Nice, I was gonna pick up this same pair a while back! I actually went with the Sennheiser HD518. I love them! I just need to get an amplifier for them. Nothing I have gives them enough power.

Nice. I love Audio-Technica headphones I have the ATH-AD700 and they are great. I was thinking about picking up some of the white M50's for better bass and to reduce "sound leakage."

I did notice a difference after awhile of burn in. The bass became a little more prominent and the mids really came to life. I just set my desktop to shuffle songs at a pretty loud volume for hours while I was at school and after a few days they seemed to be better.

I don't feel I really need an amp with mine. I do have a Fiio E5 but it doesn't make that much of a noticeable difference. My buddy had some AKG's and Beyer's running off a tube amp and that was quite impressive. But it did cost 2-3 times more than I paid.

I've got a pair of Audio-Technica ATH-A700 and they are the best thing I've EVER listened to. When I show them off, people want to run off with them. They are closed-back headphones and my oh MY are they SO comfortable. The sound is AMAZING and they have a new version of these, the ATH-A900 that I haven't tried, but if it's an upgrade to what I currently have... I can't wait to try them!

Before I got my AD700's, I only used ear buds. I had a really expensive pair of Sure buds. The headphones are really light and the ear pads are so comfortable. I can watch a few movies or listen to songs for hours and sometimes I forget I have them on. Audio-Technica makes some of the most comfortable headphones available, that is one reason I picked them over Sennheiser.

I was stuck between some of those and the V Moda Crossfades. I ended up getting the Crossfades because of the durability aspect because I workout in em but I still want of pair of those

Just plug your MP3 player in, turn the volume to 3/4 and let them play all day and all night. Presto, broken in.
