What do you usually use expensive audiophile headphones for? Do you use it to listen to music at home or for monitoring, recording, using it with your guitar, etc. I used to own a pair of beats studios to a point where I started finding it really uncomfortable. I sold them and was planning on buying a bose cause of the comfort, but thats when I decided to do some research on headphones. I ended up stumbling upon these forums which taught me how over-rated and over-priced beats and bose are. I ended up buying an audio technica ath-m50 just cause it met my criteria perfectly. When I played the first song, I was amazed at how good music could sound in a headphone. After some time, I guess I just got used to the sound of the ath-m50 and it stopped giving me that "awwww yeah" feeling it used to give me. Im starting to want to take music to the next level and I feel like im on the road to becoming an audiophile, or maybe a bit less. I then stopped and wondered as Im posting this thread that Im pretty sure those expensive open headphones are used for something more than just listening to music. I feel like I shouldn't spend a lot money if for the meanwhile I only use it to listen to music and watch movies and stuff, but at the same time I can't help but wonder and feel like seeing how good headphones can be. So my question is as I had asked, for what do you use high end headphones like the HD 650 used for? Also, whether for monitoring or for listening to music, is it worth it to spend the money on these headphones? Until now, the ath-m50 is the best sound I've heard so Im pretty far behind lol, I often think that if the ath-m50 sounded so good, imagine what audiophile headphones would sound like.
