JBLoudG20 Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 Has anybody seen these? I kinda doubt it, but figured I'd ask. Something about them has been calling me for a while, now. They are 'studio' phones according to AT. Audio-Technica - Microphones, headphones, wireless microphone systems, noise-cancelling headphones & more : ATH-M50 : Professional Studio Monitor Headphones
Dusty Chalk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 I get a world map -- what region should I pick/search for?
JBLoudG20 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 they are marketed here in he us. And by 'seen' I mean heard, obviously
grawk Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 don't you dare mention w5000 with those good headphones
hYdrociTy Posted August 1, 2008 Report Posted August 1, 2008 THE W5000 IS GOOD HOW CAN ANYONE NOT LIKE A CLOSED WOOD CAN THAT ACTUALLY SOUNDS THIN? ITS LIKE HOW WHEN YOU SEE SOMETHING UGLY YOU CANT STOP STARING
JBLoudG20 Posted August 1, 2008 Author Report Posted August 1, 2008 when/if jinp pays me, I'll give them a shot.
JBLoudG20 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Posted August 7, 2008 So they definitely have a 'studio' sound to them. More linear than the other AT's I've had in the past. No real glaring faults, as yet.
Dusty Chalk Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 That actually sounds appealing. How much were they? Where'd you get 'em from?
aardvark baguette Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 Looks like it would get kinda warm. How well do they seal out noise?
JBLoudG20 Posted August 7, 2008 Author Report Posted August 7, 2008 Peter, I grabbed them off ebay from a local seller. They are out of them now, but I paid $105 shipped. I'll keep an eye out for you. RoadDogOnline has them for a decent price, too. They have a listing on ebay, and their own site. I also almost purchased them from The Twiser Group's website. I think they would have come in at about $115 shipped or so. Chris, They have decent isolation for a headphone. Better than my old VTG (I miss it so much, and coincidently if anyone has one, or knows of someone, please forward it along) but not as good as any IEM I ave tried. The bass has already opened up, but ths may partly be due to unfamiliar music. I'll put some more familiar stuff on next.
Dusty Chalk Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 No, that's alright, that was "for future reference". I haven't even picked up a pair of ATH-A500, yet...
aardvark baguette Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 I have to confess, I've been re-considering getting a certain ATH phone for my office.
aardvark baguette Posted August 7, 2008 Report Posted August 7, 2008 ouch. *checks wallet* Nope. Sorry.
