Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Studio Monitor Headphones  

Not much to talk about. the earcups are soft and comfortable

Block outside sound pretty well. Seem to be built well

Not too expensive or I wouldn't have bought them

They do what they are supposed to do

Comfy, sounds great, folds up nicely, coiled cable is something some people dont like but I like it compared to a super long straight cable, nice carrying pouch.

Mostly plastic, but seems sturdy enough, time will tell. I like how the cable is reinforced with a metal coil by the headphone jack.  The quality is in the sound they say, I am not much of a headphone guy so I cant make comparisons but I wanted what people are saying is the best and they are saying its ATH-M50. They do sound good to me.

I was originally going to purchase beats by dre, I figured since everyone was buying them they had to be the best.  I was happy to find out that these phones were rated as being better at about half the price

My first pair of headphones over $50. I can't compare it to anything personally, but I did a ton of research and if you do any bit of research yourself you will quickly see that these headphones are top notch.  They sound great to me, I use them daily working in a science lab all day, they are comfortable and fit well.  If i had to say anything negative about them I would have to comment about how it doesn't do the most amazing job cancelling out sound and you really have to turn up the volume to drown out background noise or if you like a truly immersive listening experience like i do.  I have a pair of in the ear headphones that seem to do a better job at cancelling out sound without having to turn the volume up too high.  It's not too bad though.

Nice feeling jack. Headphones, I don't know not too many features.

So, after trying many different types of headphones, these are quite nice. They are very detailed and people say after the "burn-in" they'll sound nicer. I can say after listening to them for an hour you certainly get more used to them and start liking them more.

First Impressions were that the bass was good volume but seemed a little muddy and not detailed. Which why some people are complaining that they are bass heavy when they most certainly aren't in my opinion. The mids are really nice. The highs seem to shrill a bit. It's all preferance. Though they do really sound nice.

For example for people coming from Senn HD280's you'll definately love these more.

They feel decently comfy, but we'll have to see.

The price could be better, but they are worth their money.

Overall, pretty good headphone for the price, surely you wont be disappointed.

The gold plated plug is nice, the screw on 1/4 plug is nice and pro status, it swivles more than anyone will ever need (except maybe djs). Cord's not long but plenty long for anything but recording in a studio.

Sturdy! and they don't weigh a billion pounds like so many say.     

Not crazy expensive esp if you shop around. if you want a sick pair of phones to listen to your electro then throw down 140 bucks for these. it's worth it.

The coiled cord is way too short. You'll need an extension cable sitting two feet away from where your plugged into. There is only a couple of feet of straight cord coming from the headphones and then it coils almost all the way to the end. It makes the cord too short to be used without an extension cable.

I bought three pairs of these just over a year ago because,  I wanted everybody in the band to be hearing the same thing. And they were great at first. We do a lot of late night apartment headphone practicing. Now one set is louder then the others, one set has a lack of low end compared to the others. The other night my lead singer was complaining that he couldn't here our keyboard player, and in my phones it was like a piano lounge I couldn't hear anything but the keyboard. And the third set sounds muddy, like theirs a blanket over them.

When after just over a year multiple sets sound so vastly different from each other. That's what I call an epic fail.

Avoid these headphones. In just over a year 3 sets all are bad. Not one of them sounds the same as the others. They might as well be 3 different brands of headphones.
