Had mine 2years and I find my great for Motorsport. I upgraded from Nikon D800. I decided to go along the route of buying the best lenses for the camera. This camera with the Sony 70-200mm GM 2 is amazing.
The problems I have with all of these docks is power. Try plugging something in to all the ports USBA/C etc and see if you get any power issues (Not being able to provide ample power)
Sounds like they would be a standard like the SONY Mdr-7506. I've been an AKG fan until they discontinued my studio monitor headphones. I have some nice Bluetooth AKGs for travel, but I also like AT. I have a mini AT shotgun mic for streaming. Thought I might round it out with some of these.
I find myself coming back to this video now and then due to prem pro randomly deciding I dont want audio🤦 My setup is saved with it but nah, just decided to turn off while mid edit
That’s one of the main reasons I made the video because I struggled with the SAME exact problem. Sometimes premiere likes to do its own thing lol. Glad it’s helping out!
is this the non-xl? ive been trying to look for a non-xl review to try and scale how it would look like because last time I blindly trusted measurements I ended up having to spend a few hours of labor and 300 dollars
Yes! This is the regular size not the XL. I have been more than happy with it and it’s perfectly sized imo. If you’re rocking a 3 monitor set up that’s when I could see it getting a bit crammed but you could still pull it off. For scale my office space is about 13x17 sq ft. Hope this helps!
They are BAD headphones! This review is not really a review. he just reads the marketing materials and quotes bad takes by tech reviewer. Sorry to say but Austin doesn't know what makes a good headphone. The sound signature is a bad implementation of a V SHAPE, not accurate in any way unlike what he said in the video. boomy bass unnatural midrange and harsh high end. They can be fine with EQ. Good headphones in this price rage will be k361 by AKG and FiiO FT-1.
Great production and love the content! Just grabbed me a used pair of M50’s for 25$, I’ve already bought the replacement earpads and headband for another 11$ so hopefully I get to enjoy my refurbished pair of M50’s for quite some time!
I have an ATH-M50, before the X, and I prefer those for a less colored sound. But then I prefer my 560s over the M-50. Then I have an ATH-D40 that's 30 years old that was flat with a 20-200 hz boost That is still the best I ever had.
I got the limited edition red version of these in maybe 2017. They were my go to for any longterm listening for a long time. But in the pandemic, working from home, I had to wear them for longer stretches than ever before. Over a week of 8 hour days the clamp force got to me, and I started looking for something more comfortable. Now, much as I love them, I think there are better value headphones in the same price range. If you want max comfort, I recommend the Rode NTH-100. The Alcantarra pads really are incredible on hot afternoons. But if like me you need something portable, the AKG K361 is a great all rounder. Both, to me, sound better than the M50X as well. That said, I’m very glad to have them still, and they will always stay in my collection. They have lasted very well despite the battering I’ve put them through, and if I’m ever recording and really need to make sure I have a good sound, they are so familiar that I always turn to them.
I own a pair of M50x, and tbh they are very overrated. the bass sounds a bit hollow and doesn't hit that hard. the mids/treble are also a bit wack for me. the comfort is meh because with the stock pads my ears touch the plastic. I swapped the pads for some perforated brainwavz ones, and then they just felt overly big and bulky on my head. they are very reliable and built like tanks, that's probably the only good thing I'd say about em. I much prefer my n700nc m2 (which are sadly now discontinued, although I got em for £50 barely used). it's no competition really, and the AKGs have the positive of being wireless (I use them to mix music and listen to music, and I trust them much more than the M50x). and while not having lots of low end extension, I honestly think koss' ksc75 is better for listening to music than the M50x (especially when you get yaxi pads+put them on a headband). both of em also don't suffer from the m50x's flaky headband issue as well, which is pretty nice :)
These are neutral headphones. Technically they are for mixing. The reason why the frequencies are bad is whatever you are listening to is poorly mixed. Since you don't like any of the frequencies, what you are listening to is probably overly compressed.
