On a side note, I get a lot of messages from people asking about how I can afford to buy all these headphones and have time to make all these videos so I wanted to share the answer here. It basically is the result of learning how to effectively do drop shipping (basically buying and selling products for a profit) and setting up your own online ecommerce store. I stumbled and fumbled around with this process for a quite a while before finally becoming successful as a result of finally having a simple to follow course. I wrote a review about the course I used if you're interested: reviewsbylance.com/dropship-li...
And then I also wrote a review about the wholesale directory I use to find all these great wholesale suppliers: reviewsbylance.com/wholesale-s...
Or you can watch the Salehoo review I did to get a behind the scenes look • Video
Then if you have additional questions you can just post those in the comment section and I'll be happy to answer any questions I can. Hope that helps :)
Audio Technica ATH-M50X review is live. Feel free to like/share if you enjoy! :)

Hey, thanks a lot for the review! I am considering buying the M50x to retire my Astro A50 (gaming). I am worried that the bass on these won't be enough for me. Is there a way to read and compare the frequency response of both headphones to find how the bass of the M50 compares? I am a total audio noob :((( Thanks for your time, mate
I bought the limited edition dark green version of these as my first expensive headphones at $180 (the most I'd spent before was $50) and I wasn't disappointed. I really appreciate listening to my music in terms of focusing on every instrument, note or vocal. These let you do that. I've also used them for movies and they're very accurate and provide an authentic movie experience. As he said, these really do everything well. The high ratings are well deserved here. You just can't go wrong with these. If you're coming from beats or another brand that artificially pumps up certain aspects of the sound, they may sound plain at first bit once you adjust your ears, you'll appreciate that you're now hearing music as it was intended to sound. I'd easily recommend them to anyone.
I've got 2 pairs of the dark green ones. They are fantastic
Hey, would you mind checking out 2 recent videos reviews I made? One is the best vpn 2020 at czcams.com/video/qm9Qm3cSAj4/video.html& and the 2nd is expressvpn czcams.com/video/gPj9Lq76icA/video.html. If you could watch and share your feedback on the videos I would be grateful.
The M50x is the successor to the M50, not predecessor
Why bother!? He's American!
glishteach lmfao
i need headphones that dont leak into the microphone are these good?
The Real DayOnez Yes, they seal very well with the stock pads
thank you,im going to record with 1 side on my ear and the other side slightly off my other ear just so i hear myself when recording.wold these head phones still be good for that?
Big audiophile fan here. In the market for a new pair of cans after my WESC Rza Street Chambers just died out on me. They were the best pair (and rather unspoken) of phones I've had, but I'm ready for an upgrade. I know the reputation of the M50X, so watched some reviews and was a bit on the fence, then came across yours. You sold me. Excellent job. Looking forward to listening to all genres, and creating my ambient music with these cans. You have yourself a new sub here.
Hi Lance! I'll definitely be getting these headphones. I've read and seen many reviews, but yours is the best :) I just wanted to let you know that your videos definitely make a difference in peoples' purchases, and definitely for the better. Reading through the comments, I think it's really cool you respond to every comment, even months after you post the video. Really respect you, keep up the good work! :)
Just picked these up as my first real set of headphones. I got the blue version for around $190. So comfortable. I wear them all day at work and at home. Everything from digital to vinyl sounds amazing on these I actually like the *slight boost in bass and mid tones because it balances out some bad EQ settings I come across.
Can't thank you enough for the quality of each and every one of your reviews.
Hey, would you mind checking out 2 recent videos reviews I made? One is the best vpn 2020 at czcams.com/video/qm9Qm3cSAj4/video.html& and the 2nd is expressvpn czcams.com/video/gPj9Lq76icA/video.html. If you could watch and share your feedback on the videos I would be grateful.
I gotta say that the first two weeks of owning this headphones was a hell of wearing, within first 10 - 15 minutes of wearing the I had to find another position on my head to easy the headband pressure which gave me headaches. I have normal sized had, little bit bigger maybe but it was bugging me so much I wanted to return them. I tried to stretch the headband then fold it, even considered to put another cushion under the headband. Now i finally figured out the way to put them on. Press the ear-cups toward my ear and let rest the headband so it barely touches my top head. You might think this is stupid but I finally am able to fully appreciate them. :)
Have watched a bunch of reviews on these headphones and this is by far the best. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this great review!
