How do these compare to "Audio Technica" headphones in Audio quality?

As others have said it depends on the music. If I wanted to listen to hip-hop, some jazz, and percussion mostly, I'd get the Beats. But if I wanted to listen to pop, most rock, country, or classical, I'd go with AT, Grado, or Sennheiser

I tried both and took the M50 home with me. Half the price and a much more accurate sound profile. I don't really listen to rap but I do lot of everything else, more comfortable than the AKG K701 I owned previously too.

The only ones I've heard is the m50 and its near as good in every range other than bass and a real pair of beats only has the meanest bass I've ever heard in headphones.

Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about. The cheap AT cans I take with me to monitor ENG interviews are just as good as my BeatsPro for that application. They fall apart when compared in a studio mixing setting where I expect to hear all of the frequencies with no distortion. Beats are known for low end response so they rock for hip-hop/rap/funk. I listen to a lot of film score and jazz on them too. Again, its tough for me to say with certainty that BeatsPros are superior to AT headphones as my AT's cost less than $50 and are for a very specific use. I am btw an AT user for microphones and am a fan of their quality. Id need to know which AT cans you were talking about.

well Beat Pro have a very rich base sound. it truly depends on what kind of music your listing to. I listen to various music and when it came to rock it truly enhanced the drum solos. They are like studio moniters on your head. The Audio Technica i have not had the chance to try which I could be better help here.

Not nearly as good, Audio Technica's are far superior in terms of sound quality.

These have a broader frequency response. i would go with these for sound quality.

I think the quality of the sound the mic transmits is better than the sound of the headphones. These are not audiophile by any means.

These beats are beat, pure garbage, go with Audio technica, pure heavan, you wont be dissappointed.Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Professional Studio Monitor Headphones with Coiled Cable

As others said, the quality on this headphones are great, so probably the issue is in the port of the PC. Please try two things: first try with other headphones in the same PC and compare, and then try your Audio-technica in other PC. This way you can isolate the issue and only then contact your audio store to review the headphones.

In my opinion, yes, it would be better---probably brighter, with better treble and more detail---if that's what you're looking for. Audio Technica cartridges are an excellent value---even the inexpensive models sound great. You might also want to check out reviews of the Audio Technica AT-3482 p-mount cartridge, which features a rare carbon fiber cantilever (said to dampen lingering resonance from pits & scratches.) A lot of people, including me, like that one, too. It's slightly cheaper and might be perfect for your purposes. Actually, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the Audio Technica models. Good Luck---I hope that helps!

I have found these to be tinny. So what you are hearing may be normal. I do not find them to simulate live music. Their greatest quality for me is that they have little to no wire noise when moving, compared to all of my other headphones ranging from Sony to Sennheiser and Bose (which are highly overrated as well).

I have had both and prefer the Audio technica for comfort and noise reduction. The Bose are more streamlined and attractive.

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

I bought these headphones for the sound quality. I had the QC15's for a week, and they did not compare to these headphones. The built-in amplifiers are what set these headphones apart. They bump when you listen to beats, and they're crisp and clear when listening to lighter genre

These are pretty much 'reference' earphones - so they will sound almost exactly as the audio is mastered (generally will sound flat in their response). If you want punchier bass, go for the cheaper SE-315 which are optimized for low-end/bass.

I own both and the Bose absolutely blow the beats out of the water in every way. Much better noise cancellation. the build quality is so much better and so is the sound. the beats sound so muddled out and the bass in them is way to overpowering and it is lagging. in upbeat tracks the beats bass falls way behind while the Bose sound much more tight. and if you ask me i think that the Bose actually look better, there is no douche B on the side of them screaming out hey look at me i paid to much for headphones that sound like crap. really if you want good headphones go for the Bose. or for cheaper and almost better sound quality go for the Audio Technica ATH-M50 I own both and the Bose absolutely blow the beats out of the water in every way.

I have had the Sennheisers and they are far superior to the Pyle. The Pyle go over the ear, but they are not that comfortable and the build quality is questionable. I was only getting one channel until I opened them up and found that one of the wires going to the headphone jack had come off. It was barely soldered on. I fixed it, but these things have been relegated to when I cut the grass or other loud activities because the are just not very good. For listening to music, stick with the Sennheisers. They work very well, are lightweight and great for taking on a plain to muffle the jet engine noise. I have had the Sennheisers and they are far superior to the Pyle.

I'd say they are on par with any other pair of non-noise canceling headphones.

No comparison. These headphones aren't for listening to music in a noisy environment, and they don't have an active (battery powered) noise reduction circuit. They are intended to act as studio monitors, or for a musician who is tracking in a studio and doesn't want to risk noise bleed into the microphones.

The plug in attachment is different,and the quality of headset varies a lot as well as the price,personally I like audio technica headsets.

I think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.
