You did a really good job of explaining the sound quality. Best I've seen of the M50x's. Appreciate it. :D
Kudos! I love your reviews. My M50x will be delivered tomorrow.

Great review mate!
I've been researching a new headset for gaming and music, was leaning heavily toward the V-Moda M100s but this video helped me move toward setting on the M50x. Thanks for the video
I bought these after watching your review, cheers m8! Got em in green, looks dope
I bought one after watching your review. Another thing, I can listen to you on and on... Love your voice & accent.
MARRY HIM!!!LOL

Great review; quite informative. Thanks!
Thanks
Ps. your reviews are very helpful
Lachlan, you are awesome btw. Thanks for the education. Keep up the good work!
Why am I watching this video with subtitles when Lachlan can clearly speak English?
Oh wait it's for deaf people, :thumbsup:
Hang on why would deaf people want to watch a video about headphones?
Dead
Maybe they're planing on buying them as a gift for someone...

After watching this video a week ago I decided to buy M50x and I'm having it in my hand right now and it's so awesome!! Thank you so much
Great review, convinced me to buy a pair before the end of the video.
Nice video, the blue m50x colours are almost the same in real life.
Thanks for recommending me this headphones, Im very happy with them.
Great review :)
Thank you for this review. I think I know now what to get
Young Man, I enjoyed your review. Thank You.
Thanks for the review, you just landed the company another customer! :)
Great review! Goodonya
Getting them today 😊can't wait 😬
Just ordered M50XBT for Christmas 2020 and I hope I won’t be disappointed. I already have Ath MSR7 but I want something little bit bassier and commutable than my beloved MSR7
Nice review! And nice Hair!
Thank you for your review, got my pair recently ! Just FYI for those want are thinking about purchasing : NOT really good for outdoor, put-on-and-go daily use ( a bit too big and chunky, and the design is a bit troublesome for those not used to angle-adjustable earcups ). And the whole thing just has this pastic-ish feel all over it...However, sounds really good.
BUT if you are used to listening bass-heavy headphone (brands with celebrity faces all over), it will take a while for your ear to adjust coz it's though very balance, the bass is a bit (like lachlan said) aggressive, especially for the first few days, not the usual deep and muddle type ( which many may find comfortable or easy to the ears ).
Great channel. Great videos. Do you have any plans on reviewing the Bowers and Wilkins P5 or P7 headphones?
I used to own a pair of P5's and didn't love them. I tried out a pair of P7s but found the earpads don't seem to play nice with my glasses, so a bit hesitant about that.
Good video review buddy
Your channel is really growing, congrats :)
Thanks!
*#Audio-**#Technica **#ATH-M50x* is sold with the affordable price on amzn.to/1x0slp7. You should click this link to get more info and order. Beautiful Day! Best good - Best price
Nice review buddy.
Good review:)
Great review mate. I'm putting together a modest home recording setup & these are the monitoring headphones I've ordered. Looks like I could've done worse for the money. In terms of the flatness/biases in the frequency response, I guess it's a case of learning the quirks of your gear & working around the limitations. Otherwise we'd end up spending way too much $ & time in pursuit of "perfection". It's just good to have access to such decent quality hardware when you're starting out & on a tight budget.
Hi Lachlan
Because of your review on the M50X, I decided to buy a pair so thank you very much.
You're welcome!
lachlanlikesathing is it a good buy in 2017?
shivam malhotra Yea
I would absolutely love if more big tech channels reviewed Brainwavz's line of IEMs and headphones. They are an EXTREMELY underrated brand and outperform almost every brand in price\SQ ratio. For example, the brainwavz m2/m3 perform on par with headphones around 150 dollars, despite being half the price. The HM5 is one of their most highly acclaimed headphones that provide a more neutral and accurate sound than the m50s, for around 120-130 bucks.
The king is dead! Long live the king!
Can you have a review on the Marshall Monitor? i think it needs more fame for its sound quality :D
I'll add it to the list! docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ap5gFUKPCX3vdGoxeTY3UllkYmg5TlRVS3lzV3JRQUE&usp=sharing
Wololo!
*****
A little correction on your list because i think you added the wrong product because the marshall monitor,major and minor are three different products if you just happen to know :D
Oh gosh yes, okay I will fix that!
