Hi guys, this would be my 1st "expensive" headphones purchase. Initially I was dead set on getting ATH M50 after reading all the recommendations online. After testing it for awhile, I realised I like the sound, but it made me sweat after 10 minutes! I'm guessing its because it is closed back.

I then proceeded to test a Goldring DR150 and it was super comfortable for me and didn't make me sweat at all (probably due to them being open back). The sound was quite ok as well though the "kick" of the bass is slightly lacking to my untrained ears.

So I'm here now to get some recommendations from the pros. At the same price I could get an ATH AD700. Which one of these would you guys recommend? I'm also open to other recommendations. Below are some extra info. Hope to hear from you guys soon and thanks alot in advanced!

My Rig: Ipad2
- Type of usage: Music (60%), Movies (20%), Games (20%)
- File format: MP3, FLAC, WMA
- Music genre: Pop, Rock, Alternative, Rap, OST
- Budget: RM500 plus minus
- Headphone/ earphone type: Comfortable (Over the ear?)
- Other requirements (if any): Comfort

[+] Audio-Technica ATH-AD500X (New model [16/11/2012] + Clarity + Detail + Superior comfort and airy)
Hi there, thats a very new product I cant find any reviews of it online. Perhaps you could give me more info about the headphones? How does it compare with a ATH-AD700 / Goldring DR150?

Thanks!
