    I use them for 5 or 6 years. headphones for farm, they have made exceptional highs. The ensemble is equilibrated trs. Never a musician complained. They cash in a lot of power. I'm even happy in my mixes rcoutant above. Trs enjoyable.
    Even when they have a terrible default: The plastic coating dsintgre after 5 years of careful use. It's annoying to have bits of black plastic Tranent on the ears and hair. Now that the price is lower, I would buy if I found a way to empcher to dsintegrer.

    As t is, this headphone really is not prcis in the extreme highs and besides that, essentially "touffquot; in the mediums.
    I think this is the fawn dpendre DSIR which we work, in my case I have a prfre her that "not forgive".

    I am not at all a connoisseur audiophile gear and everything.

    I bought this headphone for one purpose: I needed a hardware neutral to mix my DMOS and not have horrible surprises ds my music plays out of the silent my pc.
    Ing one's told me to take this headphone if I did not offer me the means to monitoring speakers.

    I do not know if this is the treble or bass that (in fact we do not care because it is a headphone intended to linear mix) but I know my mixes now spend on other channels without major surprises.

    This headphone is exactly what I expected and what I need. It is neutral and, in addition, cheap.

    I am fully satisfied.

    I bought this headphone on your advice because I wanted a headphone with a great sound (without going into the pro) and put no more than 80. This headset is absolutely gnial least for PMON use: the sound is really good trs (I have a minimum of exprience in the headphone) c eprix especially, I think it will have better qualitprix report. Be more comfortable, the headset cable reread my player (against two al poru most of the other models), it's been over a year I have no problem and I, it is nikel. So enough rsistante design I think. A signal that has a big jack.

    I use this headset for almost 6 months now and am quite happy with the sound in general.
    C "is a headphone with a frequency response of virtually flat with its range of 15 Hz to 22 kHz (if I remember correctly) refers to all the details.
    Small inconnvenient might be weight.
    Very good value for money
    I would do probably the choice if I find myself in the situation.

    Ct price for our studio quality good value prices
    we remake the same choice to use it given that we use for the drummer for the song, Beyer dynamic headphones is more to our taste ... you try too ... go to the shops ... Listen to the music and you used to hear through headphones DIFFERENT trs surprise you ...
    if we use the headphones to mix the album that is made only in parts To check up this instrument, but rarely, we prfrons mix with costs in this case of KRK trs are prcises report qualitprix sr there is still much more ... but there is no point acqurir a super nice thing thing if all your string is not cohrente of the beginning until the end ... I explain all of your registration will be Reduces string in quality by ... the weakest link ... Then see if you invest in a great headphone but one link as your microphone cable XLR-XLR or XLR-jack, compressor, mixer, equalizer, reverb, magnto ... amp and speakers is rotten everything is well on the ground because of the weak link prcisment ... rflchissez and vrifier ... you can significantly enhance your Global System if everything is at the same level, just like putting a super engine in a F1 car rotten at the first corner is anyone's guess, or as if you took an engine can and you put it in a formula that does not give much either ok if you need advice with our group Phaesis several years we have had time to see the pass and stuff we have acquired some exprience recording our own CD's and other groups ... good music and A +

    This headphone is simple as far as possible flat response ... (The "fs" in the ref at the time of purchase you remember?)

    Therefore:
    - No it is not flattering the ear ... it simply return the TRUE within the report quality price (no equivalent at the time of AC output)
    -If the headset buzz or as some say flatule is that you paste into it too much watts ... IDAL is a headphone jack for a Retailer (average volume so as not to flatter the ear with but REALLY work watt sound) if you destroy the headphone more or less short chance.

    by YES against the finish is cheap, the mine is in tatters after five years as

    I use these headphones for two months, monitoring return, his correct, proper insulation of the headphone, Jack 6mm Genial.
    In short a headphone that met my specifications and for cheap
    If I had bought a headphone for this use I would do the same choice.

