metal571 lol. Btw I felt the K371s were too Bassy? What do you think of the NAD HP50 and the PSB M4U1s as alternatives. They were super expensive a couple years ago but they’re relatively cheap now. would appreciate your opinion!
@@keshavrai4621 both too uncomfortable to use for me, and M4U1 is very prone to cracking. HP50 especially bad on comfort with tiny pads and the stage isn't very impressive
metal571 right. That’s a shame. Do you know any alternatives with better soundstage and a neutral sound that are closed? I think I could put up with the discomfort and quality of the PSBs but that’s only if the sound is worth it.
@@keshavrai4621 no. K371 is as neutral to the Harman response as I know under 200 for a closed back. If you want something good but brighter there's still K553 mk2 aka K550 mk3
metal571 sorry to keep bothering you but would you be able To recommend anything better in the $200-$300 price range that are better? I don’t mind brighter headphones but I’m also looking for good soundstage and clarity. Something closed and easily drivable by an iPhone 11. Not too much bass.
I went into a store, Sam Ash, looked at their headphones and got recommended the m50x. Went home listen to a couple songs I know pretty well on Tidal Hi-Fi. I returned them right the next day. I think they're the Beats of the audiophile world.
I’ve been using em for like 3 years. Liked em at first. Now that I’m diving balls deep into mixing, I realize I can’t hear shit. Mix my song for like 3 hours. Think it sounds like crap. Pull up a reference song and it also sounds like crap. My buddy showed up with some beyerdynamics and I nearly shit my pants. I was always told that the athm50x’s were good. But naw. They sound about as clear as my $30 kz earbuds. Now I’m just hyping myself up before I spend way too much money on a new headphone setup.
I'm loving what I'm seeing here bro! I also agree with being respectful of the opinions of others in regards to personal preference. Keep up the great work dude.
This cleared up a lot of audiophile jargon. You're a great teacher. You should make a video of popular headphones that are exemplary of certain signatures. Extremely dark, great imaging but poor soundstage, etc.
I like your opening point and I wish I would have known it when I first got into this hobby. I now understand what everyone means when they say the M50x has "mono-like" soundstage.
Thanks DMS, I always enjoy these informative vids since I always have a hard time explaining this stuff to friend who like to get into this hobby we enjoy. So thanks and keep em coming
Like many others, I discovered your channel through the Linus collab. After binging some of your vids, I can definitely say I'm a fan. Can't say the collab was a match made in heaven though lol, but I'm definitely glad it happened. Keep up the good work man, and this video really came out at the perfect worst time. Right when I told myself I was gonna start being financially responsible. :P
You should check out Zreviews too. To my knowledge Z and Dms are good friends but Z is just raw, uncut, un editited pure from his mouth and a great style of video imo. Long and almost always just talks about audio.
They're incredibly good hes just an opinionated a hole about it Like what you like, they're good for budget range, and many great sound engineers used them for many famous songs, I dont understand why people are azz holes to others about simply liking a pair of cans
Excellent explanation. I learned a lot today! Thanks for your hard work. Found you thanks to your collaboration with Linus. Ended up scrapping my plans to buy another "gaming headset" for Christmas and instead went with a nice pair of open-backs with great imaging and low enough impedance for my little FiiO E10K to power them.
tbh I'm not a fan of the video shaking effect. I know its meant to make the video feel more casual and off the cuff but I much preferred the more professional look of your older ones.

@@CocoKoi321 funny how you mention xm4s, when xm4 itself is a crap headphone lol. bloated bass and nothing else. if you like bass boosted and bloated stuff i can see how you would like both xm4s and the m50x since both have a heavy emphasis on nothing but bass
If you really like music the only thing someone starting out needs to know is find something thats comfortable and sounds good for your type of music or particular application. That's basically everything the casual listener needs to know. A pair of headphones that are comfortable to wear should be the first consideration. Then sound and cost. No matter how great a pair of phones sound. If you can't comfortably wear them then they are useless. Forget about neutrality unless you're planing on being an audio engineer and mixing live or recorded sound. What an engineer needs and what a music lover needs are two different things. No two peoples ears are the same. what sounds good to you may not sound good to me. An engineer listens to music at high volumes. Their cans need to be neutral . They aren't enjoying the music they are listening for defects.
Nice job dude. 😎 I like vids such as this...aimed at assisting newcomers, hence bringing better quality sound to the masses. Thoughtfully explained, not overly technical, but enough to cut the mustard for most newcomers. Happy listening all. 🎧🎧🎧
Victor Martinov being an audiophile isn't about the equipment you own, it's about deeply appreciating music and sound. If you appreciate and love both of those and want to listen to music in as high a quality as possible, then you're an audiophile, welcome :)
You son of a b.. I’ve tried to by my friends headphones (I’ve since just bought something that they’ll most likely enjoy and they have) and try to explain to them some audio terms to better get headphones that suit their preference but almost ALWAYS end up rambling about a specific topic and just end up confusing them by jumping back and forth. I’ll just force them to watch this lol. Great vid my dude
Can someone explain to me why the m50x's are bad? I know from using my friends that I don't like them, mainly due to painful highs and just overall the sound seems to smush together, theres no separation. But ive seen 3 videos now of dms saying he hates them, and I cant find out why he does

