Z calling out Marques Brownlee lol
He did on stream yesterday too LUL
He had to drop the M50x shit on Hot Ones.. I was hoping to like him more because of that video and he HAD TO SHILL the M50x...
he is probably getting paid by audio technica for saying the m50 is good
Straight shill
Andras Nelhiebel sure but Marques has listened to many many headphones. If it was someone who doesn't have a frame of reference maybe
oh no, im being sucked back into this hobby again
Sounds like you are being transported by the music and the headphones just vanish into the background.
This is the most emotional review of yours I’ve seen in 18 months
Very specific.
Pragaganant?
Well I hope they live up to this review. I'll know by Thursday when they show up.
jstaff79 every set of ears is a bit different. But the good news is that if you bought them on Amazon you can return them if they aren't to your liking.
Let us know
jstaff79 did you get the headphones?? How are they??
Now do the 20x, 'cause if the 30/50/70 are crap and the 40/60 are nice, the twenties have to be not shit as well, right?
herbstwerk They're pretty fine for 60$, I would and did go for the status cb-1s, but the m20s are actually superior in raw detail, they just aren't as clean.
You got a good profile pic
herbstwerk it must be there m series with even first numbers sound good where odds don't 😂
It's because 30/50/70 is the odd one
I have the m20x and the m40x, the m20x had more bass, that's basically the biggest difference
I love watching your reviews with the sound off
I'm dipping my toes into the mid-range as my m60x's arrived today. Initial impressions are good and I feel Zeo's sums them up rather well in this video. I've been enjoying SHP9500's since May, but I've been longing to take another step forward. Thank you Zeo's for your diligent work and for sharing your expertise with the world.
You were great in Pick of Destiny and Tropic Thunder btw.
Das cold
Hows the bass on these?
"Makes my throat weird"
I rarely leave comments on TH-cam, but you Sir give the absolute best reviews. Keep up the good work.
Time to get these before they are sold out... And they are on the way.
I hope you let us know what they sound like. Enjoyed this video but still have no clue what to expect besides being submerged in water.
I will make sure to give my impressions.
Michael Hatch looooool
Following.
They are here!!!
So weird how light they are. I miss the folding design :(. Ooh they are real comfy, I'm just not used to on-ear headphones. My ears feel hot
Whoa I switched mid song (fragments of time) from the m40x to the m60x. The bass is the first thing I notice. I think they need a burn-in period, because these don't sound nearly as clear as the m40x. In money trees, Kendrick sounds like he is behind something.
*I hate on ear* - Every one in the comment section... of every on ear headphone video ever
Tianbarr Etosebas edgy bro...
Fuck an on ear headphone
Danger Don you too dude. That’s woke and edgy AF.
Danger Don pc millennial language is best...🍻
P.S. your mom gay...
Thank you so much Zeos for another great review! I went immediately to a local audio technica showroom after seeing this review, and boy did the M60x sound amazing. After years developing their "sound reality" series, I guess they've finally figured it out. Totally got your point there, didn't find it necessary at all to dissect the sound; it was just pure pleasure.
I was so ready to get them to replace my AR5BTs (yes I did get bluetooth version thanks to the smartphone industry...), but then I realized that giving the AR5/AR5BTs a better cable takes the sound to a whole new level. Not sure if it's my ears aren't good enough or they're actually good, but the AR5BTs with upgraded cable (HDC1133 from AT as well) also gave me the "IM THERE" feeling, and I'm pretty sure I like them more than my MSR7s, even my isine10s for certain tracks. They do sound a bit colder and harsher than the M60x, but the cable helps a lot. Not sure what the people at AT have been up to, but some brilliant minds hidden in there sure have awakened.
i just got these. coming from M40x and MSR7 (which are close sounding to each other) - VERY clean and natural sound. the imaging! OH! fucking amazing. more detail in highs, less sharp (but better extended) which was kind of a let down on the previous ones, you get the spaciousness, the airness and the vocals just come out of the shell. Comfy. Lighter. Better built. Bass hits a little bit more. They can get a bit hot though. And they dont fold. Reccomendo!
