It’s hard to imagine a more often recommended, versatile pair of entry level hifi headphones than the Audio Technica: ATH M50Xs. Following their initial release back in 2014, the headphones became an instant success, garnering the attention of general consumers and audio enthusiasts alike. For $150, Audio Technica was offering a rather stylish, uniquely designed pair of headphones with a punchy sound that performed for just about any type of music. With the recent release of the official wireless version of these headphones, I decided it would be an ideal time to take another look at these, having now used them myself for over a year and revaluate whether they are really the jack of all trades I seemed to think they were last year. I’ve learned more about these headphones, and grown to love them even more in many ways. That being said, my time spent using them has taught me a great deal about the major strengths and weaknesses of these headphones, what they are best designed for, and who is really the ideal customer. These are a polarizing pair of headphones, an have earned passionate fans, and spawned an equally passionate group of haters. Today, we will be taking an honest look at one of the most popular pair of headphones to ever have hit the market.
Beginning with design, the swiveling earcups means the M50xs are perfect to place around your neck when not in use, as they feel far less clunky compared to most headphones which merely click together under your neck. The removable cable offering different lengths is an excellent feature, and one that should honestly be present on every pair of headphones. They were designed for portability, and offer a sleek, rather understated design without looking boring. That being said though, after using for hours on end the headphones become somewhat uncomfortable and begin to hurt your head. They clamp on pretty tight which means you don’t have to worry about them falling off, but sometimes may cause you to experience a certain degree of ear fatigue. Some have looked to replacing the earcups with ones made of softer material, but I personally haven’t myself. While the headphones aren’t what I would call uncomfortable, this is something to seriously consider if you are planning on using these for long periods at a time. All in all though, they are a very well designed pair of headphones given their price point, and have become so popular for a reason.
Sound quality is where these headphones really shine. I recently upgraded to an Audient ID44 interface and have been using the M50s exclusively with it for the last 5 months or so. When powered by a high end DAC like the unit inside the ID44, the headphones truly perform their best. Using a high end interface like this really exposes the headphone’s full potential. Vocals are always punchy, and a tight bass is present while never being overpowering. The mids are clear and well defined, and the same goes for the highs. Their sound is quite punchy and perhaps comes off as a bit harsh upon first listening. This is partially a result of their closed back design, but also something intentional on the part of Audio Technica to make their sound more exciting. In my book, this is all a good thing and makes for an ideal listening experience with anything from lossless wav files to streaming Netflix movies. Their low impedance means they don’t need much to drive them and will work just fine with even your phone. Streaming tracks through Tidal has opened the door to practically limitless high fidelity music for me, and provided me the opportunity to test these headphones with several different genres including alternative, hip hop, classical, folk, electronic and more. They always succeed no matter the genre, and really impress me with their reproduction of the acoustic guitar and breathtaking falsetto of Justin Vernon of Bon Iver (my personal favorite artist). Some people criticize their sound for being too bass heavy and not flat enough, but in my experience with some consumer level headphones in the past the Audio

I have to say that this is the best review of this product that I have ever seen. Really appreciate that you took your time to set all of this up. Keep up with the good work!
Thank you very much! That means a lot. Stay tuned for more headphone reviews just like this one
I love these retrospective reviews when you're thinking of buying older tech but don't know if it actually holds up. Thanks!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it. We’ve been experimenting with this style of more retrospective reviews and plan to do more
You are a very small channel putting out really good content. Hope I can see your channel grow to be one of the greats
Thank you for the kind words!
helo yelow I love these headphones
Just ordered a pakt.
And Iagree, this channel deserves a lot more subs
what a well made video holy man, i’ve seen so many reviews of different tech and this is by far the most well made review i’ve seen. well done man
Thank you! I really appreciate that. We are happy to releasing more soon :)
Keep up this quality and consistency in your upload schedule, and 2019 will be your year. No doubt in that dude. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Lucas I appreciate it
I love my m50x’s they blow Beats out of the water, Audiotechnica keeps their price point down a lot of ways, practically no advertising budget helps ( it’s not cheap to get Dr Dre in your TV commercial ) Beats are a fashion statement, a status symbol. Audiotechnica makes products for professionals. Also, if you’re super concerned about them being bass colored go with the cheaper m40s, they’re much more flat.
Like Walter would say ... YOU’RE GODDAMN RIGHT !
