I just got these today! They are the definition of AMAZING! Just a quick note, i have read alot of people have tried to run this through windows 7 through a standard sound card, i did the same and the volume is not loud enough (well not for me). Luckily i have a 5.1 set up too right next to me so i plugged into the amp and all i can say is wow! I have never heard such clarity in my ears before. I listen to alot of house music and believe me the bass is not compramised what so ever! 10/10
I'm selling my beats and gonna buy these. Plus, I'll have some money left over :) I love that it doesn't have leakage! When I bought beats, I didn't know anything about other headphones. I bought them cause of style.. They take way too damn much batteries, and they are so loud at 50% volume in terms of leak which I don't like.
Are these good on an iPod Touch 4g without an amp? I heard these are reallly good, but with mp3 players (I hate to say this) beats studios would be a better choice. But I want something as good as or better than beats for ipod use on the bus and at school.
@djjayd12 This depends, on the type of music you typicaly listen to. A basshead would likely find the bass in these to be too light on the bass(i currently boost the bass on mine when listening to alot of bassy music). Although when i listened to Pink Floyds Dark Side of the Moon i found the bass to be very impressive.
While i boost bass from time to time there is definatly bass in these headphones, they are often described as bassy, it just depends on your style of music.
@djjayd12 They have very Defined Lows, they kick in when they should and extend very deep, for hiphop I find these great. You have that addictive bass drum kick, and still you get the clean vocals. Also for music such as reggae these are so amazing you wont believe it. You will find at the start the highs to be a bit sharp and maybe not that great but after the Burn in period, the Highs definitely become super crisp and not overwhelming.
@MrLoveStarcraft Could be two things. 1) They have drivers that need a bit more juice in order for them to put out their normal output. Some headphone need to go through a preamp in order to get a good sound out of them. An iPod does't have anything near a preamp fyi. 2) You should get you hearing checked if you are concerned about your hearing. Do you have similar problems with other sources or ringing in your ears? If so definitely get them checked. I'm betting it's the first thing though.
@nightowl217 I am confused between ATH-ws55i , ATH-m50 , Shure 840s .I listen to all genres of music but more inclined to metal and rock.Which one to go for? Also do I need amp to any of above work?
@ishthefish519 The ATH M50 will beat the AE2 and the Beats in both of those. Looks... while i personally love the looks of the M50s, there not very flashy. So if you want looks, get Bose, under no circumstances should you buy the Beats, they sound like GARBAGE. The M50s though, will sound light years better than the beats or the bose. Hope this helps!
@jaodff These have a very different sound then Grado's, Grado's usually are associated with rock, while these are more of an all-rounder. Grado's are open to, so they have a much wider soundstage. These will have better bass, but not everyone likes that. I would say yes, these are a huge step up from the SR60s
Hey guys I have little to no knowledge on headphones but from what I can see this is definitively the best there is. All I really want is something that keeps all the noise out. Would this be the best choice?
@MysteriousStealthMan coming from a guy that has never owned Beats right? My M50s are awesome for production, but it would be hard to find a better earbud than Beats Tour.
@sfgfan09 Do not get the hd558s. Don't. Please, save yourself the time and just don't buy 558's unless you want a headphone that sounds worse than the HA-RX 700. I'm not saying the 700's are bad, they're not, but the 558s literally sound exactly the same but without the great bass on closed headphones. In fact, I'm returning them right now, very disappointed.
Not worth it.
Instead, check out sites like head-fi, they typically know their stuff about phones.
@hornet579 Dont listen to this guy he knows nothing , the hd 558 is is the best headphone in its price range and the 2nd best audiphile headphone from 2010 - 2011 .
@j300a "Best" is relative, and heavily depends on one's own musical taste and sound signature preferences. The HD558s are very great headphones for the price, but they're not the end-all "best" at that price range. Depending on your tastes, the AT M50s, AKG K240 Mk IIs, Ultrasone HFI 580s/780s, and Beyer DT770 are all worth looking at.
@r31ncarnat3d Hey man, you seem to know a lot, what would you recommend me for Rock, Pop/Rock, alternative rock? (ala Beatles, Oasis, Portugal. The Man0, I'd appreciate your help! =D
@ThaRolk yay! a beatles fan like me! ^^ Yes, they will sound good for rock, they are a very versatile headphone, doing a good job with most all musics. But, i think a even better sound (for rock) is the Grado SR80i.
