Review on Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Professional Monitor Headphones + Slappa Full-Sized HardBody PRO Headphone Case Bundle by Michael Syph

**UPDATE** After overcoming the "shiny object syndrome" I had when I first received these headphones, I reconsidered my relationship with these headphones. I found them to have the worst V-shaped sound signature of any pair of headphones I've owned. Mids are literally non-existent and have an extremely narrow soundstage. In addition, they are uncomfortable to wear for a long time. If you like that kind of sound signature, they might work for you, but not for me. I will buy a pair of Pioneer DJ HRM-6 instead. Where have you been all my life? To be honest I put them on and listened to my first song (through the fire and flames of Dragonforce of course) and gosh these things are amazing. There are literally whole new levels to the song, instruments I've never heard before, subtle channels of sound, I'm hooked. And that's coming from someone who already owns HyperX Clouds, which are great headphones in their own right. These things are amazing, I was concerned that the bass might not be enough, but it is enough and it NEVER goes beyond the mids or highs. Every sound is very accurate, the only thing is that the mids are slightly reduced, but if you really care, you can safely EQ them back. These are great headphones, I'm so glad I bought them. They also seem to block out ambient noise very well, I'll be testing them on the plane in a few months. The hard case is also very high quality and seems to last a long time.
