I listen to mostly classic rock on my computer and home stereo. How do these compare with the ATH-M30 headphones? Which is better?

I like them . I use them playing live music thru my Amp. I use them when I record my music. I have the 40's and they sound great.

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.

I find them to be great for listening to music on both my iPad and iPhone. I considered the more expensive brands but found the Audio-Technica M30X perfect for my needs.

Tim,I will grant you,headphones are a personal thing.I will say these P7s are some of the best headphones Ive ever had for under $500.Being a guitarist,and I tend to listen to midrange and highs.I will say these can be cranked up very,very loud and no distortion.Do you want a lot of bass? These are very good for bass,but I have not had a chance to hear beats pro,so I really can't compare the two,I have had a lot of different phones over the yearsBose,sony,etc. Are you a drummer or a bass player?I say,if you can, try out both phones before buying.For my ears,I think these P7s are 5 stars.

So, the sound quality is more warmer. Compact and more comfy for your eara defently i couldnot wear the m80s over 30mins and the gap bewtween ears and the head is more closed go with them beleave me! I had alot of headphones to test and theye are one of the best.

is this a serious question? Monster headphones are horrible, if you get these you'll honestly think these are the best headphones in the world, i own a pair of the M30s and they are very good. i'll more than likely pick these up. so if you are considering monster audio and these, dont hesitate buy these right now

I guess you mean M-80 vs M-100. M-80 has more of a overall balanced sound signature, perfect for almost everything, be it classical music or dub step. M-100 is more bass heavy and has been deemed more suitable for similar music, although people who have already dished out $300 for the M-100 would disagree.I own M80 and I've listened to M-100. I would recommend M-80 but for around $90 if you are vigilant and keep an eye out for "As New" on Amazon Warehouse Deals. That's where I found mine two years back, literally brand new for $113.

Hi, Hunter, I'm assuming we're talking about the ANC off situation.The overall SQ, UE 6000 is better than ATH-M50S in my opinion. The bass is actually slightly emphasized, but it's tighter and deeper compares with M50S. It's spacious and has clearer soundstage to me.By the way, it is surprisingly comfortable for long session listening. For the price on Amazon right now, I'll say it's a great timing to buy UE 6000.

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.

I can't comment on the ATH-M50, as I haven't used one yet. The AKG 240 however is a very good set, but I wouldn't use headphones to mix final masters. Especially not when you have to listen to screaming guitars. For tracking vocals you should be carefull as a sensitive mic would "listen" to the headphones too. Not always welcome when recording soft passages. Hope this helps

They do well with rock music. Metal like Dimmu is kind of lost in these. You will love the ear buds for everything else. They are super clear, crisp, and not super bass heavy. Don't get me wrong, you will definately hear bass but you hear everything else as well.

i think akg is better. but if you usually listening music is bass. i recommend you usimg hd598. akg's feature is clear sound not bass sound. it is good at classic, pop song. if you like a movie you should choice the hd598.

Bass is OK for classic rock. It is a good headphone well worth its price. Enjoy!

No, there are better head phones out there. Audio Technica's ATH-M50 have better sound quality for about the same price as the Aviators. I own both. The Aviators will leak sound and do not block out much sound at all, however they have nice sound quality and are very light and comfortable. If you like being unique and stylish these headphones would be great for you, but if you would rather have good sound quality there are much better headphones out there. Obviously the higher the price will usually give you a better product. Whatever suits you sound or style. Hope this helps ;D

I have listened to both on these headphones, and I believe the answer is yes. Mid-range is very good and they also carry enough bass and high tones for individual instruments to be heard well.

The bass is good on the 598s. It goes deep and its very controlled, but you really need an amp to get full bass potential. However, it's nowhere near the bass amount or impact on the M50s. No Sennheiser is. Most open headphones aren't either. You'll be disappointed if you're looking for the same amount of bass. If you're looking for an upgrade to the M50, check out the ATH-A900x. I just bought a manufacturer refurbished pair on Amazon for $95. Comparable to Denon D2000 for 1/3 the price. Similar to M50 sound signature. 90% of the bass, better clarity, better soundstage.

If you want a compromise between sound signature and aesthetics/build then check out the VModa M-80s. They're ON EAR and have a fairly warm and flat sound. They're loved by many audiophile communities who may have mixed opinions on the LPs due to the emphasized lows.They occasionally go for the same price as the LPs new or used.I prefer the sound of Superlux 668b's over the ATH-M50 and they run less than half the price. Terrible to tote on the road though.Also, check out RadioShack and GuitarCenter. There's a good chance that one of them will have a few of those headphones for you to compare.