just ordered these! I hope they are as great as everyone says! Using them for a studio aatmosphere and reviews say they are the best, check out my stuff and let me know what you think!
OMG! JUST OH MY GOD! I JUST GOT THESE TODAY AND WOW I WAS LITERALLY BLOWN AWAY! THE SOUND IS LIKE PERFECT!!! THE BASS IS JUST RIGHT AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS JUST GREAT A MUST HAVE!
ALL I NEED TO DO NOW IS REJECT THE BEATS SOLO I ORDERED BEFORE WHEN UPS COMES DELIVER THEM :D BUT PEOPLE GET THIS HEADPHONES! THEY ARE WORTH EVERY SINGLE CENT!!!
(the cable mine has is different than those tho...)
Okay, ive been looking at the sony xtra bass headphones (the 500 and 700 models). I heard they have bad leak and i stumbled across these, and I thought these would be really nice. I listen to rap, dubstep, alternative and pop/hip hop and some rock. Would these headphones be good for me? How are the lows, mids and highs? that is VERY important to me. Also, are these good for ipod and computer music listening, also with movies and video games, but mostly for music. Thank you!!
@NCorrigan2014 These are very versatile headphones, and have a very flat response. (meaning that the bass, mids, and treble are relatively balanced) For ipod listening, get a Fiio E5 to go along with them. (can be found on google for around $20) For videogames, they are not the best, but sound better than most. Hope i helped!
I'm a big music listener, and lover. I have beats solo hd's. They're pretty good. I don't do music editing or any of that but I love listening to music in good quality. Should I get these even if I'm only gonna listen to music on my ipod and computer and stuff with them? Somebody please reply.
@gangsterbaby2 ok, i REALLY RECOMMEND this headphones. a great all purpose can. i have the akg k242 hd for rock and "real" music, and for electronic, hip hop, etc i use sony xb700 that i don't like very much :/ plus i bought the beats tour and they are the worst thing i've ever done. so now i want these but i have no money ahah. i've read a lot of review about these and i recommend them to you
I want to purchase these I am 5' 11" with an average sized head. I keep reading reviews that these are uncomfortable especially the headband not having enough cushion is this true?
@yousellouts that's the best hater rubbish I've ever read about these headphones. I got them myself and you can keep dreaming about a c0?k coming out of your headphones.. sersiouly these are really comfortable, they might warm after one hour and more but it isen't a nuisence. It is a lot of space in them, or not a lot but they fit your ear perfectly. You say they fell horrible under your ears? Then adjust them you dork.. there is also good bass in these, not to much and not to little.
@ReMarig00o i have adjusted them and they feel much worse, plus i don't hate these headphones, they sound fantastic but the comfort is like torture for my head.
@yousellouts Sorry I might have sounded a little mad but, if something is touching your ears inside the earpads you really should get them checked.. they should NOT do that!
Not only have you wasted my time by calling this a review, you then have sent me insulting communications containing swearing and personal assault. I stand by what I have said, this is not a 'review' and any disclaimer that you are not an' expert' just goes to suggest that a proper title should be a person with little knowledge, just showing us his headphones with a disclaimer that he is prepared to use gutter language to defend his untenable position via email. I shall be informing Youtube.
I'm about to buy headphones over ears should i buy these or beats studio AND Don't give me fanboy BS i want a real comparison on sound quality nd noise cancellation
@ianbar20 lol calm the fuck down, what wud u say if I told you i already have the beats pro's studios and and solos and ear budz and other $500-600 dj headphones already? and yea apple copied to bad its not copy righted or it wudda been reject when uploading according to new youtube policies
@limewireb These sound light years better than Beats, especially for any variety of music. (aka not just modern rap, dubstep the like) Also, the Beats noise cancellation is quite sub-par, and adds a slight hiss to the music.
@NoKreativeUsername Have you tried them? Dude lets see some shit maxell $2 headphones... huh those suck. BEATS STUDIOS DONT SUCK. you're just not able to afford stuff
@JimmyJones They're fine but the problem most people who criticize it that actually know what they're talking about is their ridiculously low price:performance ratio. They'd be a pretty good purchase if a lot cheaper, but that's just what happens with celebrity products.
I heard a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre Solo at a hi-fi store and i kinda enjoyed the vibrating/tickling sensation around the ears whenever the bass were booming.
You mention that the sound is pretty flat with the M50's, but does the ATH-M50 give same vibrating bass effect around the ears?
I'm looking for a pair of headphones that gives a nice vibrating bass, but without overpowering the high and mids.