Which one is better? M40x, MSR7 or M60x?
RafadanaM i know old post but had the m40x and was on the fence with the msr 7 and m60x. The difference in sound signature got me sold on the m60x. I just had to have it, its so different than my other headphones that it warranted the purchase.
To cut short, if you have nice headphones and you want something new, go m60x. If its your first dive to audio world, msr7. M40x are great but i like the msr sound better.
Just bought MSR7... Dammit, gotta buy M60x some day, too.
Yes, i do get that. Got a chance to try them out at local computer event and instantly loves the sound of ath m60x. It's so fun, so musical, so forgiving yet detailed, it's one the best natural sounding portable, really. I just think that they need a slight pricing adjustment on these, maybe at $160-170 would be a killer choice for portable headphones.
I don't know how i ended up here but after the review i subscibed
maybe the most valuable decision of your lifetime, also financially
Financially you will get broke. Z makes you buy so many shit. Just when I think I have all the gear I need, he gives you a review like this and you are like whaaaaa I need those.
Hey, Zeos when are you updating your DAC and AMP guide?
My stomach hurts thinking about it
It's hard to buy a dac/amp and match it to your new headphones, probably the higher end cans like planars. A compatibility list would be the best thing ever.
I bought the fostex hpa4bl and they are perfect for my 660's, sucked for my aeon flows. But the 660's and this unit is the perfect daily driver. The button, THE FUCKING BUTTON
Questyle CMA400i, done. 😁
Z likes Made in Abyss... You, sir, are a man of great taste
As soon as I heard the music I knew I liked him.
Start reviewing anime pls
PlanetES please
Big yes.
Yes, agree
Pie Cake no
Z Reviews Do I smell a third channel incoming?
That rollercoaster of emotion at the beginning. "Did he like them?" "Wait, what did he say?" "Say whaaaaaaaaaaaaa?"
Awesome, these are on my wishlist now. I know you normally don't do this, but since you made the review the day after receiving them, a follow-up review in a few months would be great.
I ordered them after this review. I've been waiting months to figure out my next "everywhere, everything" headphones to replace a beat up pair of Grado SR60s... This seemed like a nice time to give something else a shot.
Maybe its because I came from Grados, butmygod, the bass is so soo tight. Sound stage is impressive. The Grados don't even win in the treble range, which has generally been their strength.
They're comfy for on-ears. (I've got big-ass-pointy-elf-ears) Sound solid enough directly from my cellphone port(I listen to headphones while walking my dog and I'm not bringing a DAC/AMP with me...), but GOOD GOD, plugged into my Emotiva BasX A-100 they just go on overdrive. (Should I use the jumpers with the BasX for these headphones? If it'll make them crazier I'm tempted?)
(Been listening to Childish Gambino, Jason Isbell, and a random assortment of indie shit so far with them; Absolutely shined with Gambino (Anything on Redbone), any female vocals and ESPECIALLY "Dance Yrself Clean" by LCD Soundsystem.-- I heard shit in this song that I don't hear on my Kef700s)
I have to say subjectively so that each and every fucking word uttered in this review is true in my experience. Just got them 2 days ago and I still didn't stop playing music all throughout those two days. I've heard pretty much all the portables I could get the hands on myself: H6, H9i, I own momentum 2's, meze 99 neo/classic, CAL! . These have something intangible that just make them better than basically anything portable I've ever tried. They've got the magic and the resolve to hopefully win you over cause they blew me the fuck away quite honestly
Would you say, that these are the best $100-$200 headphones?
Just bought the ATH M60 today, only by recommendation at the store....this is the first review I've watched and ONE... You have a new subscriber....thanks for being real....TWO.....super pumped to hear these!
Thanks!
The more I see this guys reviews and compare them in person the more I realize we have different ideas on what sounds good and not good.
This hobby is just uberly subjective. Warm vs sterile, narrow vs wide, “v” shaped vs neutral, open back vs closed, digital vs vinyl, tube vs solid state, etc, etc.
Pick your poison, there is no right and wrong... just enjoy the music.
Also people's literal hearing can just be different in so many ways. Not like we are all clones with the same brains and experiences, comparing audio devices to see what "truly" does "actually" sound good and bad.
