Be honest with me, are these headphones a meme? I bought into

>>55971942
they are fine.

>>55971942
they're okay for the price. a bit uncomfortable and bass heavy, but better with an amp

>>55971942
They've fallen out of grace here since they got too popular and the price went up.

>>55971942
your only alternative was the th02 but their build quality is shit.

I find their sound to be on par with equally priced Sennheisers, but they're uncomfortable around my ears after a few hours of listening. It's like an over-ear headphone that stopped just short of going fully over.

>>55971942
overpriced as fuck
>$160
Not even worth it for $100

>>55972039
>tfw got them for $80 on a holiday sale

Says he bought sennheiser, posts an image of audio technical. You either trolling or got a chinese fake.

They're unusable with the stock pads. I replaced them with soundprofessionals cloth ones not long after buying. Probably paid way too much considering but I enjoy the sound.

I got mine for $135 I think? Blow everything I've ever had prior out of the water but I had only really had like gaming headshits and klipsch s4s so idk.

I really like mine.

apparrently, you can't read.

I have the HD202 for my office work.

I make music and sound effects. they're cheap and not bad.

>>55971942
They've gone up in price and are a bit spendy now.

I have a pair that I've had for about 7 years that I really enjoy, they are about the only headphones I use usually. I also only paid $50 out of pocket for them though.

>>55971942
anyone had both of these to compare?

>>55972277
Interesting. How do you like those pads, I may look into that since I use them at work all day long and some days it kills my earlobes.

What the fuck happened to the price? I bought a pair 6 years ago and they're still fantastic

>>55971942
Yes.

>not falling for the beyermeme

>>55973718
I have these. They're pretty good.

>>55971942
They are ok. Bass-heavy though.

>>55971942
They're a meme because they are extremely uncomfortable, get the NVX XPT100 or AKG K553 instead.

so much more options now that they're not worth it. They used to be on sale a shit ton, I picked up mine for $75 but now its definitely not worth

>>55973718
God tier

>>55972962
Yes. The bass is incredibly over saturated in those. I tried going back to them just a little while ago and it was awful. However they are grade a comfy.

>>55974633
I think they're comfy af, ymmv.

>>55971942
I have the ATH-M50x, I like it quite a lot, I picked mine up while I was visiting Japan because it was cheaper there.

I'll be getting velour pads for them later on

>>55971942
The stock pads are uncomfortable, but with the shure HPAEC840 it's good

>>55972962
Haven't used the first, but the the 500 is the most comfy headphone since ever. Literally (literally) used them until they were worn out completely. Then they got discontinued or whatever and I regret not getting a second pair back when

Like the other anon said, the bass is very saturated, even in music that doesn't call for it. Guess it grew on me though.

>>55972021
just my $0.02 but I find them perfectly comfortable, i've worn them for 9-10 hours almost non-stop at work numerous times and they're fine. I can't wear glasses with them though.
