5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful headphones 7 July 2011
Colour Name:Black
I seldom review anything on Amazon, but I thought these headphones deserved the extra effort.

I'm a musician. I listen to and produce a lot of music. These headphones have a wonderful crisp and accurate sound. Although many people have mentioned that the bass is not particularly strong, this is because the M50s give you the closest thing to a flat mix that you can find. If the music you are listening to is not produced to be bass-heavy, it won't sound bassy. The really excellent thing about the M50s is that you hear as faithfully as possible the producer's mix (as close as you can get without speakers). On no other headphones have I ever picked up on so many fresh details in my favourite music. You'll hear things when using the M50s that you've never heard before. Any insufficiency in the mixing is blindingly obvious, weak mixes sound terrible, etc. but you also hear almost inaudible subtleties that really bring the music to life.

If you are looking for a bass-heavy headphone that's going to rattle your teeth, these aren't for you. Although the M50s can handle very heavy bass, you'll find yourself having to EQ it yourself. These also aren't for people who want headphones that are generous to all music.

These ARE for people who want to hear music as true to its production as possible. You'll find certain albums which are an absolute miracle (for me, Imogen Heap's 'Ellipse' - everything sounds in its perfect place and the result is mind-blowing) and you'll come back to again and again. As far as studio work goes, these are the best headphones you're going to find in this price-range. I mix on these all the time and have been extremely satisfied with the result, even listening back on my powerful studio monitors.

These are by far the best headphones I've ever used. The sound is very neutral and resembles high-end monitor speakers heard in near field conditions. They are very comfortable and isolate well. I found that other headphones, that are more expensive (Beyerdynamics and Ultrasone), colour the sound in the top and bottom ends. These are the closest to a flat response that I've heard yet. Also, the impedance is not too high and can be used with an mp3 player. Truly excellent -- they're worth more than the price.

By M. DVaz
Colour Name:Black
I've been very impressed with these things. I've been using HD25s and ultrasone Pro750s for years now, and had these for about a year. I havent stopped using the others, but these are now the headphones I reach for first in all but one circumstance.

Accuracy of sound. Pretty much the whole spectrum is there and no part of it struggles to be heard through these. They go very low, very high and are balanced in between. Very fast response, tight and detailed. I do actually use them for starter-for-ten rough mixing as I go, or even while mixing-proper in conjunction with my monitors. That might not sound like a big deal, but it is in fact HUGE for me. I've tried many times to mix with headphones and failed consistently. You lose track of levels, both of instruments and relative levels of different parts of the spectrum, way too easily, and with just the shear physics of getting low frequencies out of little drivers its really hard to get detail out of the low end. These have those problems, but much lesser extent than I've become accustomed to hearing in headphones, and so I do do some mixing with them.

The forgiveness/forgivingness of the sound is in the midrange. They can and will let some ugliness in your mixes slide past unnoticed in the mids and low end of the high mids. But for me to even get to that point in a desription of headphones is unheard of; I'm talking about mixing on headphones, here. That, for me is, one more time, HUGE. I've used headphones to place mics, I've used headphones to do the bulk of dialing in of guitar tones in isolation, to be fine tuned later after a check through proper monitors, I've used headphones as references and made itty bitty tweaks on them, I've but I've never sat and mixed with them for hours *with success*.

5.0 out of 5 stars I Never Knew Music Could Sound So Good. 16 Jun 2011
By mammoth
Colour Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
PROs:

They ooze quality. The feel, the way they fold, the carrying bag, the screw on 3.5mm to 6.35mm adaptor, the coiled cable, the ear pads, everything*. They sound exquisite too, I've never heard any headphones that sound as good as these and I suspect that unless I spend a LOT more money, I never will. The first day I got them I walked home 5 miles in the pouring rain instead of getting a cab, just so I could listen to some more tunes.

*almost, read on.

CONs:

The only fault I can pick, and it's something I knew about before I purchased them, is that the metal spring coil that hooks under the 3.5mm jack came out, so now it can slide up and down the cable at will. Annoying but not the end of the world. Also I look like a retard wearing them, but that's because I'm not cool enough to pull off the look in public. I mostly use them at home, at the recording studio and on long journeys.

OTHER BITS:

Unless you have a powerful enough MP3 player then you'll be wanting a headphone amp. I use a Meizu M6 which is just about powerful enough to drive them, but I also bought a cheap and cheerful Fiio E5 headphone amp which does make a difference for the better.

I am getting emotional talking about how great these things are. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
