The Audio Technica M50 only has 38 ohms which is pretty low. Will sound quality improve from using a 75 ohm impedance adapter? I am considering buying this 75 ohm impedance adapter from ebay...

I've been looking into many different models of headphones and i've decided i may purchase the Audio Technica ATH M50's... I want to make sure they would have: Good Bass that doesn't vibrate, distort or bang too much clear sound don't leak noise cancellng comfortable Good sized cable...

  Well, I got the m50's about a week ago. Here's my profile, I am a musician producer and drummer. I spend a good time listening to tracks from my laptop for school or for personal work on my macbook pro, and needed some closed ear pseudo-isolated NON-amped closed back full sized headphones. ...

After much reading here there and everywhere I've decided to make these my 1st £100+ purchase on closed cans. The last set I had was the closed HD205, my head is quite big and I found these to be way to tight after wearing for around 10 minutes, the sound was great for the price, but the...

And I wasn't overly impressed to be honest. After all the hype on Head-Fi I was expecting to be amazed by them. I'd probably put them on par with the Beats By Dre Solo HD only with a weaker, less punchy bass and not as much treble. And I'd have to say the Beats look a lot more stylish and are...

which would give me the best performance, to my uses? music(more then gaming)- from acoustic relaxing music- to dubstep, deathcore, hardstyle and all that... gaming- FPS, mostly. at the first, i thought to take the hd555, but i understood he got lack of bass, for dubstep hard style and all...

I heard a year or two ago it was $90 now its $150? Why is that?

I need a good set of full sized headphones to use with my Sony 909 minidisc unit, i listen only at home but after reading reviews on the set they all say they are excellent..... but .... they refer to them as monitor, studio and mixing headphones ?? I just listen to my adorable Kate Bush albums...

I've seen SRH840 and DT250 pads on the M50, but I'm looking for something softer.  I have DT250 pads on my MDR-V6 and those are pretty comfortable but the stock Sony leather/pleather cushions seemed softer(the DT250 cushions also seem to be more "cushiony" than the DT990s I had).  The SRH840...

Newbie here, and thanks to everyone who responded to my earlier first posting on this full size headphone forum, "Convince me not to buy the Bose QC 15's." I have done a ton of reading on these forums, and with so many detailed opinions and reviews, I've decided on getting a pair of the ATH...

I'm trying to get these headphones, but everywhere I read on this website people keep listing them as 100 dollar headphones, when I can't find them for less than 150. Did they just have a price increase?   And also can they be used effectively from cd players/iPods without an amp? If not...

The M50's have slightly boosted treble and a slight metallic tinge to it. I was wondering if it reduces with time or are there any possible steps to reduce it? It is noticeable on some songs only.

Hello,   Been snooping around the forum for a while, kind of a noob to the head phone world, so umm pardon my noobyness.   So, I've been needing a good set of headphones and I've listened to the B&W P5's briefly first hand at the Apple store and I was overall impressed.   Later on, I...

I am thinking about buying the Fiio E5 for my m50's, has any one ever tryed the E5 with the m50? Is the E5 worth it?

  Hey folks, so I just came across a 100 dollar amazon gift certificate and I just returned my m50s because of issues I was having with them.  that said, I now have 250 dollars to spend (instead of 150).    I was hoping that you could recommend headphones that offer punchy bass (more...

heres one website that has it for $87        http://www.7cheapest.com/product_info.php?cPath=255_260&products_id=3617&osCsid=lsp77bjapumc4cl4tisqklqn56   and heres another that has them for $108   http://www.kingspecssd.com/product_info.php?products_id=357

finally, after a loooong research stint that got me to join Head-fi, i bit the bullet and went in for my first high quality headphone. the M50s! i livbe in india and prices here are stupid high. i bought one for approx USD170....   i went in for the coiled one. i picked it up from a...

and if there are any better headphones for around $150-$170 then the two i listed then please let me know. also i might be considering the sennheiser hd 598s   the music i listen to are different kinds of metal, dance/trance/techno, regina specktor, and bach.

Got my HD668Bs (finally ). Haven't really burned them in yet, so here are my impressions. Forgive the poor quality pictures, my mum's camera is crap...   Accessories: 1m cord, 3m cord, 1/4" adapter, cable clip Build quality  On first glance, the housing looks cheaply built...

So after borrowing my friend's ATH-M50's for the past two weeks, I really want a pair of my own. However when I went on amazon, the price is now $159.99. Just a few weeks ago, It was around $115. (I knew I should've bought them then). What gives? Why the sudden price increase? and anyone know...

Hello to the head-fi community! I have discovered this site around two weeks ago and you guys tremendously helped me with my headphone ($100-200 range/no amp (low impedance needed). I was just lurking around but now I decided to join the wonderful community. I was between the Ultrasone HFI-580...

I'm thinking of getting a M50. I already have a HD650. Will there be noticeably more bass on the M50? And more treble as well with a reduction in midrange?   The main thing I'm concerned about is bass - how does the M50 low and mid bass compare with the HD650?   And another thing - what...

How do they compare soundwise (mids, treble, bass) but also comfort-wise? I'm someone who likes a very secure clamp (hd650 is heaven-sent in this regard) - do both of these headphones clamp equally well and feel secure on the head?

I am about to order a pair of Audio Technica ATH-M50 headphones, and i also want to purchase an amp with a DAC.  I want to spend about 150-200 dollars.  I also would like it to be for my house so it needs to be able to plug into my laptop. Any input would be appreciated. Thanks

Has anyone compared the sound leakage of the Sennheiser HD25 against the ATH M50? Given the HD25 being supra-aural and the M50 being circum-aural I would assume the M50 would leak less sound at a given volume, but reviews have said the HD25's also have very little leakage, which surprises me.