Hey Lachlan! Could you do a review of the new IM series earphones? Currently using the im04 and loving them and wonder what you would think about them. Thanks and looking forward to your review!!:)
Got my m50x today. Didn't expect much off it butt was really surprised when i tried them for the first time. The bass is very good, the treble is a little harsh on some songs butt is perfect for most songs that i listen to. Cymbals sound great.
Just received a pair in the mail today i'm super happy with it, I would have preferred the blue ones but then again I bought my pair for 120 euro which is super cheap.
Nice video, buying now :)
hi! can u review Grado SR80e? your reviews are awesome. thanks!
I wish that they could release more colour options, I have a pair of white m50, want some other colour for 50x rather than current three available ones
hi lachlan, I've been pondering these or the momentums and would appreciate your input. I mainly listen to alternative rock as well as jimi henedrix and led zepplin and some jazz like marcus miller etc. your thoughts?
They look so beautiful... lol. Nice review man. Like + sub.
very good review.
thx for the review. helped a lot. i actually bought the m50x bl ones. are there any impact resistant hard cases you can recommend for these? i learned they only come with a flimsy synthetic leather pouch.
very nice review! i am just wondering how does m50x compared to m40x? Do you have any reviews for the m40x?
hey lachlan, did you move house cause i noticed the background of the video is different from some of your other videos?
Hey lachlan. I recently found these in ear monitors called Ostry KCO6 and other reviewers say they are really great. They are under 60$ and you should try to get your hands on them and give a listen to them too.
Hey Lachlan. I am looking to get these headphones in this colour but I am worried the copper pleather will get dirty easily. Is this the case for yours? Hopefully it holds up well because the colour is stunning.
Hey Man, thanks for the vid/review. Really well done. Do I see an dac/amp below your Mac? If so which one is it and do you recommend it for use with the M50's? I hear all kinds of answers as to whether or not m50's need a dac/amp? Any input is appreciated. thanks
tlr8611 The M50X works fine with most modern sources. If you notice problems with noise or distortion from your equipment you might want to consider an amp, but I would take all the statements about how much an amp improves sound with a grain of salt.
Would you recommend this over the Senn Momentums? Is it worth paying the price gap (considering the street price of both of them) or would it be better to spend the gap on amps? Great review as always. Thanks.
Just got the matte grey ones which are great but man that colour scheme is dope.
Once upon a time, I was so close to snagging a pair of M50s but I went with the Sennheiser HD280 Pro instead.
Have you heard of the KRK KNS-8400? Would you recommend the Audio-Technica ATH-50x over the KRK for mixing music, specifically rap music?? I'm thinking about getting headphones as a gift, but I have almost no knowledge about them. I've just been looking at various reviews on different types.
Which headphone do you think I should get, these ones, the Sennheiser HD-25 or the V-Moda M-100? I'd be using them for mainly studio and home use but also some djing as well. Great review thanks :)
Hey lachlan,
Ive watched most of your videos on various headphones but im still struggling to decide between bose qc25's, sound true around ears, audio technica ath m50x or the m70x. Any recommendations?
And if you had $150, what sort of earphones would you go for? Im currently in year 11 going into long study sessions. Maybe that helps narrow down the reccomendations? Thanks man
Love the shirt, where is it from?
they sent you pair of perfect colors ;) wish they sell more m50's colors in my country
My only complaint is that I wish it was a standard 3.5mm jack so that I could use any cable I want. I switched to velour earpads because it's always hot in Hawaii. I'm not sure how much it affects the sound quality because my ears aren't really trained for that but the trade off for the comfort is worth it to me.
We need a wireless variant of these. ATH-M50W? That would be sweet!! I just bought the m50x and they sound really good. Better than my old klipsch Mode m40s that the earcups sort of disintegrated and I couldn't find replacements for the earcups. I am glad I bought these they are so much more comfortable than the klipsch which used a densely packed memory foam material which turned rock hard when it was cold and was very uncomfortable until it warmed up. I think the densely packed foam was the downfall of mode m40s because over time putting them on and taking them off put stress on the seam and eventually it just gives out and rips. I am so glad to see there are replacement parts for these out there too. Earcups, cables etc whereas I couldn't find replacement earcups for the mode m40s and was forced to abandon them for these. The only con I can think of is that athm50x fold in too many different directions and I'm afraid I am going to accidentally break them. Also the cups sometimes swivel a little bit when i have them on my head letting outside noise in but it isn't a big deal.