Although my own M50x are already on their way, I still love watching reviews about them on CZcams and I have to say.. your review was clearly among the best.
You make a really good reviewer - keep at it!
Greetings from Germany
Thanks a lot for the detailed review. You are pretty dead on about these headphones. My mind is officially blown by these cans. Almost every song sounds different than before. Really amazing how different music can sound with different equipment
Keep up the good work. I really enjoy the content that you produce. Had a pair of HD 518s. Recently got myself an ATH M50x for listening in places where sound leakage is an issue! I primarily listen to heavy, progressive, gothic and instrumental metal coupled with some classic, punk, psychedelic and alternative rock and M50x just lends beautiful clarity to my music.
*****
Yeah I sure do! :-P
Thank you for this! Stoked to get these Tuesday!
u talking about audio with this sound quality in your videos...?
Right I turned this on and I was like I'm not going to make it through this
Can you do a video on what is a headphone amp? And what difference it makes. That would be really helpful. Thanks Lance.
A headphone amplifier is mostly needed if your headphones don’t get loud enough on your device of choice. There are a number of other reasons that can speak for a headphone amplifier. A place where this is well explained is here: nwavguy.blogspot.ch/2011/02/gain-and-headphone-ampsdacs.html
The best review on these headphones! I've been thinking about which to get and was considering these and your review sold me! Subscribed!
Nice review..I now use 2 pairs of ATHM50's, 1 pair stays hooked into my DAC/AMP on the desktop, the other for the street and portable devices, and receiver..What I appreciated about your review is that I am mostly a rock,jazz and blues listener but can understand how AT tweaked market wise on the sound for the "younger" listener....Guess I don"t have to worry for some time but I would not hesitate in getting a new pair down the road when need be.
Buy these or seinnhauser momentum 2.0?
Finally - a decent review of these!! :)
I bought a pair of Creative WP-350s many years ago per Lance's recommendation. They were the best headphones I've ever used, sound quality was amazing. They finally broke, and I went through six other headphones looking for similar quality. Thankfully I found this channel and recognized Lance as the guy who recommended the WP-350s so long ago. I ordered the ATH-M50xBT2 and the quality is exactly what I was looking for. THANK YOU, LANCE for these reviews!
My M50x arrive today, they're amazing. Cheers for the recommendation, lance.
Should I get these or the Sennheiser HD 598?
actually QWERTY hd598
I'm stuck between these and v moda's m100. I don't want overpowering bass, but also don't want it to be lacking bass. What is it like with m50x? Which ones would you recommend?
I was about to make the same quetion;)
M100. It has a really fun listen, and it actually has a bass that's easily distinguishable while not overpowering anything else. I'd keep mine, but since I'm on a budget, I went for the M50x.
Already got the m100, overall like them although sound leaks quite a bit after sound peaks about 70%
alberto meza if you havent decided, the hope this helps. if you want more outdoors use, bass or style go with V-moda's. I have the m50's and i use them for indoors use for music and movies on my laptop. They are clear, clean and amazing, though they are big. I would go with the V-moda's if i need something that i wanted to carry around.
You helped a lot with my decision on getting these. I ordered the blue pair and they are phenomenal. Thanks!
Best review I have seen in a very long time. Keep the good work up! :)
***** Hey Lance, could you please tell me the exact size of the ear buds? I have relatively big ears and I'm afraid that they won't fit me :(
Why is Edward Norton reviewing awesome headphones? o_O?
Successor, not predecessor.
Awesome review, you've just convinced me to upgrade from my grado sr80i. Thanks a lot mate.
Hey Lance! After watching your review, I decided to purchase these. They finally came in the mail a few days ago, and they are awesome! I could not be happier with the quality and comfort of these things. And you're right, I can easily wear these for many hours of the day. Thanks for your in-depth review of these headphones!
***** Not a problem! Hope all is well!
I got my ath m50x a couple of months after testing out once, a friend's. It was expensive (esp here because all good things get taxed to hell by our corrupt government), but not as expensive as others. I use it at work a lot when I get annoyed by the noise and just want to focus or, to destress. These headphones are PERFECT. I recommend getting a tougher case tho, esp if you plan to take this in your bag. Mine nearly got squashed when I rode our jampacked MRT here.
they ARE the best, true, own 2 pairs of em.
Good review, I just got a set of these and they are definitely great! I use them for audio editing and monitoring and everything you say is correct. The price now, Jan 2021 in Canada is $220.00 but still well worth the price.
