Is the AT-M50x really a better studio headphone than the Sennheiser HD600, HD6XX or HD650?
Even though the ATs are good value and ok for tracking (as they're closed back) the Sennheisers are so much better for mixdown/mastering due to their flatter response across the frequency range (apart from a roll-off in lower frequencies) and there's no comparison at all in the mid range.
Audio Technica and treble = poor joy!I have the Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee- Drop sells them cheap for a bargain - run them off a chord Hugo 2 from my PC - like them a lot.
If I want a bit more bass and fun - then I have my Philips X2 ( probably better than Ath-M50x for music )
see I can pick up the Ath-M50xMO - lantern glow orange for $130 USD at moment - apparently good casual - hardy, easy to carry and drive.
Had a number of Audio Technica Air headphones - great for female vocals - and fps ( don't play MMO ) - don't like the wing design. Wouldn't mind trying some of the expensive audio technica - for that sound with a fuller bass.
Currently have on HIFIMAN HE5XX Planar Magnetic Headphones- prefer them a little bit more to my Senns- but just- both great value- my DAC can easily drive them .
Probably only need a high end Audio Technical for treble - and a Focal for bass - don't need some super detailed HD800 or more expensive phones - happy at this level
Plus I prefer open back -more natural - plus can hear if one of my dogs want to go out ,or someone wants my attention
I wouldn't be that brutal - maybe just fond memories clouding my judgement - but would definitely need a listening test in future if I want to buy oneAudio Technica and treble = poor joy!
