How is the comfort? I'm coming from a Logitech G430 where the head band feels like it's digging into my skull. Do they feel nice and gentle on the top of your head?
I have both of these and love em both. The difference to me between these headphones are that my m50x really need my fiio amp to really come alive whereas my solid bass headphones sound more dynamic when I plug em directly into my headphones. Also the m50x are not quite as comfortable as my solid bass headphones. Lastly my m50x seem a bit easier to listen to for long periods than my solid bass headphones. I assume the flatter frequency response is the cause of this. Overall I love both for different reasons and I wouldn’t pick one over the other
yes definitely...i tried msr7 and v-moda crossfade lp2 but finally settled with WS1100iS. I am happy with the sound quality and very suitable for music, movies and gaming.
yups...i like the tight bass with crystal clear mids and highs. I tried MSR7 and V-Moda LP2 but i find ATH WS1100iS gives me right balancing of lows, mids and highs. Please remember it's not a bassy headphones or boomy bass. Very tight bass instead exactly what i was looking for.
I'm planning on purchasing those and I was wondering if the heavy bass does not override the crystal highs in EDM music. I like to listen to alot of EDM such as DnB, Future Bass, Dubstep etc. I'm a huge bass head and I really like boomy heavy and deep bass, but also like to acknowledge the whole spectrum of sounds like the highs and those little details in music. I'd like to know that before I purchase these because these are a huge investment for me. Also, do these come with an equalizer software?
@@wompdaddy4891 I see. Do you think it does heavy Electronic music justice? Is there enough of that deep bass that often make those ear cups vibrate? That's super important to me.
if your buying for durability, bass, value then the ws1100is are probably the best upper priced headphone out there right now. you'd probably be crazy to buy the m50x over these which are on sale now. i dont recommend the m40x either. i have them. if you are expecting alot of bass then you will need either a good eq and boost it by 10 db or so, or a fiio e17k amp which has 10db bass boost. but rest assured they ARE bass headphones: check out the youtube video of ws770 paper bass test. not many headphones can do this. my hd500s cant handle the same amount of bass as ws1100, but can pump out the same volume at low levels of bass if that makes sense. so what im saying if you want alot of bass then you will have to eq it with alot. they are possibly more durable than the v moda m100s. and those arent on sale either. i play my music not quiet but hopefully not loud enough to damage my ears sitting next to ppl at library and no one complains. rarely there is sibilance. normally its right at the threshold. you can hear cars outside but not as loud as my open hd500s if you dont have hte money for ws1100 (its $130 usd) then id recommend buying a used pair of xb500 locally. sony xb950 and crushers have crap build quality.
How durable are the WS1100iS, I use to own a pair of M50x and they are tough. I'm very abuse on my headphones, they're constantly beaten and exposed to heat and cold sometimes light rain or snow. The M50x lasted me nearly a year before the left driver died, common issue with many headphones I've used.
I don't know if anyone will reply, but I am thinking about replacing my cheap JVC XX HA-M55X headphones, The WS1100iS are $146.99, while the M50X are more at $149.99, I like some bass but I want good quality, Are the WS1100iS's worth it now?
I have both pairs and personally I lean slightly towards the WS100. First reason is because I like being able to replace the cords and don't like the lock in feature of the m50x because I keep thinking with heavy usage it will lose connectivity if not locked in or something (tho this hasn't happened to me). Two because as the op states the WS100 feels slightly more comfortable over extended periods of time as the ear cups are just a touch bigger and more plush for my head and three the bass does sound more solid. Thatt's just my opinion..hope it helps
I just bought the Audio Technica ATH WS1100is on Amazon for 117$ !!! 😎 Can't wait to hear them, I need something that can reproduce really good bass for my PsyTrance listening, and something that can handle the Hi-Res Audio Files I've purchased from HDtracks, and these should be the best at exactly that, I even wanted to pay 229$ plus import fees to my country to get them because they really should be perfect headphones for me, but last night I saw them on Amazon for 117$ that was a heureka moment for me! Just saved a bunch of money! Now I just can't wait for them to get here!
@@wompdaddy4891 Thanks. They are at the top of my list! I live on an island in the middle of the Atlantic so returns with Amazon are actually a bitch so I really want to get this right!
@@wompdaddy4891 you can't beat the price of monoprice retros though. If you sign up their mailing list you get like 10% off so I got those headphones for $22.99 before tax and shipping. Sound great too
@@wompdaddy4891 oh shit I just realized that my last comment was about the monoprice retros. I forgot what headphone we were talking about. The build quality is fine, zero complaints. I literally dropped them 6 feet to concrete way more than I should have and they've held up fine. I think I have slight damage in a particular mid low range on one side but they still sound good. The monoprice retros are also pretty sick. They're cheap ($30) and sound good
@@wompdaddy4891 btw I have the m40x which are the same price as the ones in this video but sound amazing. They're leaps and bounds better than any other headphone on that lineup
M50x are known to have poor noise isolation compared to most closed headphones so making the point that these are good for this is misleading. Also M50x are the least flat studio monitors I've ever had so again, calling them a bit flat is misleading, they aren't even slightly 'flat'.
Do NOT but these headphones I've bought audio technicas m40x (4 years owned) hyper x aplha s and Xbox stereo headphones and these do NOT have bass that shit was so weak it was almost the same as the m40x best headphones are the Xbox stereo headphones for only 21$ on Amazon and they're strongly better than these 100-400$ headphones I returned them right away there was no bass for being so advertised on it
I think the M50x’s sound better than the m40’s. Even still they are monitors which are a truer sound and not supposed to be very boomy. The solid bass headphones have much more bass but those are still not overpowering.
The M50x are just not that good. There is a lot more headphone for a lot less money out there. The M50x are arguably overpriced years after release. Quite underwhelming. And they're not monitors.

Ws1100is is very great sounding. Huge earcups for comfort. Great High Res Audio.

My Audio Technica ATH WS1100iS's hinge broke after four years. Does anyone know where I can have it fixed?
Ouch! That sucks! Did they break from regular use or did they get dropped or something?!?

I like bass but also crisp clarity
vmoda is too boomy

My WS1100is have forced me to buy new Brainwave pads and a new headband cover - this hasnt been a problem with my M40x : just sayin.
Can you use these for gaming on PC?
I just bought them with a V-Moda. All my hours of research kept point towards these or the Phillips.
Can I use the m50x chord instead the one that comes with the ws?
you can use any 3.5 mm cord.
The audio technica ATH WS77iS is a little cheaper but sounds a bit better than the M50X in the lows to mids
It can be compared more to the M40XI guess
Which do you like WS1100is or M50x ?
Thank you!

Does the 1100 ear cushions come off?
probably because ive seen replacements.
Now WS1100iS is cheaper than M50x on Amazon.
Really? I just bought the ATH-WS1100is for 130$ off of amazon
Does anyone have experience plugging these into the xbox one controller?

This is probably because you don't drive them properly, that's why...
Metal is bad on headphones for this simple reason. It’s wayyy heavier.
