All user reviews of 4/5 for the Audio-Technica ATH-M50

Following a test published Audiofanzine on, I was tempted by this headset, there are more than 2 years.
I was pleasantly surprised by the overall result of this headphone that I have never done anything stupid when I used to mix small phases (hip-hop and electro mainly).
Since I use as the Ultrasone Pro 900, which renders really stunning but in terms of price range is much higher.
Personally, I have a special affection for the ATH M50, because frankly the value for money is execellent

BUT ... wound down regarding the durability of the materials used to design these headphones. Indeed BTE crumbled and I can change them using contours intended for another headphone because the contours of ATH M50 are not sold by the piece.
The erosion has now won the arch and frankly it's boring!

IN summary:

the +:
- Value for money
- Good overall record mixes (it can not make you crash)

the -:
- Durability of materials
- No possibility of parts


As I like to work some part of my headphone mixes I'll buy a new headphone that will Beyerdynamic DT 770 in addition to the Ultrasone Pro 900 provides that me because I like to switcher headphone appreciate the good and bad points of my mixes. I think that as far as possible to the top loudspeakers is to have a reference pair and another pair to compare.

The ATH-M50S are great for using while recording; they are very comfortable and affordable costing just over 150.00. The sound of them is clean and crisp but still giving enough low end to really feel the music while you are recording. I did not like using these to mix music with because I could never get a good mix with them. But if you use them for monitors while recording they will put you right in the middle of the music and give you that sound you need to excel behind the microphone.
The padding on the ear cups is truly amazing. They way that they feel sitting on your ears is so comfortable. I have not found many headphones that have ear cups this comfortable. The frequency range on these is also very good being at 15Hz-28kHz. Right out of the box you will get a 12 foot long cable which is perfect for reaching across your studio to the vocal booth. They also come with a ¼ adapter but it is standard 1/8. These closed circumaural headphones are perfect for your recording booth. You can even fold them up and take them with you anywhere. They do not come with a carrying pouch or case though which would have been a plus. I just used one of my Shure headphone cases for these and it held them fine. I have used a lot of Audio Technica headphones recently and these are one of my favorite ones they make because of the comfort level. They are not the best ones Audio Technica makes but with them being so affordable and comfortable you can afford to have a few pair of these in your studio. If anything where to happen to mine, I would probably by another pair right away. I am even thinking of buying a back up pair for when I travel.

I possde these headphones for over a year, and I take it everywhere with me. It is adjustable, but sturdy and comfortable (I spend journalists entires the cost at work). He is still in excellent state and works perfectly, and yet I'm clumsy!

When buying, I test more, and since I bought it I compared it to others, some much more onreux.

Personally, I love his low, flattering, farms and dynamic (they go down too low trs), its sound hot gnrale, its pretty sweet treble. It is easy to plutt cost you, even if it keeps certain analytical grade. I will not use it for studio work, I think it is too neutral for a. It is a better headphone monitoring costs only.

A headphone output quality he can honor the electronic on which it is connected. A headphone mdiocre, we feel the default of the electronics, but the sound will still be even honorable. It quite good with average quality records, some records that audiophiles headphones or monitoring slaughter without piti remain affordable with the headphone.

Its sound makes it compatible with current music (rock, pop, metal goods are trs), acoustic music shows nice as well. on the other hand, if the cost of major orchestral and symphonic music is honnte, it is not the height that you can have headphones with a little more neutral. The grain of certain instruments or voice tends to be a little attnu.

The report quality price seems good trs, and it's a choice I would do because it gives me satisfaction Entire j'coute the music with my hardware. I recommend it quite often.
