Audio-Technica - ATH-M50x

Audio Technica M50x. Mine are 15 years old. They’re not listed as sweat proof, but they haven’t had issues.

I recently buy FiiO FT1, got a Audio technica ath-m50x and a Sennheiser HD 560S. Audio technica ath-m50x (closed) sounds good but the most discerning ears will notice that it has had its day and is getting old. He's still good. Sennheiser HD 560S (open) is really really good for medium and high but i love bass and he's "neutral" on this side, it's a solid choice. FiiO FT1 (closed) is a really good closed headphone, u need some days for appreciate it, bass is really good and clear, medium and high a bit under HD 560S but still really good, for me it's by far the winner here and it was the most confortable headphone i never have ! like .. really ! I cant imagine a headphone with medium and high from HD 560S and bass from FiiO FT1, that would be really amazing !!! Then again, it's a matter of taste and preference.

I use Audio Technica's M50X. It's similar quality, works well with mixers, cancels enough sound to matter, and it's usually 100ish during black friday. The only annoying thing is getting a replacement cable. The included cables are great, but the replacements you'll find are just not as good.

Well over ear and on ear are two different things, with over ear the pads touch the head area around your ears, with on ear the pads sit directly on your ears I recommend audio technica tag-m50 for over ear and sennheiser hd25 for on ear

Audio technica athm50 have a good amount of bass and really comfortable even for hours

\^ have both of these, can confirm. And not just for beginners.

Audio Technica M50x are what you’re looking for. Denon made some excellent headphones in this price range in the past too. But not sure if they’re still making them.

I can only recommend what I have and use as a producer. Mobile use -Sony 1000 xm4’s. In ear mobile use Airpod pro3. Producing closed backs- Steve slate vsx, audio technica m50x. Open back ( more holographic 3D sound) audeze lcd 2c( eq’d and paired with a headphone tube amp) and hifiman edition XS( not unveiled) . If you have never heard dnb on open backs you’re missing out.

I think it's worth mentioning that HD25s are on-ear and M50x are closed-back over-ear. I personally don't like the feel of on-ear headphones, but people frequently recommend both of these headphone models without mentioning this important distinction.

I like my Audio Technicas as well. I have the M50x. They're 3 years old and still work fine. I have needed to replace the pads and cords though. The aftermarket pads are even more comfortable than the stock pads. I have the wired ones specifically, no Bluetooth headphones will ever be BIFL because the batteries fail.

So kinda very stupid question, recently got a pair of audio technica m50xs and was wondering if wearing them with one ear off would cause them to stretch more than if I just wore them normally? I ask as my previous pair of headphones, a pair of arctis 1s got rather stretched out and would fall off my head if I wore them on both ears and looked down. Unsure if those got as stretched as they did due to me mostly wearing them on one ear (because some games I need to be able to hear the audio) or if it was predominantly (it very likely was) because when in a vc/party id put a different set overtop to hear friends with the other ear (said set is a klim puma with a really thin and flexible headband) Tldr will wearing m50xs on one ear stretch them more than wearing them normally?
