    i have a pair of ATH-M50X

    something happened and sounds like a kick are barely audible

    they sound weird

    i was always connecting in straight to laptop i can't remember having this issue....i rarely used them and they are new

    SOLVED - the wire connecting to the headphones for some reason it can go a bit outwards and inwards and i pushed it inwards and it works...no idea whats the use of that!! i don't think it comes straight off, need to read into it to understand. thanks

    Best Answer

    You're supposed to twist the headphone jack before undoing it, and twist it the opposite way when connecting it. The purpose is so it never works itself loose and will only come apart when you wish it to do so. Be careful when connecting/disconnecting it in future as once the mechanism breaks, a new pair of headphones is required.

    its all fine now, i was just wondering, do you know if i have any disadvantage when i connect these headphones into the laptop directly as opposed to an audio interface? just checking if this is something i need to check later on or if the result will be the same

    thanks for your answers

    You didn't push the jack far enough into the socket and heard Side channel only.

    I was under the impression you were talking about the jack that goes into the headphone. If you mean the 3.5mm jack plug that goes into the laptop? my original advice wouldn't be necessary.

    Those cans work fine without an audio interface.

    Quite off-topic of me, but as the OP's question is answered and his problem is fixed, thanks to you ... has Sylenth fallen?

    Only when the question is asked.:p (It might not mean much to you though unless you watch Doctor Who)


    Just in case you don't watch it.. here is something that might explain a bit.. although,, as I'm typing this I'm thinking it might pose more questions than it answers...
