How are these headphones compared to the Ath-M50s?

I have both, and prefer the m50's. I produce music so i needed something with a flatter response, so that is why the m50's are better to me. But the 700s are, I guess, a more fun headphone if you are a basshead who doesn't really need to mix or master. The comfort issue with the 700s can be rectified by purchasing a set of m50 pads. They feel about the same to me, but I use m50 pads for both of mine.

The pros are noticeably tighter and have better bass and some argue the mids aren't as good as the M50s. M50s are better for long periods such as studio time but pros are better for shorter, due to the rather tight headband on the pros. I'd recommend the pros

The pros hurt my head. I liked the bass signature better than the M50s, but I sent them back. If your looking for a good, standard HIFI, neutral can, then the M50s are really good. Frankly, you can't go wrong with them. I was going to buy them, then I found another set that I fell in love with (Phillips Fidelio L1s).

The pro700's had more bass to them but it really muffled the other ranges to the point that I really didn't like the sound. The ATH-M50's are my favorite headphone I've tried yet. Good rounded sound but decent bass too. I love them. Also the M50's are much more comfortable.

I own both headphones and i can say without a doubt the PRO 700s are a step up from the M50s in sound quality, especially bass. Their drivers are 53mm compared to the m50s 45mm drivers and this can be heard immediately in a comparison test. Comfort wise the m50s win. The PRO 700s are my favorite and can be fitted with the more comfortable M50's pads.

I do own the Audio Technica M50 and it dose have a great impact on the sound. I recently returned the fiio because to me I hear no difference listening through my Galexy S5. The built in DAC in the phone sound good as with the Fiio. To me the only advantage the Fiio has is the built in amp alone. Other then that it sound the same. One thing I notice is that when you use it with the smart phone and listen like Pandora, you will get EMI interfaces from time to time, especially when recieving signal. Again, recommended head phones? M50 OR M50X you will be impressed with the sound. Beats is all cosmetic and its not detailed when it comes to sound quality.

All of the "Audio Technica" merchandise I've purchased in the past has been Class "C" type stuff. This set of headphones gives great sound. The only thing I find less-than-perfect is the weight. At times, when I look down at my keyboard, they'll fall forward, so I keep them on the back part of my head. Since I've never used the ATH M50, I can only say the the SRH840 is an excellent set of headphones.

I have the ATH-PRO700MK2's and the sound quality is amazing. great noise cancellation. great for pre-master mixing and imaging. i would recommend with 5 stars

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 both and Audio technica ATH m50 wins sound quality wise. V-Moda wins looks wise.

by far the M50's. They contour the shape of your ear rather then jabbing your ear like the pro700

I have the e10 with my M50's are enhanced a good bit with it. You will notice the difference in music, mostly increasing the the lows and a little of the highs. Gaming isnt much difference unless it is a game with explosions, which will cause the "booms" to blow you away :) Overall, yes, the M50's will sound better on the e10, just not as big of a difference as the more expensive hphones.

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.

Thank you for your inquiry. The M40x headphones feature an improved headband and earcup (for comfort) over the M50 and are also tuned flat, ideal for studio applications. For a more in-depth comparison, feel free to check out the video below. Please let us know if you have any other questions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uB-JC2b_pbU

They fit but loosely. They are also significantly worse at deadening external noise vs the stock earpads. I found this to be detrimental to the sound quality of the headphones, and for that I would not recommend them for the M50X/S. Stick with the stock ones, you'll be happy you did.

Really Idont know sol republic, but when I say that this headphones are for dj, that means that they dont have the crisp sound of the ATH-M50X, HDJ200, the high frequencies are less clear for my taste. so If you are looking for that kind of sound , this (For my judgement) arent for you. but If you are looking for a solid construction , clear bass lines at high volume without distortion, without to take off an eye of your self to pay, this are your headphones.

I have only used the ATH-M50's a couple of times and it was through a smartphone so I don't feel that I can adequately answer the question.Sorry.

I am sorry, I do not know. We only sell professional headphones, and the Beats are consumer products. If you search for "comparison between ATH-M50 and beats" I am sure you will find info. It seems like the Beats are popular - more for style than sound quality.

The bass is very heavy due to the 50 mm drivers, but you can always tune it down if your device has an EQ. Mainly these are for bass heads lol

they are completely different. M50 are closed, transportable, rugged - better for dj, on the move...K701 are for home use only. max comfort, open (=of course much better sound). Adam, in-ear.com

Depends on what you want. I like my pro500mk2 but i believe they have better lows. If you want highs go with the m50's if you want bass go with the pro500mk2's