Hey DMS - since you’re talking about basics, perhaps you could remember to include manufacturers when to talk about models. Simply reading off models numbers means nothing to anyone apart from those in the know, and they may not need your videos anyway
I never able to hear sound stage with headphones. I'm audiophile i love headphones but to me all sound like headphones on your head , yes i hear sound than seems inside my head and sounds than seems outside my head but still very close to my ears ,like max 5 centimeters away , but i never heard that type of real speakers soundstage

Since you're planning to release a vid on your headphone picks at different price points, would you be doing one on amps and/or dacs too? And what are the pros and cons of going for amp/dac combos compared to buying stand-alone?
There are a couple comments in here on Beats and some other headphones. I tell my used to tell my students all the time how awful sounding they were. I told them I could buy a pair of headphones from 5 Below (for those that don't know, it's like a souped-up $ store). I brought in 3 pairs and the general consensus was that they sounded better, but not enough bass.....
Need advice for next step? I have numerous headphones and amps, but nothing comes close to my speaker setup, there is no headphone, which does good sub bass(20Hz-80Hz) . Now I cannot use any of my headphones without heavy EQ: Soundmagic E10, Superlux HD-668B, Tin Hifi P1, Massdrop 58X, Denon AH-D750, Koss Plug, Koss KSC35, Sony WH-1000Xm3 and on goes the list.
Your headphone list is noob, why don't you sell all that crap and buy some from the higher end? You either have lots of shit or just 1 but near perfect, thats the mindset.
Please take a look/do a comparison of the DT 177x GO vs the DT 1770 Pro - interested to see what you think and if the 177xs improved upon the things you didn't like in the 1770s.
"Roll off" is part of the frequency response that dips down and keep dropping significantly. Bass tends to go in straight lines and doesn't reflect while high pitches do. Think about a subwoofer and running a range of frequencies through it the higher the pitch the less sound will be reproduced by the subwoofer. If you looked at the frequency response you'd see a "roll off" towards the higher frequencies.
www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/audio-technica-ath-m50x-vs-beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro/295/440 m50x looks the same on paper, I have no idea why they hate on m50x and still recommend DT 770?!

2025 The hardest thing when you are audiophile is explaining other normal people (family friends ) why you neeed another headphone if you already have another 5.7.10 or 250 like zeos pantera , most people out of this hobby think we all are crazy or dumb
I did sub BTW. Like your takes. PS. Luv to see you review maybe some more creative unique, unusual DAC Amp hook-ups/pairings. Creative in a sense. Just like that stuff. Not much on TH-cam for that. Zeos has done tad here and there, on the fly in reviews. Now I get not all Dacs pair nicely to certain Amps; and some are made to thrive more so with others. Having said this, hence, why I'd like to see more creative hook-ups. Creative, in that they combine well together, and aren't usually always thought of in a pairing or stacking. Rather, than just the jds and schitt stack (which are fine); or the common ones (and I have no beef with them); but would like to see some unique ones, that play good together. Just my thoughts. Thanks man. Great stuff. Know I'm late on this vid. Catching up. 🤘🏼👌🏼✌🏼
How much do your ear rings actually bother you when listening to music on some headphones. Maybe my ears are just big and the stretched lobes just make it worse but I battle to get my ears into some cups.
I still don't really understand the definition of "grain". I originally thought it talks about the definition of treble is hazy and "low-fi" but the more I listen to, the more it is caused by thr recording itself. So, I will be much appreciated if you can explain the meaning of grain !
That's one of those things where you just have to hear a headphone that has less of it to really understand. It has nothing to do with frequency response at all. Everything just sounds clearer with less fuzziness to the sound no matter if the headphone is brighter or darker
It's like when you listen to beats headphones a lot of it sounds kind of muddy and not very clear even though it may sound exciting, "fun" and really bassy it's just not good quality or detailed at all. That is an example.
why does everyone keep saying the mayflower arc is affordable? like i get that it's not expensive compared to really high end ones, but $250 is a hell of a lot of money to most people
I mean a schiit stack is the bottom of the barrel and it’s already $200. A lot of good amps by themselves run from $300 to thousands not even counting a dac.
May you give me an advice? Porta Pro KTC x JBL Quantum 200? SPECS: Porta Pro KTC On ear 15Hz to 25kHz 101dB/mW 67g (weight) 44mm (driver diameter) 60ohms Quantum 200 Over the ear 20Hz to 20kHz 100dB/mW 245g 50mm 32ohms (I bet this is a huge difference) Thank you very much

No subtitles 😔
What does it mean when they say it has a good punch?
Great video as usual D!! ✌️✌️ PEACE ✌️✌️
"m50x are bad"
then what do i buy for good closed back headphones (for a laptop with maybe an audioquest dac in the future)
M40x or DT 770
@@jaxmanf are you sure an audioquest dragonfly can amplify a DT 770?
Plus I already own my m50s and don't mind them
www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/audio-technica-ath-m50x-vs-beyerdynamic-dt-770-pro/295/440 m50x looks the same on paper, I have no idea why they hate on m50x and still recommend DT 770?!
really great soundstage , great detail too!