I got the Dark Green M50x from Amazon for almost a week now! But I just heard of the MSR7 which I think looks absolutely stunning. I'm thinking of returning my M50x to get the MSR7 but I like pretty much everything about the M50x except for the look. Are the sound quality, comfort and durability of the two a lot different? Whats your opinion on this?
Should I get these or the Beats pro? I really love my bass but I do think that Beats headphones have a too un-balanced sound signature...What do you think?
Btw,great video,keep it up!
Bought mine 3 weeks ago... completely satisfied. Only issues... they do need burn-in time.. the bass will change. As for the highs... they're actually a little bit soft, and more forgiving on sibilance. They aren't as "flat" as you'd expect from "studio monitors" though, but they do settle in after the burn-in period.
One thing though... with all the reviews for these cans... why are they all "cosmetic reviews"? Not a single review talking about the 15Hz to 28kHz frequency range, or the low impedance of only 38 Ohms. THAT's what is the most important... not just how comfortable or not they are. ;)
Did you see the recent news of an audio technica over-ear being produced?
It's the new ath-msr7, another sound reality product that is similar to the ckr9/10 series! Instead of push and pull phase, this headphone uses a motion driver technology.
It's a 45mm driver with three vents! I cannot wait for this new headphone, it'll be released in November 14!
Schoolprojectsforus1 Yep, posted about it on the Facebook page :) Didn't know the technical details though, so thanks!
***** hi lachlan , i wanna ask for recommendation , im still confused whether i wanna buy ath m50x or ath m40x because their price difference is around 100usd so i was thinking that i might use the 100usd for something else , so is the sound of both headphones really different or its quite the same ? This is going to be my first headphone so i dont wanna dissapoint myself , i mainly will use the headphones just for listening to music and maybe plug in the headphones to my guitar amplifier , so can you llease help me to choose ? Btw , Great videos !
i first bought my m50x based on your review,you steer me in the right direction for buying a pair of headphones thanks lachlanlikesathing. ps: i have the white version it looks sexy :)
Saifuddin Rahman I think the white looks great, but the earpads and headband may discolour over time...
ordered mine sunday, hopefully they come in tomorrow!! Gotem in cocaine white
Do you know what can be done if the hinges start to creak or crackle? I've had the white one for about a year and they work great but the swivel hinges have started to creak when I move my head around.
might be a silly question but Is there a headphone that is like the M40x or M50x but comes with a microphone line so you can talk to people on your phone if they call you rather than having to bust out your phone from your pocket every time? I wanted some good all around headphones and the mic line would be a nice addition
Hey man so would you recommend these or the seinheisser momentum?
Audio Technica M50x vs Sennheiser momnetums. I couldnt believe something sounded better then the Momentums!!!!! I cannot believe how amazing the Audio Technicas sound in terms of AMAZING detail in the mids and lows and incredible instrument separation. The bass is elevated but controlled which is what I love because I listen to a lot of hip hop. The holy grail of headphones under 200- Audio Technicas.
I automatically hit the like button when you just dropped the M50X :))
Lol, people looooove their M50X's!
I want buy these headphones in the Copper and Blue Coloured ATH-M50X model and was wondering if you knew any Australian stores that still sell them?
Hideo? Is that you?
Hey, nice video. how did you create a background like what you have on your imac where it consists of a tile of album covers?
pnoipr8 it's the iTunes screen saver!
Not sure whether to go for these or the Bose QuietComfort 25's... my computer tends to be pretty loud and I'm going to be flying to Singapore (from UK) to study for 9 months so I feel as if the noise cancellation would come in use but whether it justifies the jump in price is a hard one... I'm not an audiophile at all, I like all kinds of music from classical, old pop, metal, techno ect and I like to have the volume below the damage threshold.
lachlan, I did get beats for christmas and I have noticed that the buzz hurts my head and isn't really standing out. After coming to your video it looks like I have found a great pair of headphones. Would you recommend the switch?
A little late but every pair of beats just aren't worth the price, they are overpriced.
Sure, the only thing the beats are good for is Bass.
I'm quite nervous about you mentioning about the treble being a little harsh as I've already ordered them. Bought a RHA ma750i (I know it's an in ear earphones and differs from a covered headset) and I switched through all the ear tips but one song ( avicii - addicted to you) had such harsh sounds in the female vocals that is too much for me and I returned them after 3 days because I just couldn't stand them. Afraid that these will be the same.
Could you review the M40x? Thanks!
I'm currently using Monster Inspirations, bought them last Christmas for $150. They're decent but the clamping force is just way too tight, especially for someone wearing glasses, similar to yours.