@@orlock20 actually no, neutral headphones don't sound bad. The sennheiser hd600 and hd650 (the hd6xx is just an hd650) are neutral headphones originally intended for studio use and are loved in the audiophile community, whereas the M50x are not. Plus, when looking at graphs the M50x don't measure as flat as the HD600 do (and on the two graphs of them that I looked at the M50x had pretty horrendous channel imbalance). I also know neutral isn't boring because I have speakers that I have EQd to be dead flat off of anechoic measurements, and they sound miles better than the M50x. The N700NC M2s I mentioned do have more subbass than the M50x (they are not bass canons though), but they are tuned smoother above 100hz. And don't have channel imbalance.
@@orlock20 true, but just because something costs more doesn't mean it is better. There are a few examples in where expensive things are not worth buying or just plain bad. The KSC75 I mentioned, while not having much bass extension and being a different form factor, are still a headphone that cost 5*/4* less than the M50x yet have better channel matching between drivers and a smoother response than the M50x. I'd make a point that from 100hz and up the KSC75 graph better, and only get better when you put them on a headband+give them yaxi pads. from owning and using both for a long time I prefer the KSC75 (I say this as someone who *really* likes bass) My original point wasn't that you should buy the HD6x0 series over the M50x, they are 2 different headphones that do different things for different people. My point was that being neutral is not an excuse for being a bad headphone. If you want an alternative that's around the same price then I'd go for an AKG k361/k371 or the rode NTH-1 as they are just outright better.
Got it installed just fine with plenty of space. Kind of awkward to tighten once you get everything set but nothing too bad, just takes a lot of rotations since you cant really get your wrist down there to twist. But overall has plenty of space to mount and move one around wherever you need. Hope this helps!
There is not a lot of room on the sides. Toward the front of the desk you could for sure attach one on the side but toward the middle and the back on the sides, The supports get in the way. Depending on your mount, you might be able to attach one but the one that I have myself wouldn't have enough room.
hey Austin, I'm an avid editor trying to learn premiere. in avid if hold down shift and move your playhead the audio scrubs. release shift it stops. this makes it way faster and easier than having to constantly toggle scrubbing on and off when making hundreds of little micro audio edits throughout the day. does something like this exist in premiere? thanks
To my knowledge I don't think anything like that does exist within Premiere right now. The closest you can get is using a keyboard shortcut to turn it on and off. I believe the default Premiere shortcut for it is Shift+S but I currently have mine set to Shift+Y. This allows you to turn it on and off without having to go into the menus all the time so still very useful but not a hold down and release function like you're describing. Hope this helps! And best of luck learning Premiere!
When im looking at the Peeling Problems of the Headband, these Headphones are totally trash in my opinion, and they still dont managed to get rid of the low quality headbands...
Yep the headband does peel over time. Still great headphones aside from that. The headband on mine didn't start peeling until years down the road too. Will have to agree to disagree here!
My father bought these headphones in 2019 and have been using them every day for at least 2 hours. Several months ago, the earpads started to peel off, and the headband is slightly damaged. So five years ain't that bad for the money they cost. Keep in mind that Audio-Technica solds spare earcups. Even peeled off, they still sound amazing, and I am considering buying them again
@@venkata7226hey first thing I do with m50 is get velour pads they last pretty much forever and run less hot than whatever fake leather is used. I think there might be a silk type material headband wrap so it’s not a lot of friction and no peeling.
My record player is from the 70s($160), amp/stereo($40) and speakers/ Bose 601 series Iv ($300). In total $500. So that record player cost around half of my setup. So I don’t see the point of buying it instead of a suitcase record player for $39 and on . Also I gave my old suitcase record player to someone else to give the hobby a try for free
M40s are more neutral, better for monitoring, m50x have a little bit warmer audio with better bass, just as good for monitoring but better for listening to music for general public, they are still top for anything you throw at them though, I would go for the m50xs as I prefer consuming content rather than creating it.
