Hmm I think the M50s look pretty nice. But looks are subjective

I personally like the way M50s look. I think Audio Technica in general has a great sense of style about a lot of their headphones. Then again, I wouldn't mind how ugly the headphones were as long as they sounded great.
Also, I'm agreeing with you on too many points tonight, hudamanium
Uhh, the Lowriders are freaking horrible. I bought them for my gf, and they were the one of the worst headphones I've ever heard. Just...terrible.
So i'm hearing a lot of ES7 and M50. I've never tried either of them, and none of my friends own any, but you guys seem to think they're great.
They both look great, although the M50s are 200 bucks on the Audio-Technica site. If I could find them for cheaper, I would totally buy them. Also, audiocubes says the ES7s are 170 bucks, but I'm pretty sure I saw them somewhere for like 80.
Comfort is a big issue since I wear my headphones sometimes for 1-2 hours. I also heard that the ES7s are really bad on the comfort level, but I'd like to know what you guys think. And same for M50s.
Let me know where you buy headphones, because I really want to buy some cheap M50s. Thanks
[size=medium]I went through that thread: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/433318/shootout-57-portable-headphones-compared-audio-technica-ath-m50-added-11-12[/size]
The ES7s didn't get as good of a review as I expected, so I don't know how I feel about them yet. However, I found some new contenders:
-CAL!
-AKG K81DJ
-Beyerdynamic DT235
-Koss Pro DJ100
-Ultrasone HFI-450
-Yamaha RH10MS
-JVC HA-M750
-M50
-JVC HA-S700
Let me know your opinions on these. Thanks
i hate how best buy only has skullcandy, bose, and beats demos. I can't find a store with any other demo sets. I bought Sony XB-500s from best buy as a placeholder since i don't have any headphones currently. Since best buy has a 30 day return policy, I was going to use them until I found a better set ( ie M50s ) but I really like these. What do you guys think? I mite just keep these since they were 80 bucks and sound pretty damn good. Then again, I have nothing to compare them too haha
If you truely like them, they aren't considered horrible headphones. Decent for the price. There certainly are better ones around the same price plus a little more, but you aren't being ripped off in the cases of bose, beats, or skullcandies.
I would return them and buy them off http://www.amazon.com/Sony-MDR-XB500-Diaphragm-Driver-Headphones/dp/B001RB24S2