@MrMathiasBertelsen the focus of m50 is to produce the most natural and accurate sound as intended by the source (for its price) . if u want a specific sound profile/signature for a headphone, (extra/wide bass/ etc etc..)
I have a question: Purely based on overall sound quality and effects, which one is better Beats by Dre, or ATH-M50, or maybe sth else? Please do share with me.
Good review. Can the M50s get loud without getting distorted and making little "bzzt" sounds when the speakers can't handle it? I have a cheap pair of headphones right now and they can't handle anything over 50% volume on my laptop without the right speaker making weird and short buzzing sounds at certain points as if they speakers can't handle the sound. I just want to know if these can be listened to at loud volumes without breaking them.
@andrewshooter ive had these for about a year and i love them. they can go as loud as you want them. i dont know when they distort because the level they distort is over my pain threshold so you arent going to have a problem. you wont be dissapointed with these, good luck
Just got a pair of these for £55 new. And my god do they sound amazing. Burnt them in for 3 hours on some deep drum and bass and it made such a difference. Much better than my Logitech G35's, even for bass! Don't know why I've read that the bass on these is bad/quiet.
@jayboy81101 Word to the wise...DO NOT buy headphones or anything else from that company, fashionable designers folding ath 50's. They're fake. If you read the frequency specs, impedance, etc. they're clearly not the same as the Audio Technica ath m-50's. Also, there are a lot of chinese, indonesian, etc. companies making Beats by Dre headphones that look almost identical but sound even worse than the originals. Just a heads up.
Best headphones in the whole world real talk. been waiting a month for guitar center to get them back in stock. finally i can take these weak ass krk kns 8400s back were they belong. in guitar centers storage room.
You don't need an amp for these to sound good. They will sound better with an amp, but every headphone does. These headphones are perfect for someone just getting into real audio and work being plugged into anything and sound good. They can be used to DJ, monitor, or use portably.
@saallyy13yeah,,,i use an iPhone :) and as my local dealers say they were really built for apple devices,:) so yeah,,i use them for like goin to school,,having a walk,and they are worth every penny :) also sounds pretty good :)i bought mine at a PowerMac store so i guess they are good,. :)
@umpalumparcool yeah,,I recommend them for everyday use,me and my friends just bought this type of headphones,,we use them when we are bored and is worth it,, :)
@elsapomasguapo Many other people that make music have a soundcard that only put out signal in the "jack format" so to speak, so they use a mixer of some sort to control their volume, and that mixer only have a jack output and not a mini-jack output. This is a pair of headphones that is geared toward producers and hi-fi enthusiasts.
@GMODCREATOR Apparently all headphones don't sound as good out of the box as they could be, if they were burnt in with noise. Think of it like seasoning a steak; you could cook it normally and it would taste alright. Or you could season and marinate it for a day or two, and it would taste fantastic!
@DynamiteDerek - hey, im a student in college and i am currently looking for a headphone that also reduces/cancels noice from a noicy environment when the you put it on, like when you put on without playing music. will this work for me?? i would appreciate if you can answer my question.
@Ebonicz07 these headphones use passive noise isolation. This means that they use their seal around your ears with the music to block out any noise. I have not heard these yet so i do not know the extent of their sound blocking. What i do know is that this is the preferred option to active noise cancellation. This is because active noise cancellation ( Beats have had a half-hearted attempt at and Bose do very well) compromises sound quality, not too much though. Bose=good=noisecancellation
do these leak, i listen to heavy bass i want a pair of studio headphones with minimal leakage so others around dont have 2 hear what im playing would you recommend these?
@Doobadoobas hey that's what my wife always tells me!! Sorry I was drunk when I wrote that. Skullcandy really is veal though. I've had skullcrushers and they sucked balls. I was serious though when I said skullcandy has a pair of headphones that are designed like these but the skullcandys probably sound like shit compared to these.
Listening to this with my shit skullcrusher lol please no hate I realized my mistake with these garbage skullcandy headphones, sound distortion and the bass is a vibration wtf, and then of course my bass stopped working altogether so now they're just normal heaphones.. Can't wait to get the M50s can anyone recommend bassy headphones 100-150 dollars don't want too spend too much
the adapter is for djing...

