Audio Technica ath-m50 Headphones?!

[Zolo]

I'm planning on purchasing the AT's for my DJ Headphones. They fit my price range and look pretty dope. Do any of you guys have any previous experience with them?
Also, What do they mean by "Studio Moniter Headphones" and the "Closed Back"?

I wanted those first too, but I heard the hinge seems to break with quite a few people. but that mostly depends on the use and the person

Studio monitor headphones are used for Studio monitoring : this is producing/editing music/sounds etc. where you have to keep your headphones on for sometimes hours.


Example of closed back:

Example of open back:

With open back air can enter your headphones and 'effect' the sound: you get a more natural sound.
Open back is for the Hi Fi lovers that want to hear natural music etc..

DJ's use more closed back: no air can enter and more importantly no other music/sound can enter and influence what is playing 'inside'.

Hope this helped

ive had mine for about a week or so now and am very happy with them.

the sound quality is the best ive found in this price range (and even better than some more expensive headphones)
and isolation is good.

build quality seems okay to me for now, cant really comment on this since i only had them for a week.

in terms of using them for studio monitoring, they are comfortable but not for wearing them for hours. i find myself taking them off every 15-20 mins or so.

for its price its basically one of the better ones you can buy imo.

What is the price now? I'm wondering

I foundd a pair for 150 euros here in holland

that's pretty expensive no? are they new or 2nd hand?

I said I wanted those first too: I'm wrong I apparently wanted the AT pro 700 - they look so sweet

i have M50s as well and i love em. Great for production and i use em to DJ as well. get the m50S if you want the straight cord, tho it is like a 6-8ft cord, isntead of the regular model has the coiled cord.

i got mine for $107 free shipping from amazon!

Is there a drastic difference between coiled and straight cords?

Yeah guys, They look like a great thing to cop this week, but I'm mostly going to be using them for gigs and producing. They are a good pair for Djing though?