Yabba-Dabba Doo just did a review of the M40x ua-cam.com/video/OCNseHUKQHU/v-deo.html
Erickson Films nice, those are gonna be the next cans I buy, I have the 30s and 50s, and I got my 13 year old sister a set of the 20s for Christmas ( surprisingly good for the price point )
Yabba-Dabba Doo that’s awesome!
Beats are owned by Dr. Dre. He just using his name to sell the overpriced crap.
They are superb for digital piano and VST piano usage! I’ve tried many and they are one of the best choices 🤩
Hella good footage Anson! And this is an awesome review Christian! Keep up the great work
Thank you Acacia, I really appreciate you saying that!
Brother, you just saved me from a huge mistake! i'm literally looking for mixing headphones right now and almost bought these!
Many thanks!
Of course!
I’ve had the original M-50s since about 2011. The only thing I’ve had to replace were the cushions on the ear cups. Last night I accidentally broke them, they still sound amazing just one of the ear cups is loose and it doesn’t fit right. Sure, some super glue might fix them, but instead I bought a new pair. They served me well for 8 years.
You should of got the 770s by beyerdynamic they go 3x lower and are around the same price
Lol, I had exactly the same. I made a video about my new ones!
Are they uncomfortable for you?
@@trapdreams4143 IDK but they use velour ear pads which are very comfortable, I have velour ear pads for my M20X
@@hurley2609 The m50x doesn't have velour pads.
How do the M20X and M50X compare? I’m sure the 50 sounds better, but is the improvement in quality worth being over double the price? How do the M30X and M40X compare? I read a comment here saying the M40X have a more “flat” frequency response, aka more accurate.
I just asked for these as a birthday gift. Really looking forward to listening with them! Thank You!
Sweet!
That was a very informative and entertaining video. Nice work!
Thanks sash i appreciate it
This is literally quality of a 1M+ subscribers channer. Instant subscription

Thank you so much! Means a lot :)
Great video! I'm trying the decide between M50x and the SR50 for listening to classical and experimental noise, would you recommend these over the SR50s? I've read disparate things - that the sound signatures are the similar/way different, that the SR50 soundstage is terrible for classical, that the soundstage is perfectly suitable, etc. No option to tryNbuy during COVID. What's your take? As of now SR50=185CAD and M50XBT=250CAD. Any advice appreciated.
Thanks for watching! I’ve never tried the SR50. I also like the ath m40x quite a lot
Love the video Christian nice work!
Thanks man, it was easy using your quality footage!
Which one would you buy? This one or the Sony WH-1000XM3? Considering sound quality first
What's the best closed-back headphones for video editing for voice and music separation?

Thank you very much!
Now this is how you posted a review...straight to the point, nice friendly convertible voice, not to loud back ground music, good job men..
Thank your! I really appreciate the kind words. More videos are on the ways!0
Are these good for rock and heavy metal ? Am tired of buying bass heavy headphones which makes my music muffled
Yes love classic rock and the bass is there when needed and respond to classic rock in a great way. Then switch to a bass heavy rap song then the bass is really there. After breaking in they just round out great. And our comfortable
Finally, background music in the background. 👍 / enjoyed the video aspect too but needed the info provided so another 👍
Thank you! I always feel like background music is too loud in videos so I appreciate you noticed :)
HELP! I have a pair of m50's and my right speaker seems to fade in and out.Sometimes it just shuts off all sound immediately and comes back on in a random time. I checked all 3 of the cables and none of them look bent or broken. I also checked my pc and other headphones/earphones work completely fine with it. So i think it's the headphones themselves. I took a look inside both phones and the wires are in tact. Maybe it's the wire that stretches on top of the head then? Please send help and thank you!
That’s not good, I’m sorry your having these issues :( I would contact Audio technica or wherever you bought them from for a replacement
hey mate, will this work if i use them V MODA BoomPro for gaming?
Would you recommend these for gaming (I dont need surround or a mic)
Do these headphones work on the blue yeti?
Awesome video do you know if these are good for gaming and everyday use
Thank you! They are great for gaming in my opinion, I use them a lot. For everyday use as well they are nice option and won’t disappoint. I appreciate you watching
what would you recommend for all rounder usage like for music movies and littlle bit of Gaming as well please help!
p.s i do love bass
That was the best review video I've ever seen. So emotional.
Thank you very much!
