has anyone tried both these and the Audio-Technica ATH-M30x? i'm trying to decide which one to buy.

These are 2 completely different animals. The m30 are over ear and the 239 are on ear. I love my Sennheisers. I have the m50 and they are pretty good, but heavy. The 239 are what I use at the office.

I ultimately returned the pair I bought. The headphones worked, but the mic on my pair didn't. I probably had a bad set. I bought a plantronics headset, and was much happier.

Hi there, I bought the earphone/head-set for travel purposes (plane and rail) - in noisy environements the music quality is good, the ANC is good as well. But I do not have any experience ie with the Bose stuff since I was looking for something at resonable price. The mechanical quality is fair - the head-set function seems to be broken already- maybe a loose contact. kind regards, Dieter

It depends on what you intend to use them on. I have no experience of the ATH M50, but I do own the Shure SRH440, which would be okay for hifi listening, although it easily slides off the back of the head if you sit right back. I would not recommend it for music production though, as it is very forgiving, and will therefore produce poor mixes and have a tendency to 'big-up' the sound. It would also 'big-up the sound of your voice if you are recording it, thereby producing an underwhelming performance.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

I just read your comments and was wondering which product you were talking about. I also have a hard time finding a bluetooth or head phones that stay on my ears. I have almost completely given up on a bluetooth, but was considering trying one of the bluetooth headsets that go behind your neck or over your head? Any suggestions?

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

Hey Hunter, the sound of these cans are much more balanced than the ATH-M50s (with the NC off, naturally). The treble is much less piercing than the m50s, and the low end is much tighter as compared to the m50s. Especially with the price drop, I would say that the ue6000s are a much better buy than m50s given they are comparably priced.

Get the Audio Technica Ath-es700. For portable use and they sound 20times better and for less money.

Thanks so much. Do you think the BEHRINGER ULTRACOUSTIC AT108 will work? I am looking to spend a little less.

I'm not sure what you are using the headphones for, but I use AKG 240 headphones as a radio disc jockey. It is important I hear the audio clean and at times loud. I have never needed another amplifier. They are comfortable to wear but they do have their own "sound" so you may need a day to get used to them. I have yet to run into anyone that doesn't prefer them over the headphones they have.

The Audio Technica Ath-m50? If so then yes they are the pair I described my review in.

For sound quality, I would go for the AKGs. To me they have a much flatter and cleaner sound and have excellent mids, which is good for mixing vocals especially. The Audio Technicas are good headphones and have better bass, but the mids are a bit recessed so they aren't the best for mixing vocals. However, my experience with the K240s is that the build quality is very poor and they break very easily. The ATH-M50's have much better build quality, so that's another thing to consider. It doesn't matter how good your headphones sound when they're broken. One last thing is that the AKG's are open backed headphones whereas the Audio Technicas are closed back. So if you want to avoid feedback during live recording, the Audio Technicas are the clear choice. I hope this information helps.

I highly suggest these. Logitech G230 Stereo Gaming HeadsetThe TekNmotion ones don't leave enough space for the ears horizontally. The pads are comfortable but small. In the ones I mentioned above the pads are much larger, breath easier and are just as light if not more so. The sound quality is nearly the same. The TekNmotion ones have slightly more bass but not enough to matter in the long run.

That's hard. I'm a huge fan of Shure and am probably the only person who hasn't tried Audio Technica. I'll share a few notes. My Shure 840 have been going up in price. They are solid, big, and a little heavy but really comfortable with no wear fatigue which was critical for me. I wear them all day. Sound is solid and I think - even, maybe a bit flat - so great for monitoring, not quite so great for just enjoying your music. These would sound amazing with a headphone amp but sound good enough that it's been a year and I still haven't bought one. To answer your question directly if I had the money in hand right now I would be on the fence but would try the ATH M50 - just because I haven't tried ATH. That's hard.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D
