Solid & top quality headphones. I use these both for monitoring when doing location sound recording, mixing audio on my PC as well as general use listening on my PC and ipod/smartphone.

Works great all around. Love the heavy bass feeling from them.

Great noise cancellation. Would love a bit more for monitoring in noisy environments but I can't complain.

I love the connector with spring to avoid splitting/damage near the connector which is where I've typically had problems with other headphones. Expecting these to last me many years

Definitely recommend!

This product is a solid buy because of the nature of the headphones, they are well built and sound amazing. My problem with them is comfort because after 1 hour or 2 hours they become hard on the ears and uncomfortable because of how heavy they are. I would not recommend this product to anyone who has to wear headphones over a significant amount of time. Professional or audophiles be aware, this product is not comfortable.

This company is as good as any out there as the delivery was fast and the product, M50 headphones were brand new and just as described. Bought months ago and still love. Best bang for buck product without boomy, unrealistic bass.

According the the email I just got (which is the reason I am writing this review) I bought these headphones 6 months ago. These headphones still sound great and have no damage to them. I am no an expert on audio but I really enjoy the sound. Plus the price is perfect. I recommend people to get these headphones.

Clarity is great . Not overly bassy, which I like. I use these for gaming, TV and music. Blueray Apocalypse Now sounds great with these cans. Sound isolation is good. The only drawback is my ears get hot sometimes. Really happy I bought these.

Awesome sound for the $***...been listening to various head phone, haven't found one can come close for that price.

Used with a headphone amp ... sound even better. (one day burn in with the head amp). Long cord a plus and also great for musical instrument.

Nothing to complaint about.
I also own Sony MDR-V6, SkullCandy Aviator, BOSE OE.
All diff in sound ... Love the Skull but used the M50 most for overall balance.

You can't regret it, so buy it.

Pros : Sound great, look good, overkill when they are amplified!

cons : get warm after 4-6 hours of listening.

Forget about the Beats by Dr.Dre or the Bose QC15. If you want the best sound for a good price, get these. Good lows, mids and highs. Quality materials and looks amazing! ATH-M50 are the best headphones in the 100-500$ range.

These are phenomenal to say the least. A few of my buddies had Beats by Dre (all the different versions) and they don't even come close in terms of sound quality. These are the BEST sounding closed back headphones on the market! Don't over pay for other brands. These are, by far, the best! Very strong and durable.

For this price you have to be crazy to purchase any other headphone. To this day when I see people walking around the gym with their BEATS on trying to demo them for people while they leak horribly I laugh. If only they knew about these headphones that are half the price and twice as good. I prefer these over some even more expensive cans. Bottom line is if you are looking for a good pair of head phones buy these and be blown away when you put them to the test.

These headphones are phenomenal, the highs, mids, and lows are all fantastic! The sound is absolutely amazing. These are probably the best sounding, and most durable headphones I've ever owned! Believe me I've had AKG, Beats By Dre (WAY OVERPRICED DO NOT BUY), Sync By 50 Cent (Again way overpriced), and Soul By Ludacris (Better then then Beats, and Sync, but you can get way better for the money.) Let me tell you this, I have not heard a better sounding headphone that is a closed back design. This is the best you'll get in terms of sound quality with a closed back. The only headphones I own that sound better are the Sennhiser HD650. Which are 5 times the price of these. Overall, BUY THESE!!

Great headphones, easily out-perform headphones twice their price. Even though they are 'studio monitors', they have a great overall range; deep bass, piercing highs, mids aren't lacking at all. Comfortable to wear for hours, look good. If you plan on buying them just to use with an ipod or anything portable, a pocket amp will be required as they are power hungry.