This is an excellent quality review
Thank you! I think you’ll like our other reviews then :)
Awesome to see someone made the same video, but 100% in a different way! :D Nice one.
Thank you!
mines on the way... cant wait to hear this video again.
Awesome! I think you’ll enjoy them a lot :)
Simply great video. You got a subscriber today ! Can you please review the new wireless version M50X BT as well ?
Thank you! Really glad you enjoyed the video. We will look into it!
How does this pair with Fiio m3k DAC?
All of the devices I have used them with does not provide them with enough power. Even my iPad and desktop motherboard. Its only when I use them with an external amp is when they get lould enough. This could be because they are over five years old, I have dropped them a couple times from my desk, I used the larger/thicker more soft cushion (so a little farther from ears), and that my hearing is bad/damaged. I wish they where noise isolating. I like my in ears from Shure because they are, but they hurt after prolonged use.
Finneas uses these when he is working on his and Billie Eilish's music according to his 10 essentials for GQ
Yeah, no wonder why she sounds like shit.
Jacob Peck your opinion is incorrect yes wrong
Thats why i purchased it too
I just bought these headphones.. they sound good, they’re not as dramatically better than my Apple EarPods, I was expecting to hear something I’ve never heard before but that wasn’t the case. there’s way more treble than my EarPods though and an accurate bass but the treble is a lot. great for listening but not so flat in that department.. but mixing is great as far as moving sound nobs, and don’t let anyone else say otherwise, but the treble is so high, it makes indie music sound like heaven but im still getting used to mixing my music having to make the treble stand out way more than I would’ve on my EarPods, also the loudness is extremely accurate, nothing is all the same loudness, there is no bass boost, however the song was intended to sound is what you’re going to hear, they can get extremely loud but also really quiet compared to other headphones
if you use a dac and amp, your experience with the ath-m50x will be drastically heightened and would easily beat airpods
I’m confused ....
I owned a pair of Sennheiser HD 206 studio headphones which when connected to the iPhone the volume was ridiculously low ( 24 ohm impedance)
Now I’m using the Audio Technica M50x which are much louder than the Sennheisers @
(38 ohms impedance).
Why is this?
Kind regards 😎👊
From what I understand, impedance is not the only factor that leads to how easy a headphone is to drive
This is the best shot review I have ever seen. Excellent
Thank you very much! Shout out to cinematographer Anson Tan
I was wondering if these sound alright for playing games. I've seen lots of things reccomending beyerdynamic dt 990 pro but I want something that will sound good with music as well as games.
I think they would work well for that! Only downside is comfort
@@EricksonFilmsYT wow thanks for the quick reply. Comfort shouldn't be too much of an issue as I most likely won't be wearing them for more than a couple hours at a time.
@@icytea0 sure! I think they would be great in that case
Which headphones would you recommend for an audiophile? Under 500$?
Please answer lol I’m going nuts over here
Sennheiser HD660s
_thonking_ But the M50X's frequency response IS pretty flat though...? www.rtings.com/headphones/1-4/graph#295/3992 Can you provide an example that's even flatter?
Is noise insolation good for airplane? I can’t use ANC headphones due to sinus problem
I dont think it’s really good enough for that
Replaced my earpads with Brainwaves and holy crap the improvement in comfort is well worth the investment. Way less fatigue.
Well, I'm a huge bass fan, and listen to a lot of music, yet also game a lot.... Would you recommend these headphones for my preferences....
Yeah. The bass isn’t overpowering but is very solid none the less
@Yul Strokheet Al-Wauch I use the Bluetooth version of the M50x and Music sounds amazing so I kinda disagree here.
No. If you're used to a lot of bass, these feel like they have zero bass.
Thanks for the review good content
Of course! I appreciate it :)
These headphones have amazing bass response you can really tell the difference between the ath 40s and 50s
Not really an audiophile or anything but these or the M40X for music? I primarily listen to rock (Starset, Breaking Benjamin, Nothing More, Green Day, etc) Does one or the other sound better?
It really depends what you’re looking for. The m40x are much flatter and less colored. We have a full review on them as well. Two great headphones with different purposes. Neither is better really imo
You got yourself a new sub, Well done !
