I have two reasons for headphones. One for my Ipod classic that I plug into a Schitt headphone amp and one for my Orbit Turntable I run through my NAD 3020I. I have some AKG's and another pair of Audio- Technica's that cost under a $100. I wanted something better than what I had and the ATH-M50's accomplished that. Better sound stage and more volume than my other two. Where they feel short was on the accoustic end. On older LP's like Stevie Nicks, Van Morrison, Eagles etc. they did not hold a candle to my older open back Grado's. But, for the money, a good set of headphones. Very comfortable to wear and all the other features with plugs etc was a good bang for the buck. So, for me, good but not great

Oh, the pressure. That's an easy feeling to have when this headset goes on (unless you're a pinhead). And there's no guidance -- in the instructions or online -- about how to adjust them. It took a message to Support to learn that, yeah, ya gotta bend 'em: put your thumbs in the middle of the headband and pull outward with your fingers. That's not exactly a commendable feature; not the way a ratcheted slide in the middle of the headband would be. My guess is that that feature exists... if you want to pay a hundred dollars more... but I admit I didn't check what's available on higher-priced models.

Very nice sounding headphones. Slightly warm with a little goose on the bass. These are not neutral. A lot of people consider them superior mixing and mastering cans. The ATH-M70x fits that bill more properly. Less coloring and very neutral. I run flac files through my DAC, into my Aric Audio fully balanced tube preamp and then into my headphone amp and these things sound spectacular for the price. Got mine for $92 shipped. Lots of people sell these in like-new condition.

Very nice headphones. The design makes it easy to use with one ear without wearing the headphones. It also sounds very good when just listening to music and not monitoring. Sound quality is excellent. Totally recommend.

I also have Sony MDR7506 and Sennheiser HD280 Pro. These ATH-M50x have the best sound by a good margin - percussion is especially good, small details of a complex mix come through clearly, and bass and treble are well balanced without needing any EQ adjustment. I've never tried high-end audiophile headphones, so I daresay if you spend twice as much there might be something better out there. But at about $95 lightly-used, or $130 brand new, these are really really good, and allow you to hear a lot more detail in whatever music you like.
