If I were to reformat my hard drive, would I be able to maintain my Windows 10 license? I got the free upgrade a while back. I would be reformatting my hard drive using a media USB with Windows 10 loaded onto it. Thanks for any help or details.

Not sure where you got that from haha But thanks

I sort of assumed the ATH-M50x headphones weren't real monitor headphones anyways after reading up a bit on them.

If you say so.

Not going to sit here and argue with you buddy, sorry. I don't need to try to hard to defend my position or even conduct an argument because I've said all I need to. Truthfully, all you really need to do is make use of Google.

MONITOR HEADPHONES WERE BUILT WITH THE INTENTION TO BE FLAT AND ACCURATE. THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE. END OF STORY. AAAND...NOT ALL MONITOR HEADPHONES ARE CLOSED BACK. If the Audio-Technicas don't live up to the monitor headphone name then that's not my problem. Peace.

According to everyone. Monitor headphones are built with the purpose to be as neutral and accurate as possible. Monitor headphones have a very wide frequency response. Monitor headphones have a very flat frequency response. Monitor headphones have really low distortion. They aren't made to sound pleasing like consumer grade headphones, but rather to sound accurate and detailed. It's as simple as that. The headphones are built this way so that they allow an editor to know exactly what is recorded so that they can adjust sound to better suit whatever the artist, film maker, whatever, wants. Some people prefer the sound of monitor headphones, and plenty of others don't.

Sorry, but after having owned two different pairs of the HD 380 Pro and using a pair of my friend's (to whom I recommended them), I haven't experienced any issues with comfort on the HD 380 Pro. FYI monitor headphones were built with the intention of being flat and accurate as possible, and the term "monitor" does mean quite a lot. Whether this is a bad thing is up for the individual to decide. Audiophile has struck its own meaning as well. As for the "questionable treble", it's a bit more upfront than other pairs of headphones you'd hear, but it's still natural and detailed. The HD 380 Pro headphones are high quality, and there isn't really much to argue with on that point because they just are, for their price. $150 isn't bad. As for the Sennheiser Momentums being over-priced or over-valued, I have to disagree. They are absolutely amazing sounding headphones and they feel great too. They can hardly be called fashion headphones as they don't even look that great either. They just look...good.

If you want close-back headphones that maintain the same level of quality as open-back headphones, you should be prepared to spend a bit more. Actually, you should spend a bit more anyways because it's better to find a pair of headphones that will last you a long time and stay relevant than a pair of headphones that you're going to need to/want to replace in a year or two. Anyways, I would definitely recommend spending just a bit more money for this pair of headphones if you need a closed-back pair: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-Momentum-Black-Headphone/dp/B00AZZNXOK/ref=sr_1_1?s=aht&ie=UTF8&qid=1462768365&sr=1-1&keywords=sennheiser+momentum If you don't want to end up spending nearly $60 more, try and at least spend around $20 more for these: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-HD-380-PRO-Headphones/dp/B001UE6I0G/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1462768625&sr=1-2&keywords=sennheiser+closed+back If you're wondering why I'm exclusively recommending Sennheiser, it's because "Sennheiser quality is the best quality", put simply. They make absolutely outstanding headphones, to the extent that even their cheaper ones sound absolutely phenomenal for their price. They move the "entry level audiophile" environment down to cheaper prices so that everybody can enjoy what a nice pair of headphones has to offer. Oh, and they're super duper comfortable! I would absolutely recommend Sennheiser over any other brand! Their only issue is that they're a bit awkward when it comes to settling their price points.

It means exactly what I said, lol Different headphones are built for different purposes.

Once again, yeah, I know. Anyways, thanks. That was somewhat helpful. Now all I've got left is to figure out what the actual problem is from a list of a few possibilities.

...Dude, I know. Read my original post. I wouldn't say "a tiny bit higher" if I was talking about an 80MBps difference. Note I also typed "MBps" and not "Mbps". But as for the sender being the bottleneck I have the same results on every website I ever visit or download from. EDIT: Oh and I still have higher than 80Mb/s speeds.

Not exactly sure what that has to do with my previous reply whatsoever. Sorry dude, but that's pretty irrelevant. They're sub-150.

Results: http://beta.speedtest.net/result/5310524518 Basically the issue is in the title. I have fairly quick internet, and it should be completely fine for my purposes, but it doesn't seem to be so. My motherboard is an ASUS Z170-A mobo FYI Whenever I try to download something from Steam, my web browser, etc, it's usually 10 MBps on Steam and ~1 on my browser. The Steam speeds are sorta-kinda understandable, even if they should be a tiny bit higher, but my browser speeds are just downright slow. Also, I can't stream 4k playback smoothly. D:
