Audio Technica ATH-M50 [Review]

2011-09-12
hey guys it's mkbhd back with an HD video review of the Audio Technica ETH M 50s 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 m50 s 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 4 foot cable and that cable is also coiled so that makes it more like 6 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 m50 S 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 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 size door 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 they'll be pretty stupid so we're going to check that out right now first we have to get some music on ah 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 was that was intended the frequency response is flat and amazingly accurate I would happily pay two hundred two hundred fifty dollars for these headphones but as you can see by the link in the description I only paid one hundred and sixty even if you have the most crazy musical tastes any of the music item 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 lows as any other highs I've ever heard so this is one well-balanced pair of headphones and I couldn't recommend anything else if you have a two hundred dollar budget this is the pair of headphones you need to buy this is also going to earn the I think the third ever mkbhd ten out of ten product rating so believe me if you if you have any problems with these headphones come to me and by the way if this video does get you hundred ratings 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 you