Thank you! Means a lot to me. We got a lot of awesome new video planned
i have an Audio Technica LP-120 turntable. i’ve been looking to get real a pair of headphones. i think an AT pair of headphones would be perfect
As long as they feel comfortable
bought this just recently but seems like its a bit louder on the left than the right side, is this normal? got a few others to listen to it as well and they said the same.
That isn’t normal in my experience. Your unit could be defective. I would recommend looking into getting them replaced
dude I’m having the same issue, why is the left side louder.. I only had it for like 3 weeks and this just came out of nowhere
this dude just made a slomo video review of a pair of headphones and pulled it off quite nicely. kudos.
Thank you my friend! I really appreciate it :)
do they sound good in games looking for something for games and music thats better then a headset
I would say yes
Yay I love them
Is it still a good headphone to buy in 2019 for listening movies and watching movies?
Absolutely
The thing is when it comes to commuting on a loud subway or just listening to tunes in the office the little punch of bass is just what you need to block out the sound. I love my audio technica ath-m50x for that reason. I've tried grados and sennheiser 280 HDs and they just don't work unless I'm in my home and everything is quiet
Absolutely! Glad you're enjoying them
Tempted to upgrade my 6 year old ATH-M30s to these (yeah, no x). Just got an AT-2035 and am really enjoying Audio Technica lately
How are these for gaming? I like detailed sound more than bass heavy music. Should I buy it?
Sound stage is not good for gaming. They were designed for music.
Sony MDR-7506 are the best closed back editing cans under 100$ imo
Great review as usual!!!...
Really appreciate it! Our new format is changing so please let me know what you think of our newest videos
Legend says he's still hearting comments to this day
😂
The m70’s are pretty good as studio headphones I use then for some school projects.
A very nice review of yours, but one thing i point out in your video is the hate towards these headphones. These are actually production and mixing based headphones, which actually is not meant for everyday listeners but certainly recommended by everyone as quality for their ridiculous price bracket. this still doesnt mean that they where meant for everyday listening, people who hate them could be some passionate haters but from the professionals and sound engineers who complain about their not flat enough frequency response are actually true, these headphones does have some colour in a very accurate amount in their frequency response that might sound very good and flat enough to the untrained ear, but if you listen to some even more professional flat responding headphones that are used by big engineers, you might understand where these complains and hate is coming from. I dont hate them i personally own a pair these and absolutely loved them for their price to sound quality ratio, but after trying some other even more accurate responding headphones i certainly realized they are really good for casual listeners but not so good for audio engineers, hope you understand... :)
Has anyone tried using these headphones with Hi-Fi Quad DAC on LG phones?
I have LG V30+
Is there a big difference in sound Quality when using the Quad DAC?
Same here, I have the same phone and just bought these headphones tonight... Will try to update this when they come.
@@2004FordRangerXLT got mines 3 days ago.
Loving them already.
@@KOOL8MIKE that's great to hear! Notice anything different with the Quad dac?
@@2004FordRangerXLT yes
I had to play around with the sound preset in the HiFi settings.
It's sounds more clear set to detail when listening to reggae.
Weirdly the same FLAC file sounds better on my MacBook pro.
@@2004FordRangerXLT It is a big step up from my earbuds for sure.
I subscribed right when you said the comment about Justin Vernon this is the reason I ordered these; he is by far the best artist of our generation. 3:55, You can also see him wear these live, which is where i had the idea to buy them.
Thank you! Always makes me happy to meet another Justin Vernon fan. I absolutely agree. His music has changed my life for the better :)
Erickson Films Totally!! As you responded to my comment I’m currently listening to “babys”. It’s very hard to find someone with this same music taste
Pun Master really glad to hear it
U deserve a larger audience.....good work mate
Thank you very much!
How do I check to see if a DAP is powerful enough to drive these? Thanks.
They are really easy to drive. Most phones can without a problem
@@EricksonFilmsYT Most appreciated. I thought, ... get a DAP, get some headphones easy ..... then started running into all sorts of specs and confusion and uncertainly sets in.
Could i use these for everyday lifestyle use, like chilling in my room or going out, commuting etc?
Absolutely!
@@EricksonFilmsYT great thank you for your reply! I honestly loved this video, for a second I stopped listening to the facts about the headphones and was just tuning in on how great the visuals looked and your stills etc haha very good script to 👍🏻👍🏻
TheReal Agent47 of course! I’m really glad you liked it :) our style of video has changed but I think the quality remains the same
Are they still good for just Personal listening?
