Hi, this is Wayne again with a topic “Beats Pro vs Audio Technica ATH-M50!”.
The audio technica ath m50s are among the finest headphones under 200 and have been compared to headphones of a much higher price and still come out on top, but on video they’ve never been compared to monster’s very finest they’re. Top of the line beats pros until now. So just as a preview, i have the lowest prices i can find in the description below this video, but as of right now the m50s run around 160 dollars, while monsters beats by dre run up around 400. So, with the build, the m50s are a very highly adjustable and pretty comfortable pair of headphones. Actually, i’ve worn them for hours on end doing all kinds of audio stuff and they’re pretty soft on the inside and overall, their build quality is right where it should be. The beats pros are a very rigid pair of headphones. On the other hand, you can see that they’re made almost entirely out of aluminum, so they’re very, very sturdy, but that means that they also don’t adjust as much and they do try to make up for that.
With this very, very, very soft material on the headband and in the ear cups, but they still hurt my head after listening for a shorter period of time than the n50s did, both pairs of headphones are adjustable. They have these little notches on the side, so you can adjust them to the size of your head, which is nice, especially if you have a huge head or a massive, never mind anyway. One of the weird quirks about the beach pros is that they have a rigid circular earcup, which is not the natural shape of the ear. The m50s actually fit better with more of an oval ear cup and another hardware difference between the two that actually goes in favor of the beats.
This time is that the m50s don’t have a removable audio cable, while the beats pros have two audio jacks and a removable cable which allows you to daisy chain, multiple, headphones together and listen to the same audio source. That being said, the cables itself are mostly the same. Just the monster. Cable is red, yes, red, oh and the cable is a bit shorter, with the beats and also just fyi. The beats pros have a special feature that djs around the world will probably never use, but they can swivel the ear cups back. As you can see, honestly, it’s not that hard to just brush your hand back and move the ear cup back without the hinge. But hey it’s it’s a feature for your for your inner dj. No! But i’ve honestly never seen someone buy a pair of headphones for this feature, but hey it could be you. You could be that boss, you, boss mode boss, level, type bow status, bows! Okay, i’m done both pairs of headphones, come with these soft carrying pouches, the monster cable, one being a little bit more flashy red and black, and everything with the audio technica, one being a little bit more subdued just a chill gray color. But when it really all comes down to it, people are in it for one main reason and that’s audio quality.
That’S why people spend hundreds of dollars on headphones is because they’re trying to get better sound quality generally and, to be perfectly honest, the m50s sound better than the beats pros. I thought i was gon na get punched in the face for saying that high five or don’t hit your screen just or thumbs up on this video. Do you know how many people i see walking around like this, like this and like this seriously, really they’re, not even plugged in you’re making these a 400 fashion accessory a 400 necklace? Please don’t do that. I admit it in this swag category.
These are hands down. Amazing, looking okay, i got ta. I can’t do this anymore. These are amazing.
Looking headphones, they are hands down classy! Bravo, these are sexy. If you value that category at all yeah, these are excellent headphones, but in every other category it’s the m50s that take the top mark, and that’s really where the value comes in is is when you really decide how much you’re going to spend on headphones and where You’Re going to put your money yeah, that’s what you want to consider. So what i’m asked, which is better! I generally recommend the m50s to people who value sound the most, so the m50s have a very balanced, very accurate, very crisp, punchy, sound, very rich bass. These make excellent studio monitors for people who want to listen to music and hear things that they’ve never heard in the song before that were mixed in.
If you value this rock solid, build quality and you don’t mind paying a little extra for the name, and you know you really don’t like the looks of the m50s and you don’t mind the slightly overpowering bass or the lack of mids and some of the comfort Issues – and you don’t mind the price premium, then you should probably go with the beats pros either way.
