New Head-Fier
Coming from Grado SR225 (from 2007) to the Audio Technica M50x.
I received M50x yesterday, plugged it into my portable e12 amp and was not really blown away.
The thing I like about M50x and the reason I ordered them was to get better bass feel from a headphone and these deliver.
Besides Bass, the sound is just so much duller compared to my Grados.
I let my brother listen to them and his words where "Something's missing" and that pretty much sums up my experience at this moment as well.
Of course I did not let them burn in yet, but I do not expect dramatic improvement.
Update 11/16/14
I've been listening to the M50x for the past few days and letting them run over night. Maybe it's my imagination but they sound more detailed. Still not at the level of SR225s... Overall fun headphones which I can use in public without sacrificing too much sound quality.
