ATH M50 VS ATH Pro 700 MKII VS Ultrasone HFI 580 VS Pro 550
Dear All,
I'm a person who is hunger for BASS, the type of music I listen to mostly will be drum and bass, trance, electro, house and RnB. After doing some research online I narrow down the 4 above headphone mention , which cost below $350. will like so seek some of the guru advice, on the above 4 headphone. What I looking for? 1) Isolation - As long I can’t hear "train is coming please stand behind the yellow line" while waiting for train at the station. 2) Comfort - I am a person who wear spec, so hopefully able to wear them for a couple of hours without any issues. 3) Sound - I need a bass monster!!! ![]() ![]() 4) Portable - As long is foldable Thank You ![]() |

M50 will be out as their cable is too bulky due to it's coil. Ultrasone 580 and 780 looks is the killer, SQ wise cannot comment much as I nv try.

Es7 is a wonderful headphone, but the problem for it, is that it unable to cover my ear fully (Maybe i got a big ear
),and my ear will be resting on my spec, which will cause some pain for a long period of time. WS70 the bass is not as good as Es7 and M50, that is my personal opinion ![]() |

M50s are a good contender, however its bass is considered to be on the light side by a lot of bassheads.
Isolation-wise, very nice. At moderate volumes, it can phase out bus rumbling, even from old SMRT buses ![]() Comfort, I too wears specs. No complains here, apart from its weight, which I find being a little irritating. Portablility, it has a coiled cable version, and can fold as well. HOWEVER Like I said before, these are not basshead cans. For something better, I suggest the Ultrasone DJ1s, which are basically a reshelled HFI 580. The bass is tighter and has more quantity. They also come with a coiled cable, something that the HFI 580 did not have. Isolation-wise, it's a little less than the M50s, but you can use the M50's pads (sold at Stereo) to have the same amount of isolation. Personally, I prefer the HFI 580s I can't stand coiled cables anymore after having the M50s for half a year. |
