Default Cans: Audio-Technica ATH-M30 Yes/No?

These things, on long sale ($43) today only:



[Site, specs]

I need a set of closed-back headphones and something to replace the insanely overpriced and overrated AKG K240DFs I have and have always cordially detested.

So, are the ATH-M30s go/no-go?

Thanks!

I've recently got M40 FS.

8.5/10

good isolation, pretty linear response, good sensitivity. definitely worth the price.

I can get those for only a few bucks more ($53, shipped), so maybe I'll just go with them.

Thanks for the input!

What's the difference between the 30/40/50, anyway?

i know they are like 4 times the price, but I have beyerdynamic dt770 pro cans. I will never, ever go back to anything else...Heck, I'm not even afraid of mixing on these babies. They are better than most entry level monitors...for a fraction of the price.

They are chirurgical...you hear EVERYTHING. AND they are built sturdier than a tank...And they are so comfortable you can wear em all day.

you should think about piling up the green and getting THE cans.