The a hole in this vid even crap shoots himself saying this 5:30
They're incredibly good for budget and I am sure many famous songs were monitored ON m50s,
They're incredibly good hes just an opinionated a hole about it
Like what you like, they're good for budget range, and many great sound engineers used them for many famous songs, I dont understand why people are azz holes to others about simply liking a pair of cans
I had m50s for 6 years and put them down after I got the sony XM4s
They're great for people getting into good audio cause they're such a small v shape sound that its flat but had a fun kick to it, I hate the overly mid bass from the m40s and I also bought the m50xbt but dont use them lol
They good, just this goon is a goon
I cant respect dms for berating others for what they like
Yeah, a good amp and dac probably won't hurt sound quality, but they sure can put a dent in my pocketbook.
yeh some of that is going over my head :) :p, the term mid forward I imagine I am sitting in the middle of the room or a bit forward from that.
Nah, it means the mid range frequencies have more "volume" overall than the bass or the treble frequencies.
2025 The hardest thing when you are audiophile is explaining other normal people (family friends ) why you neeed another headphone if you already have another 5.7.10 or 250 like zeos pantera , most people out of this hobby think we all are crazy or dumb
Hi! Is it recommended for me to get topping d90 dac and topping headphone a90 amp?
Just don't like how the camera always move.
Nice video good job
I said that once and i am going to say it again why you start to prefer hd 880 600 ohm over the hd 650 ???
I did sub BTW. Like your takes.
PS. Luv to see you review maybe some more creative unique, unusual DAC Amp hook-ups/pairings. Creative in a sense. Just like that stuff. Not much on TH-cam for that. Zeos has done tad here and there, on the fly in reviews. Now I get not all Dacs pair nicely to certain Amps; and some are made to thrive more so with others. Having said this, hence, why I'd like to see more creative hook-ups. Creative, in that they combine well together, and aren't usually always thought of in a pairing or stacking. Rather, than just the jds and schitt stack (which are fine); or the common ones (and I have no beef with them); but would like to see some unique ones, that play good together. Just my thoughts. Thanks man. Great stuff. Know I'm late on this vid. Catching up. 🤘🏼👌🏼✌🏼
Do those earlobes alter the sound in any way when you're listening to headphones? Honest question. They look like they might.
Nope! Done them in and out dozens of times. Even spent hours running sweeps and trying to measure it. No change in results.
Straight out the gate "AT50x are bad" 🤣 they were my first set of headphones and i remeber thinking "omg these sound so clear"
You could do tutorials, lessons and everything in between about headphones, speakers and sound in general.
Im not one to blow smoke up asses, but I appreciate it cuz... it's a lot to wade through being new to the community. This definitely helped.
@DMS what is the wood stand you're using and where can I get one?
How much do your ear rings actually bother you when listening to music on some headphones. Maybe my ears are just big and the stretched lobes just make it worse but I battle to get my ears into some cups.
I still don't really understand the definition of "grain". I originally thought it talks about the definition of treble is hazy and "low-fi" but the more I listen to, the more it is caused by thr recording itself.
So, I will be much appreciated if you can explain the meaning of grain !
That's one of those things where you just have to hear a headphone that has less of it to really understand. It has nothing to do with frequency response at all. Everything just sounds clearer with less fuzziness to the sound no matter if the headphone is brighter or darker
It's like when you listen to beats headphones a lot of it sounds kind of muddy and not very clear even though it may sound exciting, "fun" and really bassy it's just not good quality or detailed at all. That is an example.
Is the video on the Mayflower Arc out?
why does everyone keep saying the mayflower arc is affordable? like i get that it's not expensive compared to really high end ones, but $250 is a hell of a lot of money to most people
I mean a schiit stack is the bottom of the barrel and it’s already $200. A lot of good amps by themselves run from $300 to thousands not even counting a dac.
Mr speakers ether flow c are amazing closed back headphones. Every other set I own is open back. But I put them in my top 3
Very well explained!
great video! ... could use a little less camera shake next time 😅
May you give me an advice?
Porta Pro KTC x JBL Quantum 200?
SPECS:
Porta Pro KTC
On ear
15Hz to 25kHz
101dB/mW
67g (weight)
44mm (driver diameter)
60ohms
Quantum 200
Over the ear
20Hz to 20kHz
100dB/mW
245g
50mm
32ohms (I bet this is a huge difference)
Thank you very much
The camera shake is messing with me
$20 this guy is gonna hit 100k within 1/4 of a year from now…
