Beautiful Sound

These are the best sounding earbuds I've ever tried. Sound is very clear and well balanced. I am impressed with the build quality. The detachable cable and ear loops seem to be very durable. They come with four different eartip sizes.

Good sound-lousy fit

I think these IEM's would be really good IF they fit-however they do not!-The largest ear piece is about half the size of the large foam Shure ear pieces I have always used. Without a good seal in your ear all you get is highs and mids-absolutely zero bottom end.

Five Stars

Audio Technica ATH-E50 Professional In-Ear Monitor Headphones

Thanks to Audio-Technica Singapore, for the loan of the Audio-Technica ATH-E50! Webpage: http://www.audio-technica.com/cms/headphones/1eaea2e39ebfe3cb/index.html Knowing that ATH-E50 is a single BA driver IEM, I honestly was not very excited about it.

Neutral & pleasing sonic signature; good build quality

‘uncommon' newly developed A2DC connectors for the detachable cable

New to the earphone scene and freshly arrived at my review desk, the ATH-E50 is priced at $199. Like other models in the E series, this one doesn't feature a mic and remote, but does promise impressive audio. So how well does it deliver on that promise?
