They claim to be "sound guys" so you would think they could put on headphones on the correct way... he is wearing them backwards at 3:10... nice job sound guys... truly nice job

You should try wearing the headphones correctly, not backwards.

[imbaAntares]

Why are you wearing the headphones backwards?

Sound Guys  Seriously awesome review! I found Kevin's review more exciting to watch than Chris's review of the Skullcandy Crusher headphones, with the different displays and angles of the headphones being shown. It wasn't just a few of the same rolling shots over and over. In addition we saw the headphones actually being worn more than once and on different people. The content of the reviews were both great, however I did like more how Kevin highlighted certain strengths or weaknesses of the headphones, and gave certain songs as examples and when they occurred in the song. It pointed me to a certain place to look in a song and compare rather than a simple check the description explanation. Good job guys!

Eureka!! I've been wading through a lot of crap on YouTube to find somebody who does decent reviews of headphones.
Good job!

Wow. What a cool video. The presentation was the best I've seen for reviewing a product. Congratulations on executing a very well done and extremely effective product review for the ATH - M50x BL headphones. I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

I've been saving for these for a couple of weeks now. Last weekend I sat next to someone in a hospital waiting room who was wearing these. He said he liked them so much that he bought a second pair. He said he appreciates the set coming with 3 deatchable cables. He mentioned that it took 3 weeks of "burn-in" time for the headphones to begin sounding their best. He also mentioned the the m50x ear pads were much more comfortable than the original M50 earpads.

Currently I'm using an inexpensive but amazing sounding pair of Phillips SHP 2600's and listening to a group called Dadub. Tracks Ilya and also Beyond The Veil sound utterly stunning on headphones. It's the most unique sounding electronic music I've ever heard.

It seems like these tracks from Dadub could be a really good way to get a feel for the sound of a set of headphones. If this sounds as good on a pair of walmart headphones, I can't imagine how this would sound on the ATH M50x.

Your reviews are profesional in every aspect not tedious or boring, I think I found my new tech favorite channel. Keep the amazing work.

I like how you're covering monitors and talking about style so much.

[StoyanAngelow]

Awesome video! In depth, with great editing, good job!

[TheSterlingArcher]

Ok, these are not flat. True audiophile reviewers on Youtube will always point this out, and most are even critical of the sharp highs (including myself) that result in plenty of sibilance.

hey...great review...i just ordered one after looking at your review..i was waiting for the blue color to come up in the Amazon store in India and it showed up just 1 day back so iv ordered it and waiting for mine to be delivered!! Super Excited!!

I really like the way this video review was put together. It was eye candy, and the thumbs made me go, "Ha! This guy!" Real nice all around.

[andycarter]

One of the best reviews I've see, I've just ordered a set, thanks for uploading this review.

This is how a review should be done. He was thorough, and even included music references, to help quantify his review on certain performance aspects.

[hayksamvelyan]

You have a typo in your Sound Quality rating, so I'm not sure which one you meant to keep.

At 3:29, you rated the headphones at 8.8, but at 5:30, it says 9.2

This is a very good review. I own a pair of ATH-M50x BL.  
As for the "tightness" issue, I know exactly what is being described, but using an old receiver as a headphone amp (Kids, most old receivers have excellent headphone amps built in) I do not experience this with my pair.
The ear pads are not true leather, but are a very soft, comfortable leatherette nylon material. A bit more durable, still very soft and very comfortable. I agree 100% with the rest of the review.

[Enigmaad]

From pictures online the Blue ones seem to have thicker ear cup padding than the regular Black. Is this so? Also what's the difference between the 2 other than the colour?

[kaiserwiz]

like how you go in depth to explore the headphones capability for the different genres of music!
