ATH-M50x Velour Ear Pads

Apr 2, 2017

Just pointing out that these earpads are no different than the stockpads when it comes to comfort... My ears usually hurts after 40 minutes of usage. If you're planning to spend on earpads for over $20 for your m50x, then I recommend you to get brainwavz hm5 Pleather pads, hm5 Velour pads, or hm5 Hybrid pads.

FabajGet the Brainwavz hm5 pads series, they go over your ear so your ears won't be bothered by the clamping force

KITTYwould you be able to comment to the sonic differences between the hm5 and these as the hm5 are about 2x larger?
Edit: i am referring to hm5 velour**

expontheriseEh.. to be honest, I'm not a big fan of M50x when it comes to sound quality since it has no sound stage and it sounds a bit harsh to me. These hm5 earpads will make the M50x sound worse since the foam is so thin compared to stock earpads. You're sacrificing sound for comfort pretty much. If you're confused with what I meant by foam, I'm talking about the black area around the earpad where the headphone driver will be touching, I recommend grabbing one of these if you're planning to use one of hm5 earpads. And yes they're about 2x or a bit much larger. There will be a significant difference when it comes to comfort. I can wear them for hours. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Thin-Thick-Inside-Foam-Disk-Ear-Pads-For-K240-K241-K270-K271-K272-Headphons/261502601774

KITTYHi Kitty! Wich hm5 pad do you think is more comfortable, for an ATH-MSR7: Pleather, velour or Hybrids?

Vote

Apr 4, 2017

calebguadaHey! I would go for Velour or Hybrids. It's more breathable and won't get hot quickly like the Pleather. But I use Pleather just for the design haha.

KITTYThanks for your reply. I know what you mean. I wish there where more color options for the hybrid version. Btw they are a little expensive.

calebguadaKitty is rhere any way that you could tell me what do you think about ATH-MRS7 vs AKG-K553

Vote

Apr 6, 2017

calebguadaEh, It is $6 more expensive than the one they're selling here. It's worth it tho, I wouldn't be disappointed. I'm currently on a tight budget since I'm a college student and my tuition is almost $60K a year... so I try to get the best cans I can get for affordable price. When I'm out I usually take my Noble X IEM with me and at home I use my HD6XX. And you're welcome by the way :)

Chiquito3If I had to put it in a simpler term, then MRS7 lacks bass compared to K533 (Also, MRS7 is more expensive), but the sound is similar to the K553 Pros and it's beneficial since you can remove the cable, better portability, and enough accessories to make sure you have what you need. Has Clear & Open sound and decent detail. MRS7 is more comfortable than the K533. K533 might be durable, but it can be uncomfortable for certain people since there isn't enough patting on the top of the head and I heard the ear pads wears off quickly compare to other products (It's always replaceable) and surprisingly thin. K533, for this price... there’s not really anything to complain about. They sound great, plain and simple.... Oh and it's HUGE!

KITTYI had all of those, as well as the angled pad. The HM5 is the most comfortable, but it makes my M40X sound so tinny. It lose a lot of mid and low. Angled HM5 is okay, but still lose a lot of sound. I now use a copy of the MSR7 pads found on Amazon. Its a compromise of comfort and sound quality.
There are 2 things I found that change the sound quality the most. Thickness of the pad (distance between your ears and the driver) and the material. Most pads are too thick, if you want to know what it sounds like, move headphone half and in away from your ear. Leather pads have more boom. Velour has more clarity.

Ringing in PC38X's

I recently got this headset, and wow is it good. My only issue is when certain people talk on discord, I can hear a really high pitched ringing. I fiddled with a bunch of settings, computer audio and discord, and nothing seems to solve the issue. It is primarily if not all in my right ear only. Is there something wrong with my headset, or was that ringing always there I can just hear it cause the headset is THAT good? I haven't had any issues with any other application, though I have yet to test if I can hear the ringing on a different version of discord, say on my xbox instead of my pc. Only other issue I've had is occasional static, but I can't tell if it's from the headset or the show/game/etc.

Sennheiser PC37X randomly goes bad after disconnecting the cable ?

Greetings, Yesterday I was using my headset like normal with my macbook, just listening to music and on a call with people like usual, and the headset was perfectly fine. The stock wire that came with the headset is extremely long and yesterday it annoyed me very much that it kept getting tangled with itself, so I decided to see if the cable is replaceable. I pulled out the cable from the headset and saw the adapter, and looked online for a replacement. Upon plugging it back in, the audio sounded extremely muffled and washed out. Im not sure what I did wrong to make it mess up like that as I've always taken good care of it, ive had it for about 2 years and its always just been chilling on my desk, but anywho I thought the cable just went bad and ordered a replacement. The replacement came, and the issue is still persistant, so I am not sure what the issue is I've tried multiple different headsets and the issue is not with the port, and I also tried it with my windows laptop and...

Big changes coming to my tiny little music room, I've recently purchased a new stack. Currently figuring out where to locate it all and ordering up the necessary cables, it won't be too long before I'm up and running. I am now the proud owner of a brand new stack. It's a European brand called Earmen. Amp, DAC, Streamer & Linear Power Supply. It won't be long!

Recommendation for my next headphone set? I have Koss 95x

Hey all, What would you recommend I get next and why? I have Koss ESP-95x electrostatic massdrop headphones. These are my first and only audiophile set. I love them. I think my only real requirements is $500 or less for the headphones and that they have a little more low end. I don’t need thump but these are really light on lows…but the experience is still awesome. Also any recommendations on an amp? I only have my electrostatic thingy. I am using the Topping D50 DAC. thx!!

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?

I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.