If you can figure out his taste to enough of a degree, then you can still use him as a metric lol.
**** Zeos Pantera Amazon review*** "As I sit here getting ready to review these M60x. I am reminded how disappointed I have been in the MX0x line. Only the M40x get my approval and by such a large margin it is hard to believe how poorly the 30,50 and 70 were. Well It must be all about the even numbers because THESE.. So natural sounding. So spacious. Not the greatest design for portable use (doesn't fold in any way) and it lacks a hard case for the cost. On ear but the perfect amount of clamp and the pads feel fantastic. The imaging is stellar. The clarity, the low end. These are my new favorite SOUNDING closed portable. Over the 1more Triple and B&O H6. These things rock. FFF" Kind of weird reading a Z public "clean" review...lol
You stole this off an amazon review
lol, I copy and pasted it for those who don't do amazon genius, the same day this video was posted. That was the whole point
@@ferro4271 Did you not read the top part of his comment?
Fam this was over a year ago but it's been edited since I commented lol
@@ferro4271 I... did not see that. You have my apologies.
Trust me the cables never get uncurled, I've had the MX50x for years (I know, they suck. I don't even use them) and the cables look the same as the day I pulled them out of the box, all janky any twisty. It wont just be a normal cable lol.
The problem with the M50's sound stems from its pads. Around the time they came out with the x model, they changed the pads to ones that are deeper and more comfortable..but the pads changed the sound signature for the worst.
"Made in Taiwan not China" Zeos the diplomat.
I have tried so many headphones over 20 years. And I always come back to my HD600.
I've bought tons of headphones over 8 years, and I still love my M50.
Picked up a set of these out of curiosity. Loving the sub-bass and soundstage. There is one issue and its with volume; If you keep the volume under a certain level and your recordings are good quality, then these certainly perform. However, these are laid-back and you want to turn them up, and once you do the problem begins.
There is a glare somewhere in the midrange (treble is fine), and when a female vocal or other sound (like a fret-slide) hits this certain frequency, it will hit your eardrums hard unless your volume is set just right. This is where I feel the M60X does not completely escape the flaws of the 45mm M50 driver.
The bass above sub-bass can get a bit cloudy and indistinct at times, but at least it is not muddy like the M50.
Above all, recording quality is a huge factor for these headphones. I was initially going to return them, but for the cost they have remarkable sub-bass (better than a lot of planars), are easy to drive, comfortable and the glare doesn't ruin the sound.
EDIT: Zeos, there is a switch on the left earcup that engages ''hearing protection mode''. It makes the headphones much harder to drive, but if you can power them this way, all the midrange glare disappears and they sound excellent. Not sure if everyone's pair has this glare or if its differences in hearing, but it improves drastically with the protection mode on.
Holy crap man. Good catch. I can def confirm that the switch does help them in those ranges. Can even come close to powering this mobile with the switch enabled. I'd imagine you'd need a hell of a portable amp to power them. I'm at 3 o' clock high gain on my Origen G2.
I auditioned these last week. They had an accentuated bass and treble with a thin / tinny sounding midrange. They were extremely comfortable for on-ear headphones though.
Just got these. God damn! Glad i got to test msr7se vs these. Dont care if its on ear, the sound is just wow!
You are really in the music. Didn’t know what that meant until i heard it. The music is just around you.
Its just an escape. Thats how i can put it into words.
Ah yes, bestgirl from the academy. Btw my ears are perfectly fine with the stock M40x, they are my daily office cans. From what you're describing I absolutely must have these M60xs. It's like they do for you is what the mr speakers ether flow does for me, and the LCD series comes pretty close.
Man, I love these reviews. You're literally the only guy on TH-cam who's completely honest with his reviews.
You helped me save a lot of money because I always check out your videos to see what you think about a given piece of hardware.
God bless.
Just bought a pair of amazon warehouse 110 UK pounds. They really are good and very comfortable for on ear.
Budget-wise these'll be a good step down for me but you've sparked my interest Z. I'm going to have to give these a try! They sound like what I need when I'm walking the dog.