Absolutely!
How would u rate the bass of these compared to beats studio? And if u haven’t tried beats them how would you rate the bass in general, I’m looking for a reliable pair of Bluetooth headphones (m50x come in a Bluetooth version now) that deliver heavy but also natural bass, any suggestions??
The bass is definitely emphasized but not overpowering. I would recommend these over any pair of beats. These are less flat than the other headphones in the ATH series line and will not disappoint with there bass performance. Thanks for watching!
Erickson Films I gotchu man thank you
Crazy how im looking up reviews and see audient lol im using the id14. Hoping I did right by buying these for mixing til I treat my room.
In my book, these are the best. I am using the original M50's, which came out a long, long time ago, before 2010.
I am using them with my Creative Sound Blaster Z sound card, and i adore them in every way. Music, gaming, everything is so nice!
That is awesome! Really glad they are holding up for you. Thanks for watching :)
@@EricksonFilmsYT well, the model itself came out before 2010, i am using them since 2015. Still, they are holding up like new!
can't believe that these pair of cans are already old
It’s crazy I know
The fact that i havent found better headphones that is as well received, high quality and as low priced as this is just speaks on how amazing this is. Just broke my AKG K67 after 3 weeks of use. Never gonna get another AKG anymore
@@mongi4015 the k67 was a bad headphone t beginn with. Not representative of akg at all. Hence it's no longer produced.
Thank one for sharing.
1:55 honestly i prefer headphones that clamp tightly. It makes them sound better, and for *me* ive found it to be more comfortable in a way. Of course I only recently started using glasses so that may cause discomfort. If it does I know replacing the ear foam can help that.
Looking for an external dac, amp ect. Creative soundblasterz is acting funny so I removed it. I miss music!!! Using my s9 phone lol
The Fiio Q1 Mark 2 is a good Dac/Amp for the price as well as being relatively small. Or there has been a lot of positive talk on the ES100 module. However we have not tested the EarStudio ES100 yet so I can’t fully speak on its behalf. Those are just small cheap portables, if u want something bigger and for the desk feel free to ask.
These are the best ever
Should I get these or the m40x's for music?
depends on your preference. If you prefer a more punchy, colored sound get the m50x. If you prefer a flatter, more accurate sound get the M40x. Check out our review of the M40x here! ua-cam.com/video/OCNseHUKQHU/v-deo.html
Anson did a fabulous job with the film!! Looks great guys!
He sure did. Thanks for watching!
Good review 👍
thanks!
Fix your posture
I absolutely agree! I’ve been working on strengthening my back and getting out of the habit of slouching. I’m about 6’2 and was always taller than other kids when I was younger so I got used to slouching. I’m trying to unlearn that bad habit

Beste preis leistung Kopfhörer die ich je hatte! Every day headphones! Trage sie fast jeden tag und geh nicht zimperlich mit ihnen um.
Jetzt, nach 4-5 jahren löst sich langsam das schaumstoff cover ab und ein klinke stecker (1 kabel von 2) ist abgebrochen. Bin gespannt wie lange sie noch halten :D
Already bought the headphones (actually listening to the video with them) so it's a shame I couldn't support you. Not gonna sub because I don't frequently care about audio quality (only when I'm buying them which is once every few years) but I'm glad you were there when I wanted to reassure my purchase. If there's a way I can pay you a few bucks just for the effort and education please let me know. Many thanks either way.
Really appreciate you watching the video! I am glad the video was reassuring to you. These are great headphones. I have a direct PayPal if you’re interested www.paypal.me/EricksonFilms
When i hear hip hop with this headphones i can get a massage for the top of my head for free ! Lol great 👌👍
Awesome 😎
does this headset require an amp?
no
I was glad you mentioned that they do squeeze your head, because they do, which does cause some unique fatigue that I never experienced before with other headphones. Also, I would say you might be incorrect with them in regards to editing. M40 ( who is a mixer/producer for OVO / Drake) prefers to use these when he travels and works, I use them for audio engineering also. Thank you for the content!
Yup! The squeeze is real. I suppose to each his own, and I have used them before to edit videos and it did the job. I just felt that because they are not particularly flat in their frequency response, they would not be very well suited for editing. Glad you’re enjoying them though! Thanks for watching :)
@@EricksonFilmsYT looks like they have a shelf boost around 200 khz & below, and a sharp little cut around 5k? Is that around what you found with them?
