Good sound for the price

Don't spend more on recognized brands or consumerish stuff without first checking out the specs! These are awesome!
Pros:
  • For the price I paid at a unfortunately non-newegg site I could not get anything better! These things produce great sound with a broad sound stage
Cons:
  • I am not counting off on the headphones for this, but newegg had the incorrect pics listed for this item
  • I emailed them about it and they quickly corrected this issue
  • The other negative is that newegg was not the cheapest which hurts me as I love to support quality merchants

Listening to music they sound great so well worth the expense

Use these as gaming headphones with a modmic. These are such a vast improvement over my Logitech G930 which I was using previously. I can hear things I couldn't hear before in game! Listening to music they sound great so well worth the expense.

Audio-Technica?ATH-AD500

I was looking for a pair for casual listening. (Since I have ADAM as my working monitor speaker and also Sennheiser HD280pro) But for the price I spent (about USD $100) I find this pair gives out a very natural sound comparing to my HD280.

Audio-Technica ATH AD500X

More than two years ago we received the ATH AD300 from Audio-Technica for review. Those headphones left an indelible mark with their open airy sound and unmatched comfort; and when we got our hands on the AD 500X recently, it was sweet nostalgia all over again.
Pros:
  • Great reproduction of the higher end of the spectrum
  • Open
  • airy
  • almost 'sparkly' sound
  • Unmatched comfort
Cons:
  • Flat response purists would've wished it to be more neutral
  • Not very suitable for small heads