I really do love the sound of these but I have three issues with them:
1 - I really wish they had a more compact, portable design. Ita would have been PERFECT if the on ear design was coupled with the folding (and rotating) design of the other m series (excluding m70s).
2 - As a cause of the design, I am yet to find a hard case for these which is lame considering their price.
3 - The two cables that connect to the cups are out and exposed and so if anything happens to them these are probably dead and repairing them would probably be unlikely.
Otherwise they're great I use them for mixing and transcribing jazz and their clarity is brilliant. Would love it if somebody could recommend me a hard case they fit inside.
Got this for my pair; Fits like a glove: www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FY6ZNW9/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Made in Abyss soundtrack is a gift to humanity
Alkali Calx Alkalhest not wrong
Can confirm that "these woosh better than fucking any headphone", I love them just for that.
are they good for gaming?
Okay, Zeos...I have to know - Do these still rule the portable-closed-back space? Is there something better?
ATH-M60x Yeah first one that sound better than Bose QuietComfort 35 (Series II) / Fostex T50RP MK3 / beyerdynamic DT 990 / AKG K701 Reference
They the ones must have even if you put it stupid blast loud they not starting to sound wors but just like wow ) thanks need more headphones like that
One thing I happened to think about is how much of a difference just the pads can make and that also got me thinking and bc of how some ppl's heads and ears are shaped they're going to have different experiences with different types of headphones which could be another reason why some prefer different types to others.
Nailed it. They are really good, light and comfortable. One of those headphones you could easily look past as you don't hear much about them. They are well balanced, good mids, not sibilant, good bass, 3 cables with lock in jacks. Crazy.
Just got these they are amazing
These or the Tridents for everyday use including gaming?
I'm so pleased you have the A5X, as I got these recently and have used you as a basis of buying my headphones so far
Hello Z, these or koss KPH30i?
Louis CK is that you?
Where's season 2 of Made in Abyss?
Calidrius
It's been confirmed for 2019. Not sure when but we do have a confirmation on sometime 2019.
forza1sra - 2019 needs to come sooner
I DON'T KNOW
It's coming, 100% confirmed and pretty sure it's currently in production.
Z Reviews - I think you do know. Cough up the secret formula, Crabs!
always come back here for honest opinion and im glad i did, fuck yeahh
The M50x is fine with HM5 pleathers. I despise the stock pads, but the HM5s make the M50x really pleasant.
"despite what marques brownlee says", as soon as I heard that I went fast fast fast to click on the like button.
I have m50x and got m60x after watching your review. I felt "I'M THERE" moment as well. Didn't experience that when I was listening with m50x. Thank you for your review.
I was getting a little defensive when Z insinuated that the M60x were a better portable than the my beloved 1Mores (which I had on for the review), but then he mentioned the "hard to drive" disclaimer and I looked down at my IFI iDSD Micro Black label on high gain. Ok, yah, that does take the 1Mores out of the main stream. I'll have to give these things a try. Nice that I don't have to spend near a thousand dollars to check them out. I will say, cuz I haftah, if you burn in the 1Mores and properly amp them, they are just flipping fabulous.
why not just try the m20x's to see if this trend of the even numbered ATH-M series being good compared to the odd numbered ones is consistent?
I actually loved my ATH-M50 lol, after new cups
This is (for you at least) a proof that the drivers don't do everything. Because these are the same drivers than the ones in the M50x (according to Audio-Technica). Such weirdness...
If you get the Massdrop ear pad replacements for the m50x, it totally transforms the sound signature for the better. That said I think spending a few $ more and getting even the B&O H6 v2 is much better if you can.
So a good upgrade for my Takstar Pro82? You where pretty passionate about those as well. Also no need to upgrade the cable as well.
