Audio-Technica ATH-M50S Headphone Review

 

Overall, the Audio-Technica M50s headphones represent a very good value for what they offer - an accurate, if lively, presentation of music.

Good isolation ; Linear bass response

Tight fit

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Amazing quality.

 

These headphones are some of the best quality that I've experienced. And for the low price that they are, they're a must-have for anyone that wants headphones. I'd 10/10 recommend them to someone looking for nice quality music

The only con I have would be the extremely long cable, which is eleven feet

Amazing.

 

I love these so much. I use them every day for nearly 5 hours at a time, and they never get uncomfortable. I'd give a 6/5 stars if I could.

Awesomely built. Great bass. Love them

Ear assault

 

After reading all the glowing reviews on youtube and amazon, I thought I would give these cans a try. For the first half an hour I loved these cans, I thought they were fun, engaging and detailed enough for my liking. Then my ears started to hurt, more...

decent amount of detail for the price, engaging sound signature

spiky, harsh and aggressive treble, boomy bass, no soundstage, uncomfortable stock pads

Bombproof and good-sounding headphones for a great price. Driven by almost any portable source, but prone to further worsen the sound from subpar DACs

 

I've been using these phones for nearly 7 years and, I think, I can first of all conclude some "long life" specifics of these earphones: 1) They are really bombproof. I've dropped them lots of times, sat on them, crushed them with a laptop in my...

Very solid construction (folding mechanism, cable and high quality plastic), clear and detailed bass, overall "driven" and "responsive" sound.

High head pressure, ear sweating, low quality vinyl in earcups and arch coating. Not for sound mastering (noticeable midbass and treble accents).

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

It's not awful, but it's nothing to write home about. I sent mine back.......

 

The highs and the lows are, for lack a better descriptor "dry". There are people who "like" this sort of leanness, but it's never sounded "real" to me. It's the difference I hear in vintage (dry)Teac/Tascam analog tape gear vs. the better Pioneer...

Nice Packaging, laid back mids and highs

Pretty much everything else

Rounding Three Years Usage

 

Level: Amateur Mostly Experience: First Personal Pair We can all agree it's been reviewed too much? Good. My turn please... I'm aware of the reputation these carry, how audio should sound to a newbie, and the relative price point for most people is...

Durable, Long Lasting, Great Beginner Set

First headphones, never forget these choice i made.

 

had these after my beats broke, was speculate about it if it was going to be better than the beats, i was right, they was far better than the beats. ever time i have friends who have there beats on , i told them to listen to them and then they ask me...

slightly bassy, Good mids, good lows, good detail

nothing just feel like its missing something on you on prefence, unless you upgrade to other headphones youll find what you prefer.

Consumer review (head-fi.org)

Very good sound, but theres so many better headphones. Very Heavy and a bit bulky

 

Worse then HD600, HD650, AKG 701, Ultrasone 780, HD595..So theres better. Its good for the price...Anything above 150 is getting very high.

Decent sound, good comfort

Heavy and bulky
