Only AT gear I've owned as M50's and they were ok (after I realized what good was lol). Though putting on Brainwavz pads on my dads pair a couple months ago really did improve them since it gave more distance from the drivers. How do their IEMs sound?

M50 is very polarizing. I gave my pair to my brother in law. He loved them. I love my ATh-MSR7 more so.

Audio Technica makes some stellar sounding stuff. I was recently PMed by a guy that was following my threads and he showed me his picture of every single color of M50 imaginable. Why so many M50s I asked. He was a collector of AT stuff. Guy will only buy AT earphones and headphones and that is it. Pretty extreme. Lol.

I suppose I was like that at one point. AT comes out with new stuff every year. Year in and year out. For the most part. Newer AT stuff is an improvement from previous efforts.

But now a days I think the rest of the audio world has caught up and even surpassed them. More and more companies are going for the gold now a days and that is actually a good thing for all of us.
As much as I would love to try new AT stuff. They charge a premium for every thing they make so the value is just not there any more.

A few things I dislike about AT stuff. They always use the same tips over and over. I will be completely shocked when they realize their standard tip does not make the best of their sound design and actually create a new tip design. JVC on the other hand clearly designs the best tips on the planet and use them for their earphones.

The other thing that kinda irks me about AT is they make a great sounding earphone. The very next year there will be a newer model/redesign. So once you get into that AT sound habit. Just when you get a nice sounding AT phone here comes a new one but now with some new design or tech behind it. They are one of the best in the industry for reinventing the mouse trap. For some odd reason AT has never made a hybrid earphone.

The last thing I absolutely hate about AT earphones. They use proprietary connectors that they only use. If you have a collection of nice mmcx or 2 pins cables. You can forget about ever using said nice cable on an AT phone. So in order to actually upgrade a phone cable for AT you have get a specialized cable that cost more than it should due to the proprietary pins.

This being said. My AT earphones are all with me. Love em all. They sound great even now. I remember discovering the CKM50.. Don't know if guys remember this little gem.



I still have my pair. These earphones, Classics. Wonder if outdated earphones will ever be a sought out collector item that will go up in value like old video games does. Probably not.

Back to the topic at hand. Been switching out from the blue SPC cable to the silver and back. To my surprise the blue SPC cable which is pretty much a colored version of the stock silver SPC cable they provide with the HK6 is actually perfect for the HK6.

In other words. There is no need to spend extra for silver. Guys that want even better clarity and precision from the HK6 I suppose investing on an upgraded cable is a good way to do so but I was very surprised when there wasn't much of a drop off in SQ from using the silver cable to the blue SPC cables.

I am listening to them today on my M3s and it sounds so good. The crazy thing is my other earphones I have been using all are kinda waiting for me to use them again. I am very confident guys that got these will be pleased.

Soooo, i haven't used AE in a long time and never really used coupons. How do you guys stack them? It seems to only apply one coupon. Also, I thought I saw somebody mention a while back that PayPal is an option now on AE. Guess not.

There is a vendor coupon that you have to click on when purchasing an item. Unfortuantely NiceHCK does not do paypal it seems. I thought they did. Some vendors do and some dont. As I understand it Aliexpress themselves get charged a small fee for people using paypal and that is a disclaimer when purchasing with a vendor that use paypal

I don't have any issue using my credit card on the site never have.
