    • Look great, AMAZING sound quality, bass is nice, comes with lots of accessories, very sturdy, name brand, great price for performanceCons: plastic may seem a little cheap when first receive (but then again they are so much cheaper than say beats or bose), after a long while they get a little warm and slightly headache (I think this is because i am not used to headphones this big), not bluetooth (but not necessary)Overall these are great and my only complaint is
    • Everyone has already mentioned ad nauseam how good these are, how good the sound stage is, how clean yet powerful the bass and midrange is, and how clear but not piercing the treble is
    • The bass is, in my opinion, appropriate for the music and not overpowering.
    • The bass is loose and muted and the mids and highs make Freddie Mercury's voice sound like a homeless man squatting over my ears and farting, no joke
    • I never recommend recording with Beats because it has such a strong bass to the headphones, it will mess up the whole mastering
    • The M50's have a warm sound with pretty sharp bass tones.

    • ProsCrisp and clear mid and highAccurate bass and overall well balanced sound experienceCan get really high without distortionPassive noise cancellation is great, isolate outside sound very wellAlmost no sound leakage outside so can pump up volume without disturbing othersComfortable as you use, felt little tight in the start but after a month use no issues at allConsthe attached cord feels bulky, I hope the cords are more flat or thinBuy them if you like real sound (not modified like any other headphones that are bass heavy).
    • Best bass end — much Clearer than just the step below with the lesser line.
    • Bass is cleaner and less emphasized, which to extreme bass-heads (People who absolutely crave bass in headphones) may be disappointing
    • I've been able to get some insane bass out of these things just for laughs.
    • I even found the Audio-Technicas to be much louder than the Beats headphones, since so much of the mid and high range frequencies on the Beats are compromised by an overpowering bass design

    • But this doesn't mean the bass is bad
    • The bass now sounds perfect and I'm very happy with my purchase.
    • However, in my opinion, the M40x is less detailed, the midrange is more recessed, and a strong mid-bass spike intrudes upon an otherwise neutralish sound
    • I'm not adamant that bass be obnoxious for me to enjoy what I listen to, but I find the level of bass to be complimentary to the rest of the sound.
    • I'm not some bass fanatical teen
    • No over-exaggerated bass, no bright highs and a clear instrument seperation makes way for a pleasurable listening experience

    • Bass is not super loud, but I like it that way.
    • If you are looking for a strong bass sound these headphones might not be for you

    • Weak bass as is often with headphones.
    • Super clear, really tight bass, comfortable
    • Clear bass, clear high fq
    • The highs and mids are excellent, the bass is accurate but difficult to mix sub-bass frequencies with as you will most likely need studio monitors and a sub to feel these frequencies and mix them accurately.
    • All of these other Audio-Technica headphones have a more neutral sound than the M50X; the M50X sounds notably more "scooped," with strong bass, sizzling highs, and more hollowed and recessed sound across the mids and mid-highs.

    • Many people complain that the bass might be too strong but this has crisp sound quality
    • The bass is good for headphones though so not to turn you off from buying them for that reason alone
    • Because Beats puts so much emphasis on overpowering bass frequencies and marketing/packaging, it was extremely disappointing to find that they did not live up to the hype when it came down to overall sound quality, and could hardly suffice as an every day headphone for the casual music listener
    • If the song has bass and is meant for the listener to hear the bass, no fear, you will

    • The mids and highs are great, but the bass is far better than on the Sennheisers
    • Great quality, superb sound and comfortability, not too much Bass like beats but cheaper than beats by a long shot

    • If you're expecting these headphones to have decent bass, you'll be disappointed
    • If you're a bass lover like me though, these won't do the job.
    • Bass is good, vocals (mid range) is amazing, but the higher frequencies don't sound "that" great
    • The bass is clear and mostly sufficient, the mid range is full and firm, the highs sing without screeching unless they don't - at a volume that's right for everything else, they can be too bright
    • The highs are crisp, the mids are full, and the bass is powerful but not ridiculous
    • They provide plenty of mid-range and great bass, but after listening to the bright high end on these, I’m starting to feel that bass is way overrated and now I listen much more for hi hats, crashes, and claps

    • The bass is still there, but not as prominent as some others

    • This is perfect for me as it doesn't exaggerate the bass and sounds so cool and chugga chugga.

    • If you're looking for beats competitors, look at AT's Super Bass line
    • Sony MDR-V6Nice articulate and comfortable midrange, highs bright but not painfully so, bass is clear but not as gripping as I'd like
    • Do not forget about an EQ if you want some decent bass and things of that nature, as that is one thing I very happy about, as these can punch some great kicks in songs
