That's nothing laugh-worthy. Audio equipment faces massive diminishing returns. If you're looking for midrange sound you might as well pay attention to the people recommending sub-$50 headphones as to the ones talking of $150. For instance, the $30 Panasonic HTF600s is better-sounding than the $160 ATH-M50x frequently recommended as an entry-level audiophile headset. As for studio-quality headphones, chinese Superlux/Takstar models are as good as the $200-300 range.
- intopieces 12y agoAs a die hard fan of the M50x (and no qualifications whatsoever for judging headphones) I'll have to explore those Panasonics you mention. I haven't considered that company as a quality maker of audio gear since the portable CD player era. Did you do the test yourself, or are you going off of a review site? I typically rely on head-fi, but I'm always looking for a recommendation in this field.