First of all congratulations on what you do with honestly! I have been following you for a long time because I like your reviews. Not every time I agree with you but I respect your opinion. I come from a former communist country until December 1989 but I learned to be tolerant of the American company I have been working with since 1996. Until 1989 the highest official headsets in my country were Tesla, made in Czechoslovakia, and the unofficial ones were Sony, Panasonic, Technics, Pioneer. But both categories were to be found. I didn't know anything about Sennheiser, Audio Technica, AKG, Bosse, Beyerdynamic, Oppo, Grado, Stax, etc. Finally, I don't want to waste too much time. I have dozens of headphones from AKG, ATH and Sennheiser. I still have a lot of commercial audio headphones from brands that I do not currently discuss. With AKG I got to K812, Sennheiser to HD800 and ATH to AD1000X. I acquired them by guiding me after the reviews of people I respect as well as you.
The ATH M50s were totally different from anything I had listened to before. The sound enters my brain directly from the frontal direction. They do not offer audiophile pleasure. They are direct and brutal. They are completely missing the transitions. I mean harmonics. These studio monitors are made to "conceal" inconsistencies, mistakes. There are analytical audio headsets for analysis, they are not audiophile or hi-fi. I really found out that much later. I had already returned them and forgot about them until the M50X appeared. I bought them immediately and slowly, slowly I started to discover them. It provides the most brutal possible sound without any artistic ambitions. Acoustic physics without any artistic virtuosity. Sometimes I feel the need to use them, but not for relaxation and enjoyment. Just to check my audio files. I don't have M40X but I have M70X and R70X which I am very pleased with. In my opinion '70s are not for monitoring as they are not so analytical. I am just as puzzled by the M60 "on ear" as I was by the R70 "opened" for monitoring.
I will buy them for the office because of your review.
I have no where to test them before I buy them but I'm convinced it sounds good. At this point in the office I alternate AKG N60NC and Sennheiser M2 Over Ear and feel the need for an upgrade.
Once again congratulations and thanks for what you do!
I apologize for my bad English.
I will come back with impressions after buying the M60X from ATH.
Sebi T where’s the impression sebu? How can you afford so-many headphones coming from a communist company?
Today I received the ordered headsets. The sound is precise and fast, fairly neutral. The sound stamp is M50x but it looks faster. The soundstage is limited but for this I use other headphone models. I like how they look and they are very comfortable. If they could fold I would have been happy. If the M50X BT has already appeared I am convinced that the M60X BT will follow. The next few days I will play with them only. Best wishes to all!
200$ for an on ear that doesn't fold? Wtf is this audio technica?
just like their new bluetooth headphones $400+ without Noise canceling >.>
Well, unfortunate indeed, still sound is my priority so I don't really mind
There are designed for studio, foldable is for people who listen music for fan, and they need to transport their headphones
@@rubenarancibia7145 then they shouldn't be on ear.
Sorry to say, my ear is that small just tried them out at the store today 😭
How does it compare to the DT 1350? That is the only valid on-ear reference, IMO. I am tired of getting recommended warm and bassy headphones as „natural“. Please can somebody confirm the M60x are actually „high-fidelity“ before I pay 200€?
Wha?! I just saw the unboxing video yesterday!! This must be a game changer!!
I got my pair 3 days after this video came out and fair enough, the sound is amazing. Sometimes I found myself not being able to breathe at medium-high volumes because the sound overwhelms you in a good way, quite an experience. However, I wouldn't recommend them too much for $200 unless they were $170 and below or don't have a really nice pair already. The build and functionality quality isn't exactly worth $200 but I don't feel too ripped off, so no regrets there because the sound is so nice and so is the comfortability.
I happened to have the MSR7s and these M60x's kinda take the sharp highs of the MSR7s and turns them into more bass but loses just a little bit of clarity which is why MSR7s are more analytical and sharp than the musical M60x in my opinion. These are also much lighter on my head so they can be worn for probably the whole day but they're slightly more prone to getting off place.
On ear feels basically the same as over ear except that over ear surrounds your ear, making it hotter. Yeah maybe it has slightly better isolation for the sound to enter your ears, don't look as odd and don't fall as easily etc etc but who cares? It's understandable if you wear glasses and stuff but it isn't that bad to be honest.
i got these 2 days ago sound pretty harsh to me even compared to my dt770 pro 250 ohms which is known to have sharp highs, any tips to improve
Harsh as in the highs or overwhelming 'thump' sound? Perhaps try a different dac/amp which could be a phone, laptops, dedicated etc. I dont know about dt770s but maybe their mids and lows are even warmer than the m60xs and maybe even as a last resort you got defective ones?
