usoldier · Jul 2, 2018

Hi guys my Superlux HD681B are needing retirement and i wanted to get a a good rugged with ease acess to parts ( cable and pads ) do you think these Audio Technica ATH-M50x are good for games and general use like movies and some music?

I also wanted to add that i also wanted them to be closed, has in letting litle sound come in, i play in my living room and with kids on their tablets plus wife on tv i cant focus on my games.

My budget is about 120€ Thanks .

I personally didn't like them, the ear holes are pretty shallow, and really just feel cheap for $100+ cans. Take a look at the beyerdynamic dt 770 (80 Ohm if you don't have an amp) if you need some closed back cans.

You could also look into Takstar Pro 82 that has been all the hype recently. But DT770 is always a safe bet when it comes to closed headphones that are built like a tank.

From open cans DT990, AKG K612 Pro and K702 are good choices if you have a decent soundcard/amplifier. K612 and K702 are dirt cheap at Thomann.de at the moment.

I used the ATH-M50's for years with a mod mic. They were pretty darn good. Back then they were the best you can get for under 200 dollars. There might be better ones now but you wont be upset if ya pick them.