How long did it take to ship? Are you having any small issues after using it for a couple weeks? Does the magpad ruin moving your mouse or using a pencil? I’m thinking about purchasing this desk but 1k is a heavy investment HAHAHA. I want to make sure it’s quality and will last! Video was very helpful I’m now leaning more towards buying it 👍
It took just over a week for me to get my unit. Roughly 8 days if I remember right, that could vary based on your location. No issues yet, just absolutely loving it! The magpad has been great and doesn’t hold up my mouse a bit. Haven’t done any writing on the pad itself yet just on notebooks with hardbacks but I wouldn’t see how it would interfere at all. The one thing I will say is use a coaster for any drinks as condensation of any kind likes to stick around on the pad quite easily. It’s definitely a hefty investment but one well worth it imo. Standing desks are nothing to cheap out on as I’ve seen numerous cheap ones that wobble and break inside of a year which is why I waited so long to pull the trigger. The cable management is probably my favorite feature. Having the power feed through the desk itself into a nice concealable tray is absolutely fantastic. Appreciate you tuning in and glad it was helpful! Hope you end up snagging one yourself!
brother. "I'll be honest I don't know the first thing about vinyl music" brother then what in the everloving hell are you doing reviewing a turntable?????? why tf did this show up in my feed
I got a free turntable to make an unboxing video and one that actually sounds pretty damn good. That’s about it lmao. Just sharing my first experiences in vinyl and turntables in the form of this video. Thanks for the comment tho 👍🏼
Back when I worked in a department store I was right next to the turntable section. To tell the good ones apart from the bad the biggest and easiest way to tell is price. Again I'm far from a turntable expert but approaching it from a very entry level position, when it comes to all in ones, I'd say your floor price is $200. That is what I observed when working in that department store. Once you got to that price point most of the units actually sounded pretty good. Everything else was pretty much junk. The one in my video sounds way better than any of the all in ones that were ever in that department store which is why I actually enjoy it quite a bit. Whatever unit you're looking at, definitely do your own research prior to purchasing. Not sure if that helps answer your question at all but hopefully it helps in some way!
Great job with excellent important information. Have had them for 5 years while wearing them out. Miss them so after watching your video that I just ordered them again.
I just picked these up about a month ago. I'm loving these, for practicing with, or recording drums. I'm glad these were 1 of 6 pair of can headphones at CG. I waa ready to spend some money, but no need with these
I bought my XL version of the desk about a month ago, along with the chair when they were on sale. At the time, their wasnt too much difference in price between the standard and XL version (about £50 i think), both are great products. Same setup process. The one thing i would add is that once the desk is assembled, you have to go through a calibration process of the desks motors before you can start using it. Not sure if that is just for the XL version or if Secret Labs have changed the motors / software, since then but it only took a few seconds to do. I also bought the cable management kit and the headphone mounting kit, those are also great products. I've been messing around with my setup and may get one of their monitor mounting kits. The last thing i think its worth mentioning and i know that a few other makes of movable desks also have this, is the anti impact capability the desk has, that was a big plus for me as i have my towers underneath the desk. It stopped me from slam dunking and crushing my towers when i was messing around with the height adjustment! ;) - great product and good video :) 👍
Great additional info! I wasnt aware of the calibration until a bit later that day after putting it together but like you said it only took a few seconds, not hard at all. Glad you're liking yours and that you enjoyed the video! Appreciate you!
I'm happy that I revived my ATH-M50X from 2014, it's 10 years old, crazy, still great to this day. I changed the earpad and paired it with FiiO BTR15 Bluetooth DAC/AMP (best purchase I made yet), stick it to the left driver with strong outdoor-grade double tape, plugged it with a very short cable. I get clear and powerful audio source from DAC with great latest HiFi LDAC Bluetooth connection (in Windows, I have to use Alternative A2DP Driver to unlock the LDAC and aptX HD). As a bonus with FiiO BTR15, I can tweak the frequency response to match my preference and compensate for the change of earpads that alter the sound profile, to match the original M50X sound profile.

@@sagi_tech_n_stuff Lol, cope. For consumer grade headphones this is a fair review. Can't expect everything to measure up against hundreds/thousands worth of amps & drivers.
@@so_sow You obviously didn't read anything i wrote and cluless about headphone. Many many cheaper headphones sounds alot better than the m50x including the cheaper m40x.
@@sagi_tech_n_stuff I read everything you said actually. Are you going off frequency response itself or a personal opinion? If it's about frequency response, sorry to tell you, but none of the consumer grade stuff comes even close to being accurate (as far as accurate goes atleast). If it's a personal opinion (or some bias against the headphones created by some random forum), remember that opinions differ, and are highly personal. You just sound salty because none of your videos are getting any real traction tbh.