@@haitran9793 would you recommend this or the dt770
Owh fuuuuuuuuuuu..... i just bought audio-technica m40x for 60 dollars 💵 because of your recommendation. Now i need to find 200 dollars 💵 for the m60x now 😂. Thanks Z. Yours recommendations are on point.
return them and consider ws1100is
Hmmmmm... I’ll consider it. Huhu...
im sure m40/50x dont compare to ws1100 and are more expensive.
comes down to ws1100 vs m60x. msr7 is $220 so i dont think price justifies the sound
Where did you bought them for 60$?
I bought secondhand in malaysia (as im from there). the owner just use once and then he sold it in fb market place. but the average price of new m40x in here is around 80-110 usd
How is the sound and soundstage of this headphone compared to DT770 pro?
I like the outside noise. Fills in the silent spaces
How are these compared to the Sennheiser HD660S ?
Sam 660s>>>>>m60x. the 660s is really nice
they are half the price..
I'd rather just buy the 58X jubilee for 50$ less or save up and for a TH X00. IMHO the 60x really does not cut it.
@V.M. Varga I'll get them in about a year. they'll still be selling them right ?
Time for the m30x and the m20x
Poro Biscuits both cancer
We get it ur poor
The 30x appeared in this video.. 0:26
At school the music dept has many pairs of M20Xs, they're okay.... i wouldn't buy a pair but if its all i had i wouldn't kill myself
sound wise m30x and m40x didn't have much difference. just the features
I tested these out and they were pretty amazing they did this thing with the soundstage where it would kind of create a soundstage for certain songs but they were a bit sharp for me.
Great headphones make you enjoy music you wouldn't otherwise enjoy. That's when you know the headphones are effing amazing
Gonna need a follow up on how it is for gaming, at least on the Reddit just in case ;)
Hot garbage for gaming, but for music it's perfect.
@@kato2395 really ? Even for some casual ?
@@ZkaBin Yeah, I'm talking about casual game like red dead redemption. It is not as immersive or natural sounding as my fidelio X2, most likely because the soundstage is much smaller than the X2.
Plus the bass is less pronounced compared to the X2. Gunshot sounds much better with punchy bass.
However if you prioritize music more you should get the m60x as it excels in clarity and music sounds really detailed and great in it.
But if gaming is your priority, get an open back headphone like fidelio X2 since you need large soundstage for gaming. With a large soundstage you can determine the direction and distance a shot is coming from.
@@kato2395 hmm i do game a bit like some casual stuff dota to have fun with the bois, i dont play so competitive but i do play some fps like r6s and apex but just for fun, i do enjoy music tho and right now im using coolermaster mh752 and nx4dsd as my dac, do u think i should upgrade ?
@@ZkaBin let me be honest. I only have 2 headphones as of now. X2 fidelio and M60x, I love both of them, however if you only let me have 1 headphone I will choose X2 fidelio because it is kind of an all rounder. It has a great sound stage which will help you determine the enemy's location and distance based on the gunshot or foot steps they made. To summarize X2 is good for music, perfect for game.
The M60x specializes in music. Music is super clear, the bass it not as pronounced as the X2 but that is the perfect amount of bass I would like for a crystal clear music listening experience. To summarize my experience the M60x would be perfect for music and hot garbage for gaming (at least compared to X2 fidelio). As you can see the M60x is kinda on the extreme compared to the all rounder fidelio.
If I were you I would purchasing an X2 fidelio instead, especially when you already have closed back gaming headphone like the coolermaster, the open back X2 fidelio would be a whole new experience for you. The X2 Fidelio is no longer in production but the great news is the better version of it the X2 HR that provides even more clarity than the old X2 that I am currently using is now available for purchase. I've used the Fidelio for 4 years, since 2016 and not once I regretted my purchase. It is a money well spent.
