So, I have a question for the group. Sorry, might be a bit of a newbie question and a bit long, but I would appreciate your collective wisdom.   I am somewhat of a budding audiophile and my “at work” headphones have finally give way allowing me to upgrade. My situation is fairly typical – cube...

Hey   I am looking for a new headphone for $75-$90 (pre owned), I cannot choose between these two. The m50s are fun and fast but they aren't very accurate. The 840s are really accurate, with great soundstage but I heard they where too slow. My musical taste is really varied, my main genres are...

Every single pair of IEMs I've owned has broken. Whether it be after a week or 6 months. But they all do (except for crappy Apple earbuds). I want a pair that will last for a long time, and I'm willing to pay around $80 if I really have to. I've been looking at the ATH-CKS55s by Audio Technica...

The Audio Technica ATH-M50WH Opening The Box.... The packaging of the ATH-M50WH is identical to the older M50s (assuming you have the white box one). The packaging is fairly simple, but it is enough. You get the M50WH along with a white carrying pouch and a gold plated screw on 1/4 inch...

My friend really enjoys his ATH-M50s and I was wondering whether it's appropriate to recommend a headphone amp for such low impedance cans. Would something like a cmoy noticeably improve performance?

Hi, im kinda new to the hobby and lately i just felt like i need a new set of headphones, im under tight budget tho as the title suggest.. im mainly going to use it on my android phone and on my pc. im looking at the Sennheiser 4xx series, particularly on the 439s or the shure SRH440. and also...

I have only been on this forum once or twice, over the past few years, so bare with me. I do realize there are other threads asking similar questions, but I believe my specific question requires a more specific answer. Point being, I need a new set of earbuds. I currently have a pair of...

I'm looking for a portable amp to increase the sound quality of my ATH-M50xs along with my HTC One M8. I'd prefer the price be below $50, preferably lower, unless the increase in sound quality is that much better. I plan on bringing this on the road and to school, so I'd like it to fit in my...

Is there anyone out there who has any experience with pairing ATH-M50's with the FiiO E6? I already have a FiiO E6 amp and are going to buy a ATH-M50X headset soon. Will the amp give the M50's any more bass? Is it a good pair? Will probably invest in a better amp at a later point, but need to...

Hey guys, I've been doing some research and narrowed my next purchase down to either the V-Moda M-100s or the ATH-M50s. I listen to mainly: Alternative, Rock/Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop/Rap, and Various EDM genres. My current budget is $180, so right now I could buy the ATH-M50s, but I'm...

I've read a lot about the AKG K701 vs the AKG K702 and the AKG Q701 and I've gotten a lot of mixed answers. I ended up being equally split among the three.   My initial choice was the 701 then I read that the 702 was everything about the 701 but better. Then I read that the Q701 bested both...

I just got the Fidelio X1's and they are very nice compared to my Audio Technica ATH-M50s but thats to be expected. I like these as they have very nice sound stage. I kind of want to return these and get the HD650's because I've seen EVERYONE review and like these. If I were to switch I normally...

Hello!     Any idea what kind of headphone i can get for under 200$ that will be best suited for music listening of all kind metal classical etc..   From my cellphone and my xonar dg amp...         I may get an portable amp but i dont know what to get if you can help me max budget is 60$...

Comfort/build: Overall, the ath m50 wins.  The ath m50 has better strain reliefs and the coiled cable is longer. The sheath on the cable simply feels better. The swiveling mechanism also seems to be more sturdy. The comfort is pretty much the same but the koss's un-natural shaped headband...

I currently own the Samsung Galaxy Player 5.0 and I read up that it has the Yamaha C1YMU823 which is apparently "inferior" to the Wolfson DACs found in the Samsung Galaxy 3.6/4.0/4.2.   Source   So I've been wondering..   Will the average music listener be able to tell the quality...

I am interested in closed headphones and have never owned anything better than apple ipod earbuds. I just bought both the ATH-m50 and dt770 and I know that the m50 is considered overrated here (which is always the case for any good thing) and honestly just feel that the dt770 pales in comparison...

budget around $200-$250 iPad 2 is main source of listening all genres but mostly hip-hop/r&b/electronic/pop how's the DT770? do I need an amp for DT770 + ipad 2? I hope you guys don't tell me the ipad 2 is no good

hey guys :-)  i have been searching the internet for new headsets, and have become fond of the audio technica ath-m50..  only problems is that i have a desktop with an asus b85m-g motherboard, and i am not sure i can get the full potential of of the headset with this motherboard  should...

Hi All,   I'm on the hunt for a good quality set of universal IEMs that is well suited to rock music (fav bands are Muse, Foofighters, RHCP, Linkin Park etc). I used to play in bands as a teenager and grew up on late 80s and early 90s music and concerts so I really enjoy that "kick in the...

Hello. You have probably had millions of these threads but I wanted to know a good option to upgrade from my old cans, the ATH-m50s which i've had for 2-3 years now. They are starting to deteriorate and fall apart now.   I heard that the DT 770 PROs were excellent, but I don't know which...

I was attempting to make them an open headphone by drilling holes in the back. While in the process, my driver became detached from the wires. The adhesive on it had been destroyed as well. Picture to show what broke: https://www.flickr.com/photos/92966415@N07/14117626243/ (not enough posts to...

http://puu.sh/8LRSC.png     im trying to learn how to interpret graphs audio related and can someone explain why those earbuds are worse than my m50s because according to that graph and my noob brains it looks better... what am i doing wrong?

I am looking at getting a new pair of headphones my current headset is the logitech g230 headset and i have not been pleased with the past 8 months having them. I am now looking at getting the audio technica m50s but ive heard that the ear pads dont last long with continuous wear, my other...

I recently got my hands on some nee audio technical ath m50's and they sound absolutely nothing like what any reviews said. To me they sound kind of empty and lacking. I don't know if I got a defefective or fake or anything, but right now they just sound like "bleh". Do they need burn in or...
