It does bass better, but I think that's about it. That's just my opinion though.

1. How about soundstage?
2. Which one is better suited for classic n pop music.
3. Do you consider th momentums an upgrade or a sidegrade to the the ath-m50?
4. One last question, which one of them would I be able to turn the volume louder without offending my ears?
Thank you very much!

1. I think Momentum has a better soundstage but not a night and day difference
2. I love my ATH-M50 and listen to all genres so i'd go with M50s.
3. No
4. Momentum

I had the M50s for a little while and thought the sound was too stuck inside my head. I sent them back. I bought the momentum and I love them and kept them because there was to my ears a wider soundstage.

The M50 sounds punchier with a more sealed sound. The Momentum has a more refined, warmer, sweeter sound that I personally preferred.

But that was the old M50

Has any of you come across the dt-1350?
How do they compare to the momentums?
I do happen to have the dt-1350 along with the ath-m50, and I wanna make sure I am getting a better sounding headphones than both?

 

[potterpastor]

You already have two very good headphones. I personally prefer the momentum to both. The Momentum has a rich sound that I really like. The M50s have a tight grip around the head and a more sealed congested sound that I did not like as much. 1350 has a nice balance sound, but not as rich. But you should go to Best Buy and try a Momentum to see if you would agree.

I cannot decide. I tried on 20 pairs of headphones all in the 300 dollar price range and I personally felt my technica's sounded so much better than all of them besides the seinheiser hd 7s. I can't decide either if I should buy the Momentums because I don't know if it will really be an upgrade. I have a friend who will sell me his for 150.00. Can anyone help??

is it the on-ear or over-ear? if it's the on-ear, I wouldn't do it for $150 used. for the over-ear momentums, $150 is a great price (50% off MSRP).

 

[Prolificaudio]

They are over ear are they that much better than the technicas?

Really depends what you are looking for. I have both the ATH-M50X and the Momentum over ear. The Momentum is better for me, but not by an awful lot. I would rather try to go with something different....