I also recommend checking the Philip SHP 9500. It is much much cheaper than the Philip Fidelio X2 HR. It is also open back and I've heard extremely good things about it even though I haven't purchased one yet. Considering it is designed so similarly to the X2, I would assume that the SHP9500 has a similar sound signature to the X2, even though I heard that the bass isn't ass pronounced, the sound is not as warm and the soundstage is not as large compared to the X2. I'm pretty sure the soundstage should be much larger than what your closed back coolermaster provide though.
If you live in Indonesia you can get the SHP9500 as cheap as Rp.1,5 mil on tokopedia and the X2 HR for around 3 - 4 mil. As for M60x it should be around 2.2 - 2.5mil. But I really don't recommend getting the M60x unless you already have an all rounder headphone like fidelio X2 or SHP9500 since the M60x is too specialized for music listening instead of gaming.
Disclaimer: This is an opinion from someone who is not an expert, you should check out the reviews of the X2HR, X2 and SHP9500 before making your decisions. LOL
"It makes my throat weird."
Bought my M40s and a HA 2 SE because of you. 👍
Great review ! How does this compare to MSR7 ?
Thanks to u, i bought the m40x
Bought
@@TatsuM sorry haha
@@TatsuM now i feel so stupid:)
I had dt770, dt880, hd25, ..... and now I have got the m40x .... with new pads, it's the best for mastering i heard in my life !
God damn it Zeos
Zeos don`t forget to use right tags for your video reviews for example for this video you should add: audiotechnica, audio-technica, m60x review, m60x :) And you will get more views. I really love to watch your reviews. They are just amazing.
I have been wondering what happened to m60x because even when I was in Japan I can't find one and here in the Philippines and now this... I had the same reaction I after trying m40x and I've been using it for 2 years, if this tops it then damn...
Hey, Z. If you could choose only one pair of headphones for home theater - what would you choose?
Also - are wireless headphones acceptable for you?
Tirith you gotta include your budget or you might get an answer like the Sony z1r.... Buy those :D you won't be disappointed.
Too meta.
For home theater I'd go with something like planars as they have that sweet bass extension. If your neck and wallet can take it: audeze LCD series. If you have less to spend: phillips fidelio X2. Amp: ifi audio ican SE, or take their newest DACamp.
spookanide Funny, I thought the x2's also!
Planars are hard to drive usually and don't have some of that exentuated, boomy bass some may want for movies.
I can only speak for Aeon flow opens, they are awesome for music and movies, but are kind of hard to get high volume levels even balanced on a fostex hpa4bl :/
No budget. I'm not looking for headphones - im asking a question.
Anyone want a slightly used pair of m50x? LOL
John Quin lmao try to sell them off MKBHD’s fans
These or the MSR7s? (Difference in price isn’t too much of an issue)
I laughed pretty fuckin hard in the beginning when he said he was ready to shit on it
Compared to Sennheiser HD 25's II? (just curious)
These. Those were good but the comfort was NOT there. These are also more musical.. less analytical. Better low end. Wider soundstage.
This is the question I had as well. I use HD25 for a few years already and the only thing that was mind-blowingly better was LCD-3.
Sooooo does it make sense to upgrade from HD25 to M60?
And my "better" mean "I can't listen to LCD-3 anymore, or I'll sit here in the shop crying"
Kirill Petrovsky I've listened to both the 60x and the lcd-3 extensively at a headphone shop and the lcd-3 sound is much warmer and just much more comfortable to listen to. The m60x's were very good for a portable on ear but you really can't compare it against an lcd-3. IMHO If you are looking for portable headphones then these would be good but otherwise just stick with the lcd-3.
chris p thanks! Sorry for poor wording on my end - by upgrading I referred to switching from HD25 to M60. LCD-3 is obviously better, but it can be used at home only.
Yeah I don't freakin' get the Marques Brownlee M50x love. I mean, granted, even though he likes headphones, I don't think he's a crazy anal audio guy, and I even think he said it himself. That being said, I don't like how due to his name (and the guy also has legitimately awesome presentations too) it's perpetuating the myth that M50xs are the best daily headphones. You've got something like the DT770s in the same price bracket, and you've got soundstage, better ergonomics, more pleasant frequency response (imo), better build quality and something you can live with 24/7. I'd rather get DP'd by drill bits through both ears than use the M50xs for anything else other than pure audio monitoring.
