ATH-M50x Velour Earpads

https://www.massdrop.com/buy/ath-m50x-velour-earpads

Nice. Also got mine not long ago. Now I can't even go back to using my PC speakers
Bought a Fiio E10k to pair with it.

u mean the DAC?? the DAC just plug USB to the computer
headphone just plug to the audio port..

i am also new learning something new everyday.

can take a look at the Fiio E10K i am using. Desktop DAC+AMP combo. about rm250 i think i bought.

for me there is sound difference.
esp when i plug direct to my desktop front port, there's a faint buzzing sound. apparently its interference noise from the working parts within the desktop unit.

after i plug in the DAC, the sound completely gone. can hear new sounds i never picked up before even tho keep listening to the same playlist
the amp also makes the headphone push higher volume.

i bought my audio technica and fiio separately from this guy : https://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=3124581&hl=
good recommended seller.

btw, if you mainly using it for your iPhone/mobile, maybe you should look for portable DAC + AMP. i dont think the e10k can work with mobile.

m50x not true isolation. can isolate about 80% of external noise, , still can hear a bit of the outside world when not playing any music

m50x
even tho i nvr try m40x

I dont think you can go wrong with m50x as a 1st studio headphone. unless you more into bass like Beats kinda thing.
can take it from there and become a headphone hoarder

If you want more bass, go for the Beyerdynamic COP. It's more towards bass and has that adjustable thing on the side. Iinm, there's a new model/design change coming otw soon.

AT M50x is more flat and neutral. Bass not really its thing tho its already considered a bit heavy for purist and audiophiles.

Very versatile for me. Good for movies and music. Even gaming but i prefer more bass for that

Hmm just saw Dbrand got sticker for M50X.. Interested to get

its like a sticker skin for your devices. they started to do phones, now moving to other stuff like laptops and xbox/ps4. saw their website got option for ATH M50x.

can check it out here : https://dbrand.com/shop/m50x

can choose what color/design for it

22usd with shipping here? Wanna try velour pads

wanna get Brainwavz HM5 earpads replacement. preferably the angled kind. reading alot of good reviews on those hm5s.
the stock 1 after 1 year use feels very thin now, can almost feel the plastic cups clamping my head. anyone know where to buy?

See alot of reviews say Brainwave HM5 earpads are good for m40x m50x. Got velour and pleather but can't seem to find in MY.

using Brainwavz HM5 angled pleather on my M50x.
Brainwavz earpads are the best. really damn comfy to use. i think the sheepskin one will be even nicer to use.
i think it will fit the MSR7.

i bought the angled ones because ATH M50x drivers inside the cans are usually angled so it helps out sonically. I use my cans in air cond room so no worries about the hot weather

there are few options to choose from, pleather, velour or hybrid. guess need to do some research on that cos it will change the sound a bit. try check out the angled ones too

bought from mp4nation.com. got free shipping to Malaysia, but might take a while. if in a hurry can always use faster shipping by choosing more expensive shipping options.
if you do buy from there, please use my referral code : 4706394 when check out haha.

never get the sheepskins. but they look good tho.
Brainwavz hm5 pads are damn comfy, should have switched out my stock pads ages ago lol

yep. i bought from mp4nation.net, due to free shipping to MY. couldn't find any local shops selling this, closest is Singapore, but also require to pay shipping fee.
i bought the angled pleather ones

got normal pleather/velour and hybrid ones, can browse around the Brainwavz section. but make sure is the hm5 variant. not sure if other will work with m50x.

if you do end up buying from there, please use my referral if you wish
