ATH-M50X : Brilliant!

Never again can I just listen to just any ol' pair of headphones. The ATH-M50X's sound great and if you're making your first step into getting better quality listening equipment, you can't go wrong with these.

They're are great for listening to a diverse range of music, watching movies/t.v. shows, playing video games, and even work well for producing music. They're colored in the Lows and Highs so I would recommend checking a mix across a few different output sources other than the headphones just to make sure that you're not being lead astray.

They're very comfortable, having very soft pads for your ears; and provide a pretty firm grip on your head. This does result in a bit of discomfort after having them on your head for over a few hours but the discomfort quickly subsides after taking a break for a few minutes.

I really like the selection of cables. The bag is great for holding everything you need whilst traveling, and the headphones themselves fold up into a compact unit.

I've owned these headphones for almost two years and never been disappointed while using them. I also have no desire to upgrade to anything else. At this price-point, considering the amount of use I've gotten of of them, they are an incredibly good investment.
