Audio Technica Experience
Absolutely! The Audio Technica M50s really do sound better with age. Some people refer to it as "burning in," but I think it's more about getting used to their sound and becoming familiar with their audio signature.
However, there are limits to their use. The M50s block out external sound quite a bit, which isn't great at work when someone might be yelling my name across the office or cubicle, and I can't hear them. Plus, you can crank up the volume without realizing it, but others can definitely hear you since they leak sound quite a bit. They’re also not ideal when wearing glasses or while on the move, like walking or running. However, for a busy coffee shop, a noisy airplane ride, or when you just want to chill in bed with some tunes, they're perfect.
On the other hand, I found the smaller Audio Technica WM77s to be perfect for work. They provide a decent soundstage without sacrificing the ability to hear others around me in the office. I'm kind of questioning whether the flat cable affects audio quality, so I plan to test them with a comparable pair using a shielded cable. So far, the WM77s are my perfect office set, and they’re now over a year old.
Audio Technica really makes some good quality products! I have three different sets, and they’re all going strong. I'm definitely a fan!
