Great sound quality but extreme clamping pressure Jul 07, 2010
Great sound quality. The only gripe I have about them is that I can only wear them for about 30 minutes until my ears start to hurt because they are very tight. Maybe it's the padding but I would lean more towards the clamping pressure that causes the pain and soreness. I have an average sized head so I'm sure others have experienced the same thing with these. I think they are great phones as far as sound quality goes. Maybe they are so tight so that the noise does not travel. They are very good at not producing noise pollution... I'm not sure what the technical term is for that but I can turn them up very load and the music wont radiate to those around me. Would I recommend them? Yes and No, I would do some Google'ing on the comfort level of the phones you are looking for. It doesn't help very much if you have great headphones (sound quality) but can't wear them for more than 30 min whiteout getting irritated from the pressure. I've owned chearp head phones that haven't caused this problem (Creative HN-700. Great headphones but are discontinued)
ATH-m50 Headphones Jun 27, 2010
Overall I'm very pleased with the headphones. Great frequency response and superb clarity. Plus I use these in an office setting and the closed-ear design keeps others from being annoyed by my music. Researching these prior to purchase, I was unsure if "studio headphones" were too "flat" or if they would provide an enjoyable listening experience from an MP3 player, but they work great and are by far the best sounding cans I've ever purchased.
The construction is very solid, which for me was an important factor, and they are comfortable to wear for hours on end. I would recommend these to anyone looking to step up their listening experience without spending a thousand dollars. Great product. Oh, one final comment. Be advised that there are two versions of this headphone model: one with a straight cable and one with a coiled cable. The coiled cable version is actually only coiled for the last foot or so of cable near the headphone jack, not the entire length.
Accurate and amazing Jun 24, 2010
I don't want to write a long review with lots of details concerning my experience with Audiophile headphones and how they compare to this set. Plenty of other reviews have been written like that on this page and if you want the details go to them (not that those types of reviews aren't necessary, indeed reading those reviews is what led to my purchase of these headphones and they were correct). I'll sum everything up in just a few sentences. The headphones are well-rounded and precise; just what you would expect from a studio monitoring headphone. The bass is present and not invasive. Some could perceive the headphones as "lacking" in bass but they are probably the type that would turn the bass up on just about everything. The highs are reproduced with finesse although on some songs I've realized a slight cutoff on extreme highs. This is more than likely my source rather than the headphones themselves. I will echo a previous reviewer and say that these are definitely monitoring headphones and will not COLOR the sound in any particular way. All in all, probably one of the absolute best deals you will find for a set of headphones of this quality.

Thank you Audio-Technica for bring the joy of Music back to me Jun 20, 2010
They are so good I cannot ****ing believe it
This has been my experience. I started out looking for a pair of noise-cancelling headphone to block out the noise of people that insisted on talking while I took practice MCATs. I wanted good sound, I wanted over-the-ear and I wanted a cheap pair. I did my research and decided - incorrectly - that the headphones I should get were the Sony noise-cancelling (Sony MDR-NC60). My budget was around 100 and they did a good job blocking out a great deal of loud noise ... but, as headphone, they were awful... i mean I spent 100 dollars and I have had $10 logitech speakers for PCs that sounded better. So after more research, it seemed like every pair of headphone below $300, noise-cancelling or not, had some "cons"....
every pair except the ATH-M50s ... near perfect reviews on every website, forum, critics review...
but they were not "active" NC. I took a gamble.
I found that they blocked out enough noise to be useful on their own (active NC headphones vs these are comparable in lowish noise environments - which is good because I was blocking out student chatter in a library not sitting next to a lawnmower)
They are comfortable, big but not heavy, have a long lead, come in a soft carrying case, with a 3.5mm to professional jack converter.
But the reason that I write this review is to tell you that I have never heard such a good reproduction of music. I mean Dr. Dre's headphones are beaten by these... for the first time in years I am listening to music, not to change my mood, have in the background, but just to listen to music. Techno to 70s Rock (but not country... cuz that is crap no matter what headphones u have) everything is enjoyable.
Oh, and I heard the sound gets better after you "burn them in," im not 100% sure what that means but I think it means that the more you listen to them the better they get.... I really don't know how they will get better but I guess I'll just have to wait...
Buy these phones! Jun 13, 2010
I am not an audiophile but these phones sound incredible! You will feel like your are listening to your favorite songs for the first time, and it is a sublime experience. You won't confuse the base for a decent sub but being headphones it's pretty damn good.
