ATH-M50X : Excellent headphones!

There comes a time in life when you feel as though a set of top quality headphones would be a sound investment, no pun intended. Inevitably every set of headphones will now be compared to the over-priced and aesthetically childish, Beats By Dre. Well, in my view they simply do not compare with Audio Technica's ATH M50xs. When purchasing the M50xs you receive headphones with an incredible level of clarity and a completely balanced sound that enables you to notice the most vague parts of songs, and fully appreciate every instrument without anything being too overpowering and harsh on the ears.

I use these headphones both for casual listening as well as using them for practicing through a guitar amp, which is facilitated by the interchangeable cables, which is an excellent feature and improvement on the M50s.

In terms of comfort, you quite frankly forget that they are even on your head, even after lengthy periods of using them. This is aided by both the cushioned ear pads as well as the foam top that adds extra comfort.

I highly rate these headphones, and would recommend them to any music lover looking for the best sound quality at an acceptable price!
