Re: Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones 2014/04/25 18:46:40 (permalink)
I'd promised to report back when I received the replacement pads that Larry had found on eBay. They came in today and I'm using them as I write this.
 
In short, they arrived within the promised time frame (all the way from China), fit well and feel great. No more scratchiness. A little difficult to install. (Reminded me of the first time I tried to install a rubber, which required the assistance of my girlfriend and even with four hands it took so long that it would have killed the mood if we hadn't both been 15 and totally hopped up on hormones.)
 
The headphones feel tighter on my head now. Could be the old ones had become squishier over time and the new ones are stiffer. The new ones feel like they're providing a tighter seal, and isolation seems to have improved somewhat.
 
They also sound different now. Not bad, just slightly less bright. It's not a huge difference, and I probably wouldn't even notice if I hadn't been listening to these headphones every day for 8 years. I suppose this might also be explained by the stiffer, tighter seal.
 
Thanks again for the tip, Larry.


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

So do the replacement pads come per-lubricated?

Purrrfect Audio DAW here.  Wow!...

I'd contact them VV.  They'll give you a hassle at first, but, since it's your first order, they'll give
you the credit.

...Tried it but it always says I have $0 credit in my cart.... 

 
Me too. I even tried signing up with 2 different emails and got 2 different $10 credit codes sent to me, only to be shown 'Code is Invalid' both times.
 
I thought, "Huh - that's rich, considering these are the exact codes that nomorerack sent to me - unaltered in anyway."
 
So I tried a live chat, but that didn't go anywhere.
 
If anyone deserves the $10, it's you Larry.
 
In fact, I think that you should get anywhere from even just $1-5 dollars for each thing we've all purchased here over the years. Just imagine how much that'd be by now.
 
So sorry Bud - the one time really I wanted you to get this kickback fee - it just didn't work - either time.
 
But as always, thanks anyways Larry. You're the King!

JR...

I don't know what this "Code" is....the $10 shows up in your shopping cart as a Credit.

Just put something in the cart.  In the center of the "Cart" screen will be a GREEN Credits heading
with amount of available credit in BLUE.

You just click the "apply" button and it's applied to the order.

I've never gotten a code.

But hey I'm glad that people are using this. If I don't get the credit (and I haven't btw) 
it's not biggie.  I just couldn't believe they were selling these at this price.

I love mine...IJS...

Good price, but they are returns, probably not an issue but they are refurbed.  (should say burned in ??)

Yes they are "Factory" refurbs...which means they go back to the Manufacturer for 
repair.

They are just like new, and still have a 90 day warranty.

For the money that's a steal...

I don't know what this "Code" is....the $10 shows up in your shopping cart as a Credit.

The "Code" is an emailed code to use in the 'Redeem Code' box. In the email, it says this is how to get the $10 credit.
cclarry
Just put something in the cart.  In the center of the "Cart" screen will be a GREEN Credits heading with amount of available credit in BLUE.

You just click the "apply" button and it's applied to the order.

Yup - saw that both times and in that box it said, "$0.00 Credit" both times. I even clicked 'Apply Credit' just to see if by chance it might work.
 
I did a live chat & sent an email to support as well.


The deals off by now anyway, but I tried & tried & tried - sorry Larry.
 
As I said, if anyone deserves these spondulicks - it's you Man!

Yep...I find it odd that that is the case.  When I signed up it just showed up in my cart!

My brother tried and got the same result....he got a code and it didn't work.
I signed up with a different email address and got the same - a code that didn't work.

JR - The deal is still on..they are still $79, and if you contact them they'll get the $10 credit.

Those who sent their email address - THANK YOU!  

I have the CEO's phone number and address...they don't like that too much, so I'm sure they'll get it 
squared away.  If not, I'm going to contact him.

Apparently they replied to me that day but I missed it.  They had me send a screen shot of the discount and said they would make the appropriate credits.  Good service if you ask me.  Thanks again cclarry!

I am sorry Larry. I have verified that the three email addresses you provided me do not include on your referral list. Hence, no referral credit was issued on your account.

Larry thanks for the link to the replacement ear cushions. I bought the 40's long ago and the cushions wore out. Leaving little black specks on my face!!

Looked at the link you posted and it got me to some replacement cushions.

Ok Larry, seems to have worked after all just a few minutes ago.
 
Got an email today saying that there was a $10 credit for me there.
 
So even amidst one more nomorerack website hassle, it finally all worked out, including an order confirmation #  email as well.
 
I'm gonna PM you my email so you can get the credit. 
 
@ vintagevibe, the deal's still on for another 20 hours or so incase you missed it.

Re: Audio-Technica ATH-M50 Headphones 2014/05/01 18:06:29 (permalink)
Okay...I received my new phones and I have to say I am pleased. They showed up well packed and in the original audio - technica packaging marked as manufacturer refurbished. I ordered on 4/18 and received them on 4/30. They look, sound and feel new to me.
 I A-B'd them with my Beyerdynamic dt770's. They sound quite a bit different. The M50's are quite a bit louder maybe because the 770's are 80 ohms. At this point I feel like I can trust the M50's bottom more but I'm used to the dt770's. The 770's are more comfortable for sure, maybe the M50's will get more comfortable as they break in. I absolutely love having both. These are a steal at this price.
I have and old pair of M40's with wore out ear pads, I think I'll repair 'em. Can I get a tutorial Bit?
Thanks again Larry, I hope you get the credit that's due.

Thanks again Larry, I hope you get the credit that's due.

 
I'm a big fan of switching between two or more headphones that sound different from one another. The M50's have about a 4 dB boost in the low end that extends up partway into the mud range. That means if a mix sounds like it's lacking bass in those headphones, then I know it's really lacking bass. If my mix is muddy, it'll sound really muddy in those headphones - but not in my Sennheisers, which are very flat in the low end.
 
OTOH, if my mix is too bright the M50's might not reveal it because they're a little soft in the high end. The Sennheisers, however, will let me know RIGHT NOW if the mix is too bright. When the mix sounds good on both, then I listen on some Sennheiser in-ears that are annoyingly hyped at both ends of the spectrum.
 
If the mix passes that test, then I know for sure that I've hit the sweet spot. 
 
Yes, the M50's will get more comfortable over time, but they'll never match those velour pads.
 


All else is in doubt, so this is the truth I cling to.

Just so everyone knows that "TIMER" on the deal means nothing.
The deal is available until they sell out.

Just wanted to point that out.
The TIMER will reset after it runs out.

Latest update...
 
They have no intention of giving me the credit(s)....so that was about $100 I didn't get...

So I am hereby formally withdrawing my endorsement of Nomoreracks.com....
Their referral program appears to be a scam...

Those of you who bought these using my link...if you have the time, please
write an email to Nomoreracks and express your displeasure if you would be so
kind....

Other then that....the headphones are awesome....