C E I have to admit my knowledge of audio doesn’t extend far enough for that kind of testing 😂 subjectively, I notice a bit of boost in the high end which leads to them at times sounding a bit sibilant. However, after a time I find that I get used to it
@@EricksonFilmsYT right on, I can agree with the high end sometimes too. Altogether though, a good pair of headphones. Keep up the good work!
C E thank you!
I have owned 2 pairs, and I found them to be very comfortable!. The sound quality was outstanding ! .The headset is well made but! Over time I broke both pairs just by reaching up to make an adjustment with a slight pull in a different area( not paying attention) and the head set broke while Applying lite pressure !. Apparently there is a weak point on these headsets and I broke both headset in a similar manner!.
Should i buy these or a gaming headset?
These headphones are so comfortable. I wore them for 4 plus hours and was reminded by the sight of the wire to take them off! Bass, midrange and treble are balanced. The soundstage is not very wide, but it is not confining. I could hear details in my favorite songs that were easy to miss with other head phones. Could the highs be tighter? Yes, just slightly. Could the bass rattle your skull a bit more? Maybe. Bottom line: if you like your music to sound balanced, these cans will be a great choice for you.
can you wear them all day tho, not for a couple of hours and have to take em off cause of an ear sore, that isn't considered comfortable
@@GG-zh9hd these headphones are actually terrible, these people never tried any other headphones, the m40x are actually much better, but the pads aren't great for both the m50x and m40x.
Are these blue tooth headphones
They offer a Bluetooth version
I know this video is a year old but are the headset good for gaming? Anyone..
Yeah, I would say they work well for gaming 👍
@@EricksonFilmsYT Awesome and thank you for the reply. Been dealing with Turtle Beach Stealth 700 but I need to make the jump to other headsets. Wanted to compare them. If you don't mind me asking. Can you hear footstep in gaming for example on Destiny pvp game? Or I mean detail sounds.. Thank you in advance sir.
Kal-El KilleddaBAT hi! Funny enough, we are actually planning a video comparing high quality gaming headsets. These are the ones I would recommend Cooler Master MH-752 MH752 Gaming Headset With Virtual 7.1 Surround Sound, Plush Earcups, and Omni-Directional Boom Mic www.amazon.com/dp/B07JH4R6ZT/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_fOwVEbZJXGMJG they are cheaper than the M50x by quite a bit, sound great, are comfortable, and actually have a pretty decent microphone! Cooler master also has other options at different price ranges if I remember correctly
no soundstage is narrow ,hyperx much better for gaming
The ATH-M50x is the best all-rounder headphones. If you consider all aspects: price, performance, type (closed-back), low impedance, build quality, endurance, portability, sound (all genres wise), convenience - you really can't find anything better.
Surely you can find a better one in any single category but as a whole package (and if you want to use only one pair of headphones) you can't really beat it - it's a true classic!
They are pretty fantastic! To be honest, after using the M40x for a while I began to prefer those but I feel the M50x are better built. Also, sound quality is hugely subjective if I’ve learned anything from these reviews. Thanks for watching!
I just bought these headphones.. they sound good, they’re not as dramatically better than my Apple EarPods, I was expecting to hear something I’ve never heard before but that wasn’t the case. there’s way more treble than my EarPods though and an accurate bass but the treble is a lot. great for listening but not so flat in that department.. but mixing is great as far as moving sound nobs, and don’t let anyone else say otherwise, but the treble is so high, it makes indie music sound like heaven but im still getting used to mixing my music having to make the treble stand out way more than I would’ve on my EarPods, also the loudness is extremely accurate, nothing is all the same loudness, there is no bass boost, however the song was intended to sound is what you’re going to hear, they can get extremely loud but also really quiet compared to other headphones, I can’t say they’re the best mixing for the price but they’re definitely better than my 30 dollar EarPods for what I do lol
great dj headphones.
I laughed, I cried, what an experience
😅
I finally tried them recently after my dt 970s kicked the bucket. I honestly didn't like them. No soundstage, bass is nice but a bit overpowering. Mids are recessed, and overpowered by the bass. Highs are a little much as well, they are V shaped after all. Definitely not the clarity I was expecting. I returned them and now waiting for the HD58X jubilee. Hope that one is more down my alley.
Haters are always going to HATE and that's a fact of life to be honest.
