    In terms of bang for buck, you'd be hard pressed to find a more reliable pair of headphones imo.

    First pair of Audio-Technica headphones I bought were in the 90s and they lasted me well over 12 years of almost daily use. Eventually, I upgraded in 2010 to the original ATH-M50's which I still have and work/sound as the first day I bought them. 3 years ago I upgraded again to a new pair of ATH-M50x's which are now my daily headphones for mixing/editing at work and at home. They get used almost non-stop and still fit fit/work/sound perfectly. To say I'm a huge fan of AT headphones would be an understatement.

    This is nice.

    Maybe one could add https://crinacle.com/graphs/iems/graphtool/ and https://crinacle.com/rankings/headphones/ and https://crinacle.com/rankings/iems/ as well. :thumbsup:

    (Btw.: In my opinion, it's advisable to look for the best Harman IE 2019 v2 curve match. The IEF Neutral lacks a lot of bass.)

    it was possible to offer them, but not everyone likes them for the studio, what you need is excellent sound insulation clear sound with minimal color and a pronounced middle the only problem is demanding on the sound source

    I have a pair, and I really like them, but my ears aren't as discerning as other folks in the audio community. At the very least, they have been quite reliable.

    I had ATX-M50 before this (still have them), and the only reason I got the x is because I got tired of the cord going all crazy on me :) I'm weird that way... but it just spiraled itself into a mess all the time. haha

    Anyways, they sound good to these unprofessional ears!