    Jai pr command this headphone only 66th in nine thomann germany in 2004: o))
    I find trs robust, well done, mix spcial etc. ..

(notice of 'golgoth' seems a little "ledge" and drive less argument .. .. but what is more good, more "Sony" is not in Submitted the studio .. a pro Beyer if you put more or Sennheiser yes but l..)

    I re-post my impressions of the "bte" ds I use on my best EchoGina (sound card) or on my mixing console (Mackie vlzpro 1402) I will also test on my cha tite Sony does, etc. .. :

    - Done (2008, 2004 more!): APRS qq Annes, frankly, no complaints! I find myself making good, reliable headset, trs "round" as his soft, "FULL", good balance .. not too sharp, I find the cal fairly well respected, never had any worries grsillements (and yet I often listen hard enough) (but good if you swing the tecnho or treble, volume 30 a, maybe? me it rather rock ind rock, jazz, blues or classical, loundge or drum'n'bass, trip hop, electro rap, but most especially YOU CAN EVEN MIX THREE TIMES FIVE TIMES NOW IT IS ABSOLUTELY NOT THE EAR FATIGUE hyper enjoyable .. so .. not feel dtestable, type ears warm, or "to have full of cum" as with other headphones, bursting, after you are deaf limit (e), lol, and then was in a long session of work on something, god c is super enjoyable to have this audio technica !!!!!: o)

    * So: again! without worry. priori there is again ATHM 50. to see, so. for later, but me it is like new (myself am not used in recent months, but seems to fawn solid head).

    was about 4 months I use it. I use it for composing, arranging and mixing computer music programming on any style of music with an Allen & Heath console.
    I'm pretty happy. I find the sound fairly neutral and Fidler. I used several previously MODEL, AKG, Sony, Sennheiser.
    I find them strong enough which is a plus.
    For this price I will make the same choice.

    - How long have you use it?
    I use it for the past one week.
    - What is so special that you like most and least?
    + The price for a headset to make a draft of mastering effective.
    + Its position on the head
    + It is closed loosely head to my taste
    + Its definition sound is absolutely beautiful
    + A cable that looks strong enough (by pulling on it a little, just to see )

    - The finish is a little plastic
    - A unique piece 6.5 (have to buy a piece 6.5 / 3.5 for my sound card) But a good tip.
    - Have you tried many other models before buying it?
    Yes two low-end models and headphones Dj. So every time is not suitable for mastering. Because of this I was really amazed.

    - How would you rate the quality / price?
    It is his strong point as it is the only one in its price class. So the value for money is the best possible.
    - With experience, you do again this choice?
    Without hesitation.

    When I put the note a ten / ten. It's true that I have this headphone on a whim that was afraid of some opinions of the forum and by speaking of his lack of bass. But remember that it is a monitoring headphones, as the monitor speakers do not necessarily flatter listening. But thanks to this headphone my songs would end up much flatter on my stereo speakers ...

    I use it for a few days, but for many hours!
    I already had the Sony MDR-7506 which are to detect distortions in the treble.
    In M40 j'aimesles extended highs but sweet (as my old ears!)
    serious full but not overbearing, mediums present goods;
    I like the least bump around 1kHz: a bit tiring, the insulation is less effective than the Sony.
    The value is excellent, much cheaper than the Sony for a more balanced.
    If I need a third headphone, I would resume the M40.
    I give 9 / 10.

    It does not fold, doncencombrant carry.
    No mini-jack adapter included 3.5 (mean).

    It insulates well, without feeling of choking etparaitsolide (well built) just like the braided cable (which is a bit long)

    Excellent quality-price. A purchase that I would do it eyes closed! Unless I crack pourl'ATH-M30, cheaper, lighter (200g) and a bit less sturdy in appearance but with the exception of the close CHARACTERISTICS trs rponse (20-20000Hz) and Headphones least tench ... but also linear trs!