I plan on picking these up this weekend ($190 CAD)
Hello Lachlan! I need your recommendation please!!! Which one is better sounding for recording and mixing and also for music listening? ATH-M50X or Sennheiser HD 598 Cs? I just bought the 598 on a super promotion but I've always wanted the M50s So I don't know if I should not open the 598s and sell them as new and get myself the M50s or if I should just keep the 598s! Please Help!!
There are slight differences in sound... i tested both.... the m50x has not has recessed mids as the previous one, the treble is now better and more natural and the bass seems to have a tiny bit more impact and tightness.
The only thing i don't like about these headphones is the proprietary cable connection on the headphones themselves. The cables are detachable but because of the weird connector you can't use any normal 3.5mm cables.
Just wondering if you knew any website or place where i could get coloured cables for audio technica m50x. Been looking around i've struggled to find some ahah! cheers would mean alot
I want to buy new headphones but I'm doubting between these and the sony MDR-1r. Which one would you recommend? I would use them at home and on the bus/train. I listen to a lot of music ranging from punk to classical, but I would also want to use them for watching movies.
what do you think of these compared to the Sennheiser HD6 mix for a music production and mixing headphone? isolation? comfort? frequency response? portability/convenience?
Cool video! Sick accent! Do you still like them? I'm weary of getting them because I wear glasses and the on-ear headphones I've had hurt my ears after a while. These go around your entire ear right? Are they still comfortable with glasses on?
+FreshnessKills they may be more comfortable than on-ear but they are still not the most comfortable headphone long term. Also watch that the headphone you choose still seals around your ears with glasses on! :)
+lachlanlikesathing Thank you! I appreciate it!
Too late to watch your review. I feel sad that I cannot found this special edition. I’m so into this color combination so cohesive. Is it only sell in AU? I really want the one that in your vid.
I just bought the Sennheiser momentums based off your review and I greatly appreciate you answering my questions on these! They will be in the mail tomorrow. Very excited.
However after listening to your review on the Audio Technica I want these as well. However people are soooooo happy and rave about the M50s should I buy the M50s instead of the M50x? I will usually wear these headphones out/travel. Will there be a big difference in sound quality between the M50s and the M50x? I listen to a lot of hip hop, rock, and pop.
The momentums and ( whichever Audio Technica pair you recommend) will be my first 2 pairs of really good headphones.
Ps. I havent seen a review comparing the sennheiser momentums and the Audio technica anywhere on youtube. Can you please review these 2 in the near future!
Thanks for all your help.
Maybe just enjoy your nice new headphones before considering even more purchases! But as a general thing go for the M50x, the detachable short cable makes it more practical to use outside.
***** lol thanks man...Too late. Had to buy the M50x. These 2 will keep me busy for a while
***** quick question, which do you prefer?...beats studio 2.0 or M50x?
I see that IAMX album back there :D
Totally unrelated to the video, but they are not nearly as known as they should be.
Yeah awesome album! One of my favourites discoveries when I was younger. I do think they should be bigger but maybe people just hate falsetto lol.
Does the 1.2 meter plug work with an iPhone 5S with the Apple made leather case? Almost no plugs fit the small opening.
Hey dude,
Which one do you recommend for someone who listens to normal top 40 pop music and want a comfortable pair of headphones to use for a long time? The Audio Technica ATH-M50X or the Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro's? They are both at the same price in my country. So what do you thing. Please answer back.
Jules
I paid 175 for my blue edition about a year ago.
It's a great headphone, but has a small stage and it gets really heavy after a few hours of use. No very portable at all. Sold them a few weeks back and I'm gonna get a pair of B&O H6 instead
i agree with you on the sm boost on the lows and low mids, but it does work with clarity. True, not totally neutral but pleasing. i also noticed the clarity on treb and female vocals. Shimmery yes, i didnt get metallic like cheap headphones tho. When listening to solo piano, this clarity and spatial will have a payoff
I'm thinking about getting headphones. Should I get the Sony MDR-XB950BT's or the Audio Technica ATH-M50X's?
I found the m50s to have extremely aggressive bass and treble with a very closed in sound that wasn't very pleasing to me. They didn't sound very flat also, but I also didn't find the hd598 very flat either.
I rock the whites, I just wish they had more color options.
YOU HEAR ME AUDIO TECHNICA, MORE COLOR OPTIONS!
