8 min 40 sec, and you did not mentioned sound quality ONCE. "Everybody that has these, love these" - what does that even mean? How does NTH100 sound like? How do they compare to M50X? Not mentioned once, not even once. Do you do TV reviews and for 8 mins not talk about its picture quality too?
Why you consider M50X as the "gold standard"? They are V shaped and not supposed to be studio monitors at all. Have you ever seen the FR graphs of M50X?
I use the M50X, but I've noticed a bit of extra color in the low end. My voice is quite bassy, so I have found the M50X headphones are great at helping me remove some of that as I'm EQ-ing my own voice. I'm very curious about the RØDE headphones though. I love their products (I have 3 different RØDE mics), so I'd be interested in comparing these to my M50X's.
I just bought a pair of Behringer BH 470 Studio Monitoring Headphones to replace my Sennheiser HD 280 Pros in my podcast setup, because they hurt my head during long livestreams. They were $19.99 at Sweetwater. They're very comfortable and sound good enough for monitoring voices during livestreams. I'll still use the 280s for editing and more precise monitoring.
The Audio Technica ATH-M50x’s are colored and bass heavy. I love them but they are not the audio technicas to pick for a flat sound monitoring sound. Go M40x and save $50 if you want the audio technica look. Otherwise Sennheiser, Sony, Beyerdynamic, Tascam and many more are better options. Moondrop quarks are $13 on Amazon and they are freaks of nature for the price.
Thanks for the review. Have you reviewed the Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro? It's in the same price range as the NTH-100 and the ATH-M50X. It would be great if you compare all three to each other
Great content as always guys. I do feel you left out another great contender, though. I know for a fact (as an audio professional) that I've seen the Sony MDR7506 headphones in radio stations and in audio/video classrooms in the past as the "go to" studio headphones. They are also at an attractive price point (priced at just under $100 as of this video airing). Keep up the good work!
The Rode broke 3 days after I reeived. Good sound, but poorly built. i did my homework and I nivestigated, lots of people are complaining about the clips breaking. Check it out ....I think I may go for the Audio Technica 😀
Yay! Appreciate you for sharing your experience with Rode. Hope the Audio-Technica works out well for you, and please let us know how it goes. Happy podcasting!
Hey! They're comparable in sound. The other specs Travis talks about in this video are discussed to help you choose which would be the better fit for you!
