Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Audio Technica ATH-M50 [Review]”.
Hey guys, it’s mkbhd back with an hd video review of the audio technica ath m50s, my self-proclaimed best headphones for under 200 bucks period. So you know these have to be good, and if this video gets 800 likes, i will give away a pair on twitter. So you can view that link below so let’s get started so right away. You can see the m50s are a sleek high quality pair of headphones and they feature a really solid, build of mostly metal and a little bit of plastic. But for the price point like i said, if you’re looking for sub 200 headphones in terms of build quality, this is absolutely the way to go so starting from the bottom and working our way up.
We have a three and a half millimeter gold plated headphone jack, with a really really solid. Build, don’t see that breaking anytime soon connected to this jack is a 1.2 meter or four foot cable and that cable is also coiled. So that makes it more like six feet, so you can reach it around behind a desk or something over at the other end of the cable. It’S the star of the show it’s the m50s themselves, looking good so starting off with the build quality. These headphones are top notch, which is an awesome segue, because these have little notches on the sides that allow you to adjust the size of the headphones. So that’s perfect: if you have a gigantic dome, you can still rock these or if you have a tiny skull. These will work for you too also, you can see these are adjustable in all kinds of ways, so you can literally have a pterodactyl-shaped head and these will still create a seal. Wonderful, oh and, unlike some other headphones in this budget, this pair is ridiculously durable.
So major props to audio technica on this one well done, and another thing i like to talk about in headphones is comfort, and this is one of the again top of the line for this budget. It’S really really soft and all the parts are flexible enough to fit to your pterodactyl-sized or whatever sized head, and yet they do all this, while still being able to fold up and fit in this handy dandy, carrying pouch thing. But what’s a headphone review without word on how they sound well that’ll, be pretty stupid, so we’re going to check that out right now. First, we have to get some music on uh there we go perfect, let’s listen to some gaga! First, all right! So i’m just going to tell you right now: these headphones are flat out. Amazing pun intended that that was that was intended. The frequency response is flat and amazingly accurate. I would happily pay 200 250 dollars for these headphones, but, as you can see by the link in the description, i only paid 160., even if you have the most crazy musical tastes any of the music that i’m listening to right now sounds amazing. The lows are very, very deep: they’re, not overpowering at all.
The mids are very well balanced and the highs are extremely nice. They sound just as fine with the mids and the lows as any other hives. I’Ve ever heard. So this is one well-balanced pair of headphones and i couldn’t recommend anything else.
If you have a 200 budget, this is the pair of headphones you need to buy. This is also going to earn the i think, the third ever mkbhd 10 out of 10 product rating. So you believe me if you, if you have any problems with these headphones, come to me and uh by the way, if this video does get 800 readings, i do want to see a video review from the person that wins them either way. Thanks for watching this, video mkbhd signing out peace, laughs, .
