Thinking of buying these. Read some reviews that sounded good. Anyone had any personal experience with these and if they would be good for mpc work? I want something that will allow me to hear evrything going on. Good production is important to me.

Never used them but they seem reviewed well all over and the price seems reasonable.

"15Hz-28kHz Frequency Response", unless you're an alien or something that covers the full range of human hearing in two directions and then some. :-D

I assume you mean the ath-m50.


They're awesome headphones. I have a pair, and I love them.
They just sound so clean throughout the whole audio range, lows, mids, highs.


The only thing I could complain about is the slightly inconvenient 11ft cable (or ~4ft for the coiled one, but that one's just ridiculous), but you can just twist-tie a loop out of like 5ft of it and it's fine.

That, and the pouch they come with, I wouldn't trust it to protect them. I got this case, here, and it seems to fit the m50s perfectly.

THANK EFFIN GOD. :lol:

the m50s are gonna seem amazing in comparison. and however good they sounded when you first got them, they'll only sound better once you've burned them in from use.
