon. TSSSSSS TSSSSSS TSSSSSS BOOOOOOOM TSSSSSS TSSSSSSS TSSSSSS BOOOOOM! My ears were dead tired after 2 songs.
So can we start a headphone hipsters club? I'm in.
