Sweetwater Advice

Mike Conyers
I've been using my M50s for years now, and they've never once let me down. A crystal-clear representation of what I am working with, not to mention being extremely comfortable, these are the only closed-back studio headphones I immediately recommend to everyone!

Isolation from outside sound seems very good so far, I'm sure a drum kit would bleed through a bit though, but not as much as they did with my Sennheisers.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