Yeah, he should just stick to reviewing smartphones.
what about ws1100is for $129
He's a sellout. 90% of youtubers have shitty headphone selection. All those 990's and shit headsets make me want to throw up
Yanny or Laurel? People hear things differently... maybe those cans sound really good to him?
Lee Weber I really doubt it considering he has always had flagship sennheisers chilling.
My brother has the M50. The vocals are very recessed, as shown by Rtings’ measurements. I can’t listen to them for more than a single song.
My daily drivers are the 1More Triple in-ears, and I love them.
M60x or LCD-2 Classic for getting lost in your music?
I m waiting for this Z!) we all)))
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF vs. "fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"? What will Zeos do if these things break in to sound like doodoo? Most likely, the world will never know, because it will probably make little difference.
So just got mine and was listening to it for initial impressions. Lows, highs, Soundstage are great. I do have some issues with mids. They don't seem very natural particular upper mids crossing into treble. Idk if it's the 5-6k spike in really sensitive to but for example beyond the beautiful disaster by 311 the cymbals are a little shrill. Green light by lorde her voice again not very natural sounding (to me). Even tangled by maroon 5 vocals just seem a bit odd to me and for the most part I love the mastering every song from songs about Jane. I'll keep testing but I still like my takstar 82 for portable. Also the 82s are more flexible with how I can use them for different situations
Edit: beautiful disaster not beyond the grey sky.
Man, I'm desperate trying to find good headphones. Today I've just tried the mx50 and walked out he store disappointed. Hope tomorrow I find these in the other store because you fkn convinced me!!! 😂😂
Come on, give us the Aeon review already!
Soon my child. Soon.
Patreons have seen it... 😉
Damn, I remember back in the days considering to buy the M50x, until I got to try them at the shop. It indeed sounded like hot garbage!
Had the same experience. So many people recommended them and had the chance to try them on at a store. I couldn't tell if the drivers were damaged or not tbh.
I don'tunderstand how you could hate them
Well, I had a shure 440, and IEMs such as the se215, RHA MA750 & t20i by the time I checked it out. With all that hype that has been around it I had high hopes. Then I put them on driven from my Mate 9, and I was baffled how the bass completely shadowed everything. I mean I like a tasteful bass emphasis, but it wasnt't like that at all, no sign of control. Despite being IEMs, the t20 blew them away on the spot in terms of clarity, detail, coherence, and bass quality.
By the way, I had exactly the same experience with the RHA t10 IEM when I tried it, I think that and the m50x have a similar sound signature.
So I walked away, picked up a used MDR-1aDAC for like 100 bucks, and never looked back since. I might give it another go with my Ha2, but it would be a sidegrade at best after the MDR-1a.
Edit: I'm definitely gonna have a second check with some A-B because I might be very wrong here. I tried the m50x more than a year ago and for a relatively short time, I shouldnt judge.
Who better audio technica m60x or beyardynamic 770
True. Admitting i bought m50x and realized how bad it is a year later. Thx MKBHD lol
Just picked these up expecting a revelation. Instead was hit with spike'y (if pleasant) mids. There is definitely a poke/hump at around 1200 hz. No bueno. Returning tomorrow.
You must be the guy who gave them a 3-star review on Amazon.
Jose - yeah..that was me. That 1.2k peak is just too much. It's like the 3.5k peak in the 7506's.
I thought the same thing too. I bought them at an audio shop last week and after listening to them for 3 hours I returned them.
>Loves animé
>Reviews audio gear
>Unapologetic
Why aren't you on 4chan, Zeos?
I bet he is
Feel like you may have talked these up a bit, so if somebody got these and was disappointed because they rely on your opinion entirely for audio equipment and were expecting to be blown away in every aspect of what they've listened to before lol. As for me, I feel like if I bought these I would feel good that I've got great, perhaps the best value (opinionated) on-ears because of this review. So cheers for that : )
i'm gonna place my order now after this review thanks mate!!!
