I just saw your review, and you're on point - and I know because I got them for $90 CAD off my pair of SR-50s too. They sound clean, the design seems sturdy, and understated (which is good for being stealthy). Very good for the sale price.
Another clean and informative video! I remember many trips to Best Buy with you debating which headphones to finally purchase. Seems you made the right choice!
FYI, the balanced connection has nothing to do with providing "a more balanced sound." The only benefit from balanced connection is greater power input from your balanced source. That additional power might make the drivers perform at peak compared to a single-ended connection with lower power output.
Well I have ATH-MSR7b's and I can tell the balanced cable makes big difference in the sound, the sound just gets clearer with better sound stage, whereas with the unbalanced cable the music sounds a bit muddy
@@NoThemeReviews Tbh I was thunking to add Ifi Zen Can to my Zen Dac but I don't really need it as the ATH-MSR7b headphones are only 36 ohms and Zen Dac feeds them with plenty of power, especially through the balanced cable.
Great video. I also couldn’t find any reviews on these headphones. Bought them yesterday from BestBuy ($95 off) thanks in large part from this video. I was upgrading from old paid of Bose on Ear headphones. What a sound difference! I’ve tried many different pairs in stores. I love their sound signature. Sound stage is better than I had hoped for. (Not like open back but still really nice). Great video. Thanks.
Thank you for a good review, starting to talk about quality of sound, unlike all the other "unboxing" videos which talk about obvious stuff (they come with a pouch, instruction manual, and oh, the headphones themselves!) :D
It baffles me how few reviews these headphones have. I have both the MX50 and the SR50s in the mail. Ordered MX50s then decided to get the SRs. Still haven't made up my mind, but this review helps. Thanks!
I just bought these (needed Bluetooth) and compared them to my M50x. I found the bass in the M50x's to be superior. The SR50's are much more compressed, and I found them to be lacking in the highs and lows. If I need wireless, they're functional. If I have an option to plug in, or if I want to do some critical listening, the M50x's are always what I'll reach for.
Thinking about buying a pair of these. There on sale on Best Buy right now. They definitely look nice 👍. One of my biggest complaints about some headphones is that they are expensive but yet when you hold them they feel so light and cheap. But these look pretty solid so I hope there worth it.
I don’t know if anyone else has this problem, the build of these headphones are so creaky and loud that if I move at all when wearing them I can heard the creakiness over the actual music. I’m taking it into a tech repair shop to see if this can be helps but has anyone else experienced this???
Can anyone tell me the differences in sound between the ATH-MSR7b and the ATH-SR50BT? ¿Puede alguien decirme las diferencias en sonido entre los ATH-MSR7b y los ATH-SR50BT?
i had the sr50 wired and they had too much sub bass and not enough mids for me. but i could lower the sub bass and raise the mids in the eq and then i liked them
@@WincTech i just ordered a pair for 100$ only. factory certified refurbished directly from audio technica canada. im gonna compare them to my sony h.ear on 1 wired headphones which i got new for half price
I own the M50X from before. I saw the SR50 on sale half the price off so I bought 2 of them. There was only 1 remaining in each of the 2 stores I bought it from. I love these headphones to complement the M50X. I keep one for regular use and the 2nd one for backup if anything ever happened to my first pair.

plastic is lighter then metal but it can creak or crack

Does my audio sound good? 😂

Is the sound flat enough to use them for something like music production/mastering?
I would say so, but for music production specifically I would recommend the ATH-M50x
@@WincTech And is the sound of these sr50´s flatter than the m50x´s? Because i´ve heard the m50x´s have a slight emphasis on the low frequencies
@@grissli it's actually the other way around. The M50x has flatter sound and the SR50s have a slight emphasis on low end
Is the headphone jack input on the headphones 3.5mm?
Yes it is
@@WincTech i just ordered a pair for 100$ only. factory certified refurbished directly from audio technica canada. im gonna compare them to my sony h.ear on 1 wired headphones which i got new for half price
is one of the cable both 3.5mm both ends?
Are compatible with high -res audio ?
They are rated for Hi-Res audio yes
can I connect to ps5?
With the controller yeah
Would you say these are good for gaming?
For pure gaming probably best to find something with dolby atmos.
Do you know if these ones have microphone ? cant find that answer anywhere
They do not have a mic
you could add a mic maybe. there is cables for sale by poeple like vmoda that might fit

Which one do you prefer, if you don't mind me asking? The M50X or the SR50 and why?
@@Thundy sr50 have recessed mids. need to be raised in the eq
Are this headphones good for electronic music production like the m40?
Compared to The ATH-M40X headphone how do they perform?
I haven't had the chance to try the M40x but considering they sound similar to the M50x I would imagine the SR50s sound better than the M40x
