ATH-M50 vs AD700x

[I'm Batman]

first i apologize for making 3 topics in 3 hours

 

after all those topics i am kind of stuck between Audio Technica ATH-M50's and the AD700x's İ will be gaming and listening to music with them i know AD700x is pretty much better in everything except bass and bass is kinda important cause i dont listen to chill music and i am changing my current headphones cause they dont have any bass (astro A40's) is it worth sacrificing all those things for bass and getting a M50 or should i get a AD700x and have less bass and more comfort, better looks, better gaming...etc

 

 

thanks,

Get a DT990 instead. Best of both worlds.

That's a pretty big price increase.

Nevermind, I'm guessing you were mentioning the 250 Ohm Pro.

i ahve the ATH-M 30's, M50's a HD 555's all are great headphones, the H50's will get a hiss if you over power them, I use a Fiio E10 and with razer surround, I get a his, I do have a pretty hefty boost on them tho. The M50's are also VERy comfortable, i were them for around 8-9 hours a day with glasses on (Wire framed) and never get any pain!

I'd rather no one did not do that.

 

Get DT 990 80 ohm, if you get the 250 ohm you'll need an amp.

Get the ATH-M50's, I love my pair.

I have a pair of M50's and DT 990 250 ohms and both sound great. The 990 however are much more comfortable and I've been using it a lot more because of that and of course the better sound stage. However it's always nice to have a pair of closed headphones near by. Personally I'd go 990 unless you really need the better isolation

ATH-M50 owner here. M50's are just amazing, only con is the pleather ear cups, which makes my ears sweat after a while. AD700x is better for gaming, M50 is better for music. But you can make the m50's great for gaming if you enable Dolby virtual surround. It expands the soundspace.

you mean dt770 ?

 

@topic also , if you wear glasses , M50 might kill your ears.

I think you might be immune to pain because I can't stand the M50's for more than one or two hours straight.

They are actually

less comfortable to me without my glasses...

Have you considered something like the Sony MA900, open but with good bass, within budget and doesn't require an amp.

I'm listening to the ATH-500X right now and they have plenty of bass.