Thank You Lance for your review.
After reading allot& watching allot of reviews including yours and other youtubers i bought my own pair of ATH-M50x's.
And i must say i am more than happy about my purchase.
So thank you.
So, does anyone use these for gaming? Do they make your ears sore after a while or not at all?
+watsyurdeal They're great headphones but the closed back design leads to a poor soundstage. Because of this, I wouldn't recommend them for gaming.
These are great for gaming.. Most people will tell you this.
+watsyurdeal I tried and I must say they are poor for gaming.
+Iggyownsyou what does that mean? because I just bought these only for gaming....
+megamoose555 M50x ? No it is not good for gaming. Even a cheaper open back headphone will perform better because of soundstage. That's only if you play game like COD, BattleField
you look like they guy from BIGDAWSTV
Really good video! clear and easy to understand !
Good review.I'm listening to this review with over ear Momentums that are unfortunately going back tomorrow. I love the sound quality of the Momentums but they're so uncomfortable I had to give them up.
I was seriously considering the HD598 but I know I'll need an amp for them and portability is important to me. So, bottom line I went ahead and ordered the M50x this evening. I can't wait to get them! BTW, I really enjoy your reviews
I'm sold. Bye bye Siberia v2
***** Have them now! And boy! Do I love them, thanks again :)
TheCameltotem how does it compared to siberia v2? coz i'm also gonna move from siberia v2 :p
***** A lot better actually, they are much much more comfortable to wear, the sound is very crisp and the bass is good! Not super deep bass but still a lot better than Siberia V2 that had bad bass. Really worth the upgrade, go for it!
TheCameltotem ok thanks man! :D cant wait to buy it tomorrow!
Thank you guys! Upgrading from my Siberia V2 tomorrow too. :) Thanks for your help.
Do these sound nice with EDM and House music?
Yes
+Nohemi Morales Hell yeah ! and House music is EDM btw
House is not EDM.
Yes it is. EDM stands for electronic dance music. That is exactly what house is. That shitty genre that calls itself EDM is one of the many subgenres of EDM (house is also a subgenre of EDM)
Well said. I hate it when people call 'EDM' a genre. Electronic Dance Music is exactly that. Hardstyle, Happy Hardcore, Trance, House, Deep House, Electro, Bounce etc.
Oh man! I really LOVE your review! thanks!
I just purchased this headset after watching your review, and I just love this headset and
I feel like I can wear them all day!.
Overall...OUTSTANDING! Great review!
I was considering AKG K550, but now.. not a chance. I jizzed myself while listening to m50x review, let alone actually having them on head.. some day ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Upgrade your mic setup. Your voice is so tiny.
Hey, would you mind checking out 2 recent videos reviews I made? One is the best vpn 2020 at czcams.com/video/qm9Qm3cSAj4/video.html& and the 2nd is expressvpn czcams.com/video/gPj9Lq76icA/video.html. If you could watch and share your feedback on the videos I would be grateful.
I just now came across your reviews and I can't stop watching them. I thought I was previously decided on either the Philips Fidelio X1 or the DT 990 Pro 250 Ohm but after watching this review, I honestly don't know! I'll mostly be watching movies and playing games late at night at home so sound leaking isn't a big deal.
Hi Mr Lance, how about Audio Technica ATH M50X compare with Sony MDR-1RBT?
which one the best in comfortable and sound quality?
and which one do you prefer?
I found the ATHM50X's to be bass heavy, and sent them back.
+Oz Leighton oh wow thats weird a lot of people say the opposite, have you tried mixing the sound settings
+Alejandro Tejeda They weren't only bass heavy, the treble was exaggerated too. Some people like that kind of sound, some people don't.
+Oz Leighton what kind of music do you listen to?
70's, 80's 90's and beyond, rock, metal...stuff like that.
+Martin B Pelotudo? that is a insult in Spanish
Just picked up a pair of the M50x's, loving them so far!
Hi, thanks for the great review on these headphones.
Currently I'm debating between the m40x and m50x, and in terms of the sound blocking/isolation, which one is better? It seems that you have given more credit to m50x on this subject.
Great review man. I really enjoyed it. I just bought these headphones and I am waiting for them to come in the mail.
The review was a little bit too long though... You covered all the bases, but you repeated yourself several times and that added to the length. 8-9 minutes would have been sufficient. Other than that, well done. This was the first review I've ever seen from you but I will be checking out your other ones after this.
