The metal ring fell off one of the sides of my Audio-Technica ATH-M50 headphones. Will this affect audio quality in any way or is it just for aesthetic purposes?   *Edit (pic)*:

my earpads are cracking. its because polyurethane degrades when exposed to long term heat and humidity (ears). i want to remove all the pleather. i see there are 3 ways to do this: dissolve the poly with a solvent, sand it off, gently. or put them in the oven and spray them with water hoping to...

Ok so im looking for a nice headphone i can do use while im weight training in my basement so i dont have to blast music so the whole house can hear.    Now ive done a lot of reserch on the Ath m50 and sennheiser 555 but since i did all that research they released the 558 and 598 and i heard...

Hello this is my first post on this forum, I have just purchased a pair of Audio-technica ATH-M50 cans online.  Straight out of the box I have noticed a problem, the left side kind of sounds like somethings shaking inside whenever the bass hits.  The sound is hard to explain, I am unsure...

Hi, my Audio Technica ATH M50's cable has died. Somewhere along the cable, the right speaker wire is disconnected. Or that's what I believe, because I've ripped open the cable plug and it was fine, and so is the case with the other end of the cable, which goes into the headphones.   So I...

Okay, so I just edited my post, and originally I was debating whether I should get the M50's or the DJ1/DJ1 Pro's, but tyoung8 said they both have coiled cables which I really dont like because these are meant for portable use (yes I know they're kinda big but I can deal with it) and coiled...

I found the Shure for 63 and the other two for about 100 but with the Shure 440 i will buy the pad and maybe a replacement wire.  I would like to know which is most portable, best sounding, and best value. As simple as that. Another thing i was wondering is for the 750dj and srh440 can i...

So i just got a pair of used M50s on ebay knowing there would be a problem with bass over 80db in the left ear cup.  Is it possible to fix this issue or would it cost too much/risk damaging my headphones?   Thanks!

My first post to the forums and I wanted to start by thanking this forum for assisting me in choosing a new set of cans.  I was searching for a set of closed full-sized phones to do a mix of recording, mixing and casual listening/gaming on a budget.  After a couple weeks of research, during...

First off I would like to start off with a little background. I absolutely love Heavy Metal. I also like some Hip Hop and a little Jazz. Some of my favorite bands are Opeth, Lamb of God, Exodus, Shadows Fall and Mastodon.    I just ordered the ATH-M50's due to the positive comments on here...

I've been on a recent audio craze with headphones ever since my cheap 20 dollar headset I used to voice chat on games died.  I realized my iMac's audio wasn't cutting it and I could really do with some headphones that had some nice sub-bass and treble compared to the attenuated apple sound.  ...

I liked the Fischer Eterna's for their soundstage, bass and musical sound.   Does the ATH-M50 deliver a similar or improved experience.

I have recently become interested in a few over the ear headphones over the past couple of weeks. I listen to mainly Metal and Dubstep/DnB/any techno song with a good beat. The headphones I am torn between are the ATH-M50 HD-251 SRH750DJ K181DJ   My two biggest factors are sound...

I wanted to see if there was a better option for me.   I own the Sony MDR-7509 which I use at home, but I wanted something portable to use with my iPod Touch 4G, and replace the Skull Candy Titans (bad mids, avg highs, big lows).   I did some research in this site and in others for weeks...

I Am willing to spend up too 200$ on a pair of headphones. I'm no audiophile I just love to listen to music, I mainly listen to Dubstep and Drum and bass I love deep bass that does overpower. I listen to my music on my Iphone 3GS all of my songs are apple lossless.   Here's a few examples of...

I just purchased the Audio Technica M50's last week and love them. However, I've done a lot of reading and would like to know how best to break them in to maximize the listening experience. Please let me know the best method to do so (what songs to play/how long/ on what setting/ etc).   I...

I know these headphones have already been compared at their perspective price points, but I can get refurbished Beats Studio for $150 shipped with a 90 day warranty, or the M50s for $120 shipped with a full year warranty. Which the better buy? I will mostly being listening on my computer (w/...

Hello, I'm looking for new headphones up to the price of $150. I'll be using it mostly while I'm out, so they should look good. Also looking for strong bass, and I'm not after noise cancelling either. I've been leaning towards the Audio Technica ATH-M50's and i love the look, but I've...

Hi! Would you have something in mind about IEM which would sounds like the ATH-M50? I like it and I'm looking for something similar to it.     Thanks for sharing experiences.  

Is it an upgrade from going from ATH-A700 to the M50's?  If so, how big of an upgrade?   Also the reason is because i think the M50's are much more portable and presentable in public.   The A700's are bit bulky and heavy and just look ridiculous other than at home (where i use it most)...

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD595's that I use for home listening with my Matrix mini-i DAC/head amp hooked into my home PC. I also own a 16GB apple Itouch for portable music, but the generic apple earphones finally broke. This new pair of headphones will be for the Itouch mainly, but also for...

I am about to buy some headphones and i would like to know which of these are better and it comes down to a few things: Mainly audio quality Accoustics Portability Durability Size smaller better
