Are they really that bad?   I have the TMA-1 and for IEM I am currently using Soundmagic e10. i did just order the vsonic vc02 for another set of different iems's. I also have the NU-Force NE-6 and superfi5, i believe. i do listen to all sorts of tunes and was looking at buying the m50's...

Hey guys, first time poster here and newbie when it comes to audio equipment. I'm in the market for a new pair of headphones for under 180$ ideally and I've kinda narrowed it down to three choices.    AKG Tiesto K167 Shure SRH840 ATH M50   I listen to a lot of music, but mainly;  ...

So I've scoured through all the forum posts possible for mods on my ATH M50, and looked at/considered all the options for mods.  I removed the damping material behind the driver first, and decided that I liked that change, so I looked for further improvements.  I ordered the DT250 pads, and...

I have a 3rd-generation iPod Shuffle (the one with no buttons), and I'm buying a pair of Audio Technica ATH M50 Pro Studio Monitor cans from Amazon soon. Though I will mostly use the new cans on my computer for composition and production, I may want to use them to augment my WeSC Maraca cans...

Just wondering if these are a step up the a900 and moreover, the m50s. I also apologize in advance if this thread is redundant.   -Thanks for you help.

Could someone please tell me the height/width of the opening on the m50's? (Just so I can see if they fit me)   Units in millimetres please :D 

I'm looking at buying a set of ATH-M50's to replace my $20 Sennheisers, but the cheapest reputable place I can find is Amazon for about $135. Every place I've seen in the forum history has either gone up or offline. Is there a new best place to get these from?

Hi my dear friends; I'm looking for a new portable headphone. I usually listen trance and electonic music but now I'm in dilemma with these two headphones. If you help me choosing best one for electronic music, I'll be grateful. I almost forget I'm using sansa clip v1 and teclast t51. Thank you...

Anyone here have experience with the full sized ATH-M50? Now, I love this pair but I've been hoping to find an IEM to replace it without sacrificing much on the sound quality, since IEMs tend to be worse than full-sized from what I hear here.    I mostly listen to Anime OSTs which actually...

I bought the m50's a couple of months ago and the clamping has been kind of hard on my head.. iv tried stretching them for about 3 hours or so. over a couple of towels, but they still clamp pretty hard. i also dont want to stretch them too much because then i could lose the isolation. i remember...

Hi   I am new to the headphone world, and I am looking to purchase ATH-M50 for my first can.   After reading some reviews, I am thinking about buying an amp to go with my M50.   What do you guys think about Fiio E7, and will it improve the sound for M50 noticeably?    If not what...

Hey guys! I am a long time lurker and first time poster on these great forums. I have a question that may be kind of nitpicky but I wanted to get your advice. I ordered the ATH-M50 from B&H and received them today. I was a little concerned by two things. First, the pad cushion on the left side...

Hi fellas   I'm pretty new to this forum, it has helped me discover a lot of useful info!   I am thinking of buying the ATH-M50 because they operate at 38 ohm, and I am going to use them on my iPhone most of the time, followed by my pc.   Do I have to use an amp on the M50's to boost...

Hey guys, I love my m50 headphones to death, but I have never been a fan of the pleather earpads that it comes with. I want to purchase some other velour earpads, but I have no idea which ones will fit/are the most comfortable. I have read that the DT770 and DT250 both will fit, but it would be...

Title for reference   I want to get them but I was just wondering, have any better headphones been made in that price range after three years of it having been out?

I know they are drastically different in both sound signature and price..... but I'm trying to decide which to get next.   I have the ATH-AD700s and love them... just trying to figure out which can I would enjoy more to diversify my listening experience from the ATH-AD700s....   Also, I...

I have owned the 770s and found them to have entirely too much bass [with rig in sig].   Sometimes I want a basshead can for certain applications, such as Infected Mushroom, Deadmau5, etc.   So, what's the primary difference in sound signature and overall quality between these two cans...

My current setup is just a single pair of M-50s and that's it. I'm looking for another pair and I've decided upon the Fischer Audio FA-011s. What I don't know is how different the two are. What are the advantages that the FA-011s have over the M50s and vice versa? Do the 011s have better...

Hi guys     When I first got the M50s, the bass was, full and accurate with a rich depth. Now it is flat, less forward with less rumble. The highs appear slightly harsher. I used them for dubstep at full volume with a Fiio E5. Are the cans bust? The sound seems night and day..Any ideas?

Hey all,   I am a super noob at headphones, and I am looking to take my first step into high quality headphone world.   After doing some research I narrow my list to these three. But going through the reviews on this site, I heard great thing about all of them, making it hard to decide. ...
