" ... Sound is awesome, u can feel every single beat very clearly. ... "
" ... You can hear everything as clear as you can get . ... "
" ... I've been re-listening to my favourite songs. ... "
" ... flat sound very good for production on the go ... "
" ... Im not a professional music artist but just an avid listener. ... I find these headphones really good for listening music and watching movies in surround sound. ... Little heavier than regular headphones (i was using Bose Oe2 before these) ... "
" ... Very good sound quality at this price point ... "
" ... needs 400-500 hours of burn in time to sound good ... "
" ... The sound signature is not really flat but a bit on the bassy side. ... This is actually a good thing as most songs are really enjoyable. ... The clarity of vocals is amazing. ... One thing I felt is that the really high pitched sounds can be intrusive at very high volumes, otherwise these frequencies also sound great. ... but the music is so enjoyable you will soon ignore any distractions. ...

" ... Amazing clarity, not very bass heavy. ... "
" ... these have very good thump and base which is required . ... "
" ... Better than Crossfade LP2 'cause those have a muddy bass-heavy sound signature, and i personally can't appreciate that simply because my taste in music is varied and i wouldn't find myself listening to bass-heavy songs AT ALL TIMES! ... "
" ... Please understand that a song's characteristics make it bass heavy or crisp in its mids or shrill in its highs. ... If it's already tweaked to sound bass heavy, there's not much room left for other frequencies to surface. ... "
" ... Bass is accurate but not heavy . ... "
" ... Awesome bass: Don't go for overpowering bass. ... "
" ... You might find that they're not as bassy, but, if you play music which has actual bass, they can be quite bassy, but it won't emphasise bass by itself. ... "
" ... Not for those who want some pre-built high bass equalizer setting. ... "

" ... This headphone is worth every paisa spent. ... "
" ... Very good sound quality at this price point ... "
" ... * I have written pros and cons below but overall believe it to be a good product for the price but there is too much hype build around it ... "
" ... if you are willing to spend the money i think these will make a good pair of headphone. ... "
" ... These things are worth so much more than their price. ... "
" ... It's quite good, specially when I compare with other hi fi brands of formidable cost! ... "
" ... If you're considering buying headphones under 10k, these should be the easiest decision you'll ever make. ... "

" ... They come with swiveling earcups and can be laid flat on your chest when not in use, which make them great for commuting. ... Also, the earcups provide a really secure and tight fit which is awesome, but if you wear glasses, then they may make you look weird as they press against your ears. ... "
" ... Good level of comfort, no ear pain and crystal clear sound. ... "
" ... I daily use them for approximately 4-5 hours at a stretch, sometimes even more but every time i use them they simply amaze me with their sound quality and deepness, it's like when you are watching a movie in which two persons are conversing with each other, but there's also a subtle whistling sound or a sound of a breeze in the background which you never knew existed until you used these headphones, or like when you are listening to a fine guitar based karaoke and you get to listen the subtlest ... "
" ... Best headphones I've ever used hands down. ... "
" ... 3) COMFORT 6/10 : Not that comfortable. ... This is also subjective depending on your head shape and ear size. ... Some people find it very comfortable. ... "
" ... *Comfortable over-the-ear padding. ... "
" ... They are also well cushioned, not to hurt any part of the head for extended sessions. ... However gradually they loosen up and are comfortable to wear. ... "
" ... But I've figured out that my poor ears have never been used to clear crisp sound and It'll take a few months to get used to it. ... "

" ... Superb piece of equipment ... "
" ... Feels hardy yet compact. ... "
" ... Apart from that, the 32ohm model doesn't come with the velour earpads, which plays a huge factor when it comes to their comfort, since they're popular for their use of velour with their 80/250ohm models, with which you'll require an amp - extra cost incurred, not to mention the 80/250ohm versions are priced higher as it is. ... "
" ... metallic headband can be adjusted to specifications ... "
" ... The build quality is great and the metal grey version looks really awesome. ... They come with a carrying case and 3 detachable cables that are really thick and are very durable. ... The carrying case doesn't provide any protection, but that's okay since the ATH-M50xs are built really well. ... "
" ... Build quality is just awesome ... "
" ... They are made very sturdy. ... Just perfect choice of material. ... "
" ... built quality is good but not as good as the jabra ... "
