Super excited for these!

Submitted by cat4hurricane t3_zv3zp8 in headphones

I previously had a pair of UrbanEar Plattans, but they stopped doing on-ears consistently so I wanted to branch out in my brands. A friend recommended these as a good option so I put it on my Christmas list. What song should I test them out on? I’m excited to finally have some good sound.

Classic set. No matter what other options exist I will always have a pair as they were my first pair of decent headphones, and having them for years they're extremely familiar sounding to me, so if i just need to know what something sounds like without having to think about it I still reach for these a lot because I know how they're gonna sound with what I'm listening to. If you have these for years, then the same thing may happen to you even if you get other headphones in the future. Congrats!

And as for what you should test it out on, test it out on a song with some sort of sentimental meaning to you. It could be a song you heard on the radio as a kid at a certain time or something from a movie that left an impact on you or whatever, just find the song that means something to you. Sometimes, with a decent set of headphones, you hear things in that song that you didn't hear before and it makes it feel like you're listening to it for the first time again. When you find the right song played on the right headphones, it's an incomparable feeling.

My first one was the m40x due to budget constraints at the time, the m50x felt so much more comfortable than the m40x, while sound quality can be debated but yeah the m50s are great but value wise nowadays there's a lot of competitior

Great cans, but I definitely prefer my v-moda m-100… got yourself a good DAC? DragonFly Red is my weapon of choice

Not yet, the headphones were a gift so I’ll have to most likely budget out for an amp, but the Red looks good on a quick look over. I’m exchanging those headphones for the Bluetooth version (Amazon mixup), still excited and will definitely use them. Music wise an amplifier is definitely next on my list.

Let us know how you go with the BT version, wired comparison would be great, I’m wired all the way :)

Glad to see another person entering the hobby, though it pains me that the entry point is through the m50xs like so many others. If you're every looking for a reasonably priced upgrade, the 58x are 140$ right now.

I do see your point and do agree with you in a way, but they got a good present so let them just enjoy them. I have a pair, sure they aren't the best sounding for music listening even compared to headphones the same price or less but they aren't bad. Brilliant for recording, live mixing and picking out small details and very portable and practical with the way it can fold whilst not drawing much power and therefore able to be powered by mobile phones and other similar devices without a dedicated amp. Great studio headphones which is what they are designed for. I personally don't use them much for listening to music for enjoyment because of how narrow sounding they are and the comfort isn't the best but they are still great headphones.

The M50x's are my favorite sounding headphones that I've tried.