@yousellouts that's the best hater rubbish I've ever read about these headphones. I got them myself and you can keep dreaming about a c0?k coming out of your headphones.. sersiouly these are really comfortable, they might warm after one hour and more but it isen't a nuisence. It is a lot of space in them, or not a lot but they fit your ear perfectly. You say they fell horrible under your ears? Then adjust them you dork.. there is also good bass in these, not to much and not to little.

Not only have you wasted my time by calling this a review, you then have sent me insulting communications containing swearing and personal assault. I stand by what I have said, this is not a 'review' and any disclaimer that you are not an' expert' just goes to suggest that a proper title should be a person with little knowledge, just showing us his headphones with a disclaimer that he is prepared to use gutter language to defend his untenable position via email. I shall be informing Youtube.

@limewireb These sound light years better than Beats, especially for any variety of music. (aka not just modern rap, dubstep the like) Also, the Beats noise cancellation is quite sub-par, and adds a slight hiss to the music.

I have a question:
I heard a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre Solo at a hi-fi store and i kinda enjoyed the vibrating/tickling sensation around the ears whenever the bass were booming.
You mention that the sound is pretty flat with the M50's, but does the ATH-M50 give same vibrating bass effect around the ears?
I'm looking for a pair of headphones that gives a nice vibrating bass, but without overpowering the high and mids.
Please respond, thanks!
MrMathiasBertelsen 4 months ago
@MrMathiasBertelsen the focus of m50 is to produce the most natural and accurate sound as intended by the source (for its price) . if u want a specific sound profile/signature for a headphone, (extra/wide bass/ etc etc..)
the m50 is not for you.

Profoundsoup 5 months ago
Good review. Can the M50s get loud without getting distorted and making little "bzzt" sounds when the speakers can't handle it? I have a cheap pair of headphones right now and they can't handle anything over 50% volume on my laptop without the right speaker making weird and short buzzing sounds at certain points as if they speakers can't handle the sound. I just want to know if these can be listened to at loud volumes without breaking them.

@andrewshooter ive had these for about a year and i love them. they can go as loud as you want them. i dont know when they distort because the level they distort is over my pain threshold so you arent going to have a problem. you wont be dissapointed with these, good luck

Just got a pair of these for £55 new. And my god do they sound amazing. Burnt them in for 3 hours on some deep drum and bass and it made such a difference. Much better than my Logitech G35's, even for bass! Don't know why I've read that the bass on these is bad/quiet.

@jayboy81101 Word to the wise...DO NOT buy headphones or anything else from that company, fashionable designers folding ath 50's. They're fake. If you read the frequency specs, impedance, etc. they're clearly not the same as the Audio Technica ath m-50's. Also, there are a lot of chinese, indonesian, etc. companies making Beats by Dre headphones that look almost identical but sound even worse than the originals. Just a heads up.

You don't need an amp for these to sound good. They will sound better with an amp, but every headphone does. These headphones are perfect for someone just getting into real audio and work being plugged into anything and sound good. They can be used to DJ, monitor, or use portably.

@elsapomasguapo Many other people that make music have a soundcard that only put out signal in the "jack format" so to speak, so they use a mixer of some sort to control their volume, and that mixer only have a jack output and not a mini-jack output. This is a pair of headphones that is geared toward producers and hi-fi enthusiasts.

@GMODCREATOR Apparently all headphones don't sound as good out of the box as they could be, if they were burnt in with noise. Think of it like seasoning a steak; you could cook it normally and it would taste alright. Or you could season and marinate it for a day or two, and it would taste fantastic!

Ebonicz07 4 months ago
@Ebonicz07 these headphones use passive noise isolation. This means that they use their seal around your ears with the music to block out any noise. I have not heard these yet so i do not know the extent of their sound blocking. What i do know is that this is the preferred option to active noise cancellation. This is because active noise cancellation ( Beats have had a half-hearted attempt at and Bose do very well) compromises sound quality, not too much though. Bose=good=noisecancellation
