I know the Sony XM5s are getting a ton of hype right now, but after my M4s just bricked after barely 4 months i've decided i aint buyin shit until its been out for at least a few years so i can see how they hold up

so, fellow commie audiophile dorks, what headphones are yall using/recommending?

      I bought an ATH-M50 over a decade ago and aside from needing to replace the foam cups they're still going strong. Well worth buying imo.

      ATH-M30

      so these are more like studio production headphons, yeah? I think i used these when i was trying to produce/record shit, horribly

        Yeah i think so, my DJ friend gave them to me because they were just collecting dust at his place and I’ve been using them for at least 5 years. Good sound quality and really long cable.

        They can get a bit uncomfortable after a long period but that’s probably more to wear on the ear padding

        Would def recommend at this price less than $40

          yeah this is solid, thanks dude. im actually about to start getting into audio production again and might splurge on some mid-tier audiotechnicas for that reason alone

      Second the ATM-M30x.

      Def get the wedge ear cups too, make a huge difference to comfort and sound isolation.
