hey guys this is Austin today me with episode 2 of tech I like and know I didn't just forget to take my head from self before the shoot today I'm going to be talking about the audio technica ath em 50s and for the price these things are absolutely killer especially when you compare them to some more expensive headphones beats so let's go ahead and take a look when you get the 8 th in 50s you get a couple of things in the box of course included is the headphones themselves and you also do get a carrying pouch which is a little bit useful and you also do get an adapter if you have some higher-end audio equipment taking a closer look at the headphones you'll find that they're built pretty well now they are mostly made out of plastic however it's not look that bad they feel free to stir D and definitely should be able to hold up some pretty decent wear and tear now up top you'll find the pad headband it's got a nice amount of padding sometimes it can get a little bit uncomfortable when you're listening to it for long periods of time but for the most part looks nice it does have the gigantic Audio Technica logo up top these are over your headphones and of course one of the most important attributes is the fact that they've got to be comfortable you know if you get something that's totally sealed up around your ears if they're like the padding is not right or something they can get really uncomfortable really fast however just like the headband and everything else it works pretty well maybe not the most comfortable headphones I've ever had in my entire life but they work really nicely and again over extended listening periods you're not gonna have a whole lot of issues of course your ears might get a little warm and you know it's not gonna be quite perfect but overall you're not really gonna have any problems the in fifties come with a fairly long high-quality cable now what I like is about half of it or so is coiled so of course if you want to stick it in your pocket wherever you don't have to have a 15 foot long cable or whatever but on the other hand you can still stretch it out and you can go almost all the way around the room without really having to run into any major issues of course these are some high-end headphones and you're not really gonna want to pick them up if they don't have good audio quality however the in fifties definitely do not disappoint in this category so the bass is nice and while talking about bass I just want to kind of throw another shout-out to Beats because I know a lot of people do compare these to the beats now the beats definitely do have a lot more bass however I didn't really consider that a good thing now bass is definitely a very important part you know you want headphones that are well rounded you want good bass but you also want other attributes and a lot of beats they just overwhelm there's just lots and lots and lots of bass and everything else is very toned down it just kind of sounds a little bit muddy heavily with the m50 everything is nicely balanced there is some good bass it's not gonna go blow your ears off that's because there's a lot of other different parts of your music so the lows the mids the highs everything sounds really nice I mean the highs are even probably my favorite part I mean it almost sounds like there are tweeters just inside the cups they're really really nice don't get me wrong these are not the best headphones in the world you know for example some of the better headphones I've listened to include the a hi-fi man HD 400s those pretty much beat these on all categories however those are 400 bucks these are 150 so you know they're in a totally different price range and of course you know you're gonna be paying that much more you're gonna get better quality but overall for the money for the price for all that kind of good stuff the audio technica ath em 50's do not disappoint of course these aren't quite perfect so one of the cons I found was that the 3.5 millimeter audio jack doesn't always work with everything now while the in fifties themselves don't really require a ton of power so you should be able to empower them from you know an mp3 player computer image anything with a 3.5 millimeter audio jack but where the problem lies is just being able to plug it in so with my iPhone 4s and pretty much any case I tried on it it was not able to actually get a good connection and that's because it is a very flat jack so when you try to plug it in if there's any kind of lip or anything that kind of not doesn't allow it to get a full solid connection then you won't be able to plug them in it just won't work so pretty much any time I wanted to listen to music on my iPhone I had to take the case off which wasn't a deal-breaker but it was a little bit annoying it definitely something I wanted to mention to you guys overall if you're looking to pick up some headphones and 150 to $200 price range I highly recommend the audio technica ath em 50s they have some awesome audio quality good build quality and overall they're a really good package on quick sidenote I wanted to give you guys a big big thank you for the support I received on the last video the response was pretty much overwhelmingly positive and for that I really appreciate it guys so if you enjoy these videos let me be sure to leave them a thumbs up favorite share all that kinda great stuff and of course I do also want to mention that I'm going to be doing these weekly now so every Saturday you will see a new episode of tech I like or of course I'll go over phones headphones cameras you name it any kind of cool tech I like so yeah guys I'll catch you next time