Thank you very much this review helped me made my mind about which headphones to buy!
Hey, thanks for the awesome review! I watched your Sennheiser RS 160 review and thought I had made my choice, but now I really want to get these. Wich would you prefer?
Awesome review Bro! which headphone do you recommend the most? audio technica ath m50x or V Moda crossfade LP or sennheiser hd 598?
subscribing to your channel
keep on the good work
Roll on pay day - theses are so going on my ears and glad to watch someone who can review with class and superb knowledge.
Firstly a great review, was very helpful! secondly do you know if the M50x are compatible with the surface pro 2 as i brought the beats mixre and had to take them back as they didnt work.
Great review. Thanks for the level of detail. Subscribed.
Hey Lance. In the ATH M50 original video you said that they squeezed your head a decent amount. Are the M50x's better in that regard?
By far the best review on CZcams for the M50x.
Thank you very much for your review, helped me a lot . I wanted to know if it's worth buying the set that comes with the amp FiiO ? I 'll use to listen music from my phone and my computer at work .
Thanks again !
Thanks for your video, I really love your reviews. Would you suggest them to use with a digital piano? If not, which one would you recommend? I have the HD598, but I'm not totally satisfied with them. I was considering also the AKG Q701, I heard they are very good with acoustic instruments. Thank you.
Hello Lance,
Having a bit of a dilemma. So I'm wondering how does the M50X compare to the V-modas M-100s, I know there's a major price difference but if you have listen to the M-100s, what do you think about it ?
Thanks
Nice review. Mine are in the mail, as we speak!! Excited. 😀
Hi Lance, I'm looking for a pair of headphones and I have my eyes on the Sony MDR-R1 and audio technica ATH-m50x blue. Which one do you think is more comfortable and good looking and which one would you recommend. Thank you!!
Hello, I really liked your review on M50x, just had question though, you mentioned and I heard that ear pads are bit soft, how would you feel about their longevity ?, can they be replaced easily if they are go softer after brief use. The detachable cable is make me lean towards to M50x then M50 in spite of huge price difference.
Great Review Lance!
Hi, I like your video so much, I don't know which one to choose, shure srh 840 or audio technica m50x?
Hi Lance, great reviews. Have a question - I'm considering buying headphones for use in gym and during jogs primarily, tossing up between the ATH M50, M50X or the Bose SoundTrue. Which one do you recommend and why? i wear glasses and heard on your bose review that the bose were v comfortable for ppl with glasses. Thank you for your suggestion and keep up the good work.
hi Lance. LOVE your review, by the way Which one better? ATH-M50X or the Sony MDR-1R?
Hi Lance. Great review as always. Which one has better overall sound quality: ATH-M50X or the Sennheiser HD 598?
Thanks for the reply!
Hey there Lance! Thanks for the awesome review! I really appreciate your videos. I had a question though. Do these headphones have a tight enough grip or clamp on your head to feel like they are secure and you can move around with them? You say the M50's are a tighter feel from my understanding, but are these too loose? thats a pretty big concern for me. I definitely want them to be tight enough to have them feel like they are secure on my head. Obviously don't plan on jumping around with them but i really want the tighter feel. Thanks in advance!
Hi! Another great review - thanks for that :) I have a small question.
Which one would you choose between the ATH-M50X and the Sony MDR-7506 if you're looking for a precise representation of recorded music?
I'm just interested in your personal opinion :)
Thank you!
Dude, that was a hell of a video! I'm actually debating between these, the Beyerdynamic DT-1350-80, and the Sennheiser Momentum. If you have tried all or any of these, could you help with an idea on sound quality, and comfort between the three? Options are limited on them all for what I am looking for, but the Audio Technicas only have one feature missing that I really don't care about. A phone cable. If you or anyone else could help it would be greatly appreciated! I should also mention that the primary means of use for these are in bed watching movies, light gaming and the secondary would be for travel.
getting these tomorrow, thanks dude!
Have you been happy with them?
Hi Lance! really good review thanks for uploading this. Im about to get new headphones for electronic music production, What are your thoughts on the AT ATH-M50X compared to the DT 990 Pro 250 ohm?
Hey mate if you could pick ATH-M50X or BOSEQC25 for a everyday using and travel sometimes which one ? cheers great review
Hello Lance,
Quick question: Are the ATH-M50X better for music in comparison to the HD600? I know in price there are very different and for the HD600 you need an amp. I listen mostly at home. Really want to know what your opinion is about this because it's about saving lots of money.
