Audio Technica ATH-M50X $185.00 (Pick-up & Free Shipping) @ Addicted To Audio

180

Great headphones at a great price from a great bunch of people (Addicted to Audio). It may be a little cheaper overseas, but for local stock from a local store, I think this is a bargain.

Proprietary 45 mm large-aperture drivers with rare earth magnets and copper-clad aluminum wire voice coils ensure a pure listening experience. Isolating earcups swivel 90°. Collapsible design and included carrying pouch make for easy storage.

  • How would these compare with Beats
    https://www.jbhifi.com.au/headphones-dj/headphones/beats-by-…

    For a 17 year old girl here…

    • +8

      Sound quality: m50x
      Wank factor: Beats all the way

      • Just as I thought. Thanks

        • +1

          m50x are a fantastic set of cans, for what it's worth. You can also get their "special edition" annual release colour for more of a fashion statement.

        • @iMagoo: Thanks. :)

      If that girl is into fashion and stuff like that. Beats will do. Some people just like brand named stuff. If shes into music and likes to fiddle with all that audio thing with highs and lows and whatever Audio Technica is pretty fantastic.

      A lot of people hate Beats because it's an "overpriced rip off for idiots." but people buy Apples iPhones all the time for 1K+ and it's just a phone. Some people are just looks over functionality. Whos to say that's wrong?

        Thanks, the fashion is strong in this one, but so is frugality.

        She plays musical instruments in orchestras and etc, into sports and pop music too…
        Will probably end up with Beats against my better judgment.

        • You could ask fot her opinion on beats and go off of that response

          @Zeath163: Trying for a suprise.
          (((BEATS))) will most probably be more favourably received than an 'unknown' brand. Thanks.

      • I agree with the sentiment completely, but at the same time, an iPhone is a reasonable device for a ridiculous cost. Older Beats, on the other hand, scored worse in a series of frequency response tests than AliExpress replicas of the same headphone. It's the "Beats signature sound" but really miserable if you care about quality audio at all.

  • Lovely all round cans

    • Nice find, but unless you can pick-up, shipping costs makes Addicted To Audio cheaper. At least for the Black one :)

    I intend to post a deal on this headphones during 15% eBay events, but there is not enough quantity to be qualified for posting. Now, you can still use COZZIE (10% off) coupon code to get it for $179.10.

    • plus delivery. 😉

  • White maybe more fashionable.

  • Great headphones with good separation - you'll hear sounds and instruments you didn't know where in your music :)

        • +3

          Such sarcasm lol

  • Plus vote for being awesome people.

  • I'm watching for this, but unsure if this it's the lowest price. If I recalled correctly, this was ever $150 before. Should I wait?

    • The best price at the moment is $169.15 with CRAZY coupon code, don't wait!

      • +1

        was hoping to pay 175 or less for the headphones when i first saw this thread. happy i waited cause i just bought them for 170 via ebay with the CRAZY code :)

    • i wouldn't wait.. check out pricehipster for price history.

  • How is the sound quality compared to BOSE QC35?

    • Like compare ft86 to yaris.

      • What do you recommend if noise cancellation is not mandatory?

        • +1

          The m50x if noise cancellation is not needed.

          I have the QC25 (which I think are similar to the QC35) and the m50x, and I prefer these when I'm not needing noise cancellation for travel etc.

        • Depends on your budget.

        • @lovbargain: I already own ATH-M50X headphone and looking for an upgrade to QC35, but wanted to know is it worth to upgrade?

        • +1

          @aakash159:
          It is not an upgrading from M50x to QC35 if ANC is not mandatory, its downgrading.
          If you must have a closed phone, there are a few more expensive phones, but only marginally better than m50x.
          If you can use open phones, there are plenty better phones. E.g. HD 600 is a small step up.
          Be aware most better phones require an amplifier for a reasonable better sound quality.

  • Get this one on ebay with code CRAZY for 15% discount and plus 1.3% from Cashreward.

    • only one left now… lucky i got in :)

      • dang you robbed me

  • Wearing some right now, they're not the greatest but they're a good all round set of headphones (good bass, good portability/foldability, reasonable isolation, decent sound, easy to drive).
