Audio Technica ATH-M50x vs Neumann NDH 20

There’s a little of the upper mids sucked out which most people won’t want anyway. Also, they are super easy to drive, so no need for an amp. Noise isolation is mediocre. Overall, a perfect headphone for your average person who “wants a nice pair of headphones” but doesn’t want a big commitment

These cost $4.99 These are not inexpensive headphones, but the second you hear them, you know exactly where every cent of your money went. So just thr...

(score: 90/100 points) Pros –It does a variety of tasks really good with no real weakness at anything. It’s best for listening enjoyment…not professional studio monitoring as advertised. It has very warm sounding vocals, a balanced sound (with very slight favor to lower mid range & upper bass), and comfortable (loose) fit on my ears/head. It handles thick, polyphonic music passages with ease without distortion…while keeping the main melody/vocals volume and tone quality still cutting through with warmth

What we are after is accuracy, and this means across the entire audio spectrum. We can't use exaggerated low end or hyped high end, and we certainly can't use dramatically filtered high end. We can hear the high end, but as if attenuated. There was absolutely no "air" in the sound -- no clarity

If you are a travelling person that is exposed to lots of noisy situations the qc15 or the and-9's are the better fit for you. I myself transit much of the time. However, the loudness at which I play my music blocks out much of the noise (with the m50s which is around 50%). It all depends on how much noise that surrounds an individual

So good! They don’t overhype any particular frequency range. They block out most room noise. Love these for all purposes including music, gaming, movies. I own a few other midrange headphones and these are my go to for everything! They are fairly comfortable

They are a bit muted in the sound signature which can make them less fatiguing than other, more analytical, headphones. Mids - A bit to high level for me, it tended to make punk rock music sound very close and muddied Lows - A bit boomy but very spacious Audio Technica ATH M-50x Highs - Quite good representation, a bit cold though Mids - Nothing special, no major issues though Lows - Too over-emphasized -----------------Comfort--------------- Beyerdynamic DT 770 - Winner Perfect. I wore these on multiple occasions for more than 7 hours and never noticed any pressure points or discomfort. The headband is larger than average to distribute the pressure

I Have tried this in a lot of listening environments with a lot of different musicians and closed back. NDH 20 Neumanns Rock. Alright gang, until next...
