This is a video i made of me unboxing and reviewing the M50s. I am truly sorry if it is horrendous and/or it made you go blind. I am new to High quality audio, so i might not have used the best words at some times. I also made this to settle any beats discussions with people at my school.
 
I.E:
 
Random kid: "why do you have those crappy headphones instead of beats?"
 
Me: "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJ-1NuJKR8M"
 
Let me know how i did with this video and how i could improve in the future. I will be doing a Bravo V2 amp unboxing and review in the near future.

Nice Job.
 
 
As for advice....listen to them for a bit and then do a comparison b/w those and the 555's.

 

[duheee]

Thanks for the advice! I did a comparison between them at around 7:02.

That spring is for strain relief.... I've always loved that solution for strain relief!! Great job... love my M50s.

Would you consider them to be as comfortable as the hd555/595's? For me its important that I am able to wear them for a long stretch of time.

Your first video stops at 9:11 =P
haha sorry for my immaturity..
 
*edit. Just watched your review... you got the most advanced review on youtube about everything except the sound quality haha.

Yes, if anything the M50s are more comfortable for me. I am easily able to wear them for long periods of time. Some people have complained about the m50s clamping too hard to your head, but i believe this what fixed with the new model ATH-M50 "S".
Feel free to ask any more questions comparing the two headphones, i am the person to ask.

Hmm didn't see the 9:11 thing...
 
Thanks! I agree that i need to go more in depth about sound quality.

As far as I know, the S only stands for that it has a straight cable, nothing more.

Maybe he meant that the white box version is more comfortable than the older blue box version? Anyway thanks for the information. I am even more tempted to try a set now.

 

[Borgbox]

My white-box versions are incredibly comfortable. They are a little warm on the ears but really, I don't care about that. Otherwise, zero issues for me.

Yes, i assumed that the "s" was the updated one, but the "s" is irrelevant. All manufacturers that i know of update their product periodically, and this is the case with the blue vs. the white box, but i am sure some updates have been done even without changing the box color. So yes, the "updated" version does not clamp as much in my opinion.

Hi duheee - I am seriously considering purchasing these M50's.  My biggest concern is sound leakage.  I posted earlier today in a thread that I need some headphones that don't leak any sound or very minimal because I want to watch movies or listen to music in bed from my iPad while my wife is potentially sleeping.  She is very sensitive to noise while trying to sleep so was curious just how quiet these M50's are.  Please let me know your thoughts.  Hoping you say they are VERY quiet because based on the reviews I want a pair!!

My girlfriend sleeps while I listen to my music at a comfortable/enjoyable level. =) minimal leakage.

There is very little sound leakage from these headphones. These leak very little compared to most headphones, so i think these would be your best bet. The sound leakage is basically unnoticeable for me at moderate volume unless my ear is less than a foot away from them. Hope that helps. Feel free to ask any more questions.