Thanks in advance, and like always great reviews!
Really helpful review!
Great review! I have the M50’s. I use them with my bass guitar mostly. I have used them for TV, and music from various sources. They’re the all around best! Second are my Grado Prestige SR 80’s. 3rd, Trond wireless for TV, 4th place Beats Solo Wireless exclusively for walking the dog. These are the best for portability, automatic pairing, and external control even with thick gloves on, and phone calls. Outstanding design for convenience, if not, sonically. 5th are my poor beat up and duct taped little Koss titanium less than $20 that are used on the bed with my iPad and get constant abuse, but sound great for what they are. I paid about half of what the M50x’s cost now, and for my limited uses would not be worth the upgrade.
Awesome review man ! I think iam gonna go in for them !
I am trying to decided between the ATH-M50x and the Voda Crossfade M 100. I listen mainly to jazz and classical. Any advice?
Great review! I'm looking to pair with a turntable, can you recommend an amplifier to use with these headphones that would sound good for vinyl? Very appreciated! Enjoy all your videos!
Thanks for the awesome review!
I just bought these and although they sound nice and balanced, they don't quite have as much bass as I expected them to based on all the reviews I've seen (this one included). However, I did notice that if you use an equalizer, they will handle quite a bit of bass without distorting. Another thing I noticed that I found a bit annoying is that while the highs have a nice, clear sparkle, certain sounds seem to have a sort of faint hiss to them. I don't know if it's just my particular set or what but it seems to happen most often with electronic music (maybe synthesizers?) and, strangely, doesn't seem to happen at all with acoustic music.
Just got a pair of these for work and they are fantastic so far. Not sure if they are fully broken in yet but if they stay how they are now I'll still be very happy with my purchase.
Finally an honest review, How could I not subscribe?
thanks.
Bought my M50x last week thanks sir for the knowledge...
Hey Lance, thank you for all your reviews! How would you say these compare to the DT770s purely in terms of sound quality (mp3/wav files)? Thanks!
Great review! I have a pair of Klipsch M40's which sound great but feel like you have a vice on your head! When Adorama sent me an email with a flash sale of these M50x headphones for only $99, Of course I did some online research before deciding to order these. You make them sound great. If they sound as good as my M40s but are comfortable, that will be perfect.
Can you help me? I really enjoy the cable options that come with the M50x. However, for the purpose of production I looove how the M40x is more neutral in sound quality. Is their software to get the M50x more flat (like an EQ) or should I get the M40x and buy the cables afterwards?
Mine are in the mail now. Can't wait!
Thanks for the very detailed review. Some people spend almost all the time opening the box or talking about things that just don't matter.
I currently have the MDR 7506 and I want something with more bass. Would the M50X be a good choice?
I'm deciding between this and the Sennheiser HD598, what do you recommend?
Thank you for this great review. It convinced me to buy this product and subscribe to your channel.
Feedback:
I love your reviews, I already ordered the M50X but still I took the time watching all your ATH reviews :). The only thing I actually started to miss is the isolation test which you've put in the M20X review.
Just one small question: How much sound does the M50X isolate?
which do you think is better... the V-Moda XS or the M50X?
i am looking to buy my first pair of headphones. i would really appreciate your opinion.
Hello Lance, i'm searching for budget friendly headphones to listen to music for travel or just for everyday use with my smartphone, would you recommend the ATHM50X? or other headphones?? At first i thought about getting bluetooth, but after doing some research i should pay too much to get descent ones... what do you recommend, thank you for your videos :)
hi, and thanks for all you great videos!
i am looking for new headphones, and the audio technica are very cheap here in Japan. what about the audio-technica ath-ad series, have you ever done a video about this headphones? thanks
Hey Lance I Love your videos I was wondering what headphones you would recommend for an everyday user that is always on the go between the Audio Technica ATH M50X Or The Bose Sound True Headphones. Which ones do you recommend are more comfortable for a long period of use & if you have other headphones in mind that are under 200 Dollars that would fit this category that would be great. Hope to hear from you soon. Keep up the great reviews.
So which of the 2 would you choose as a studio monitor headphone for the flattest response? Thanks
Hello hi fi heaven,Could you compare these to the Vmoda Xs headphones ? Which one would you prefer and why ?Thanks,
