If you take the time to read this wall of text, you will find it very informative, especially normal users like me. I am just a normal user too trying to help others who were stuck like me in deciding for a long time in which headphones to get. And I mean a very long time I love gaming first, but wanted a headphones that could play music beautifully as well. After literally years of research, I found in order to achieve that I had to go with the separate headphones and mic route. But what headphones? There were so many choices to sift through and so many positive/negative reviews to read, from experts to users, from forums to YouTube. I finally decided to pull the trigger on the T50RP MK3's based on two factors: Z Reviews (YouTube and Reddit) and price. I got mines on Amazon for about $160. Z man says these are hard to drive in his YouTube review. He is not kidding. Plug these in to your computer or phone and on full blast sound is pathetically weak. I was sad panda and didn't even bother using them until my amps arrived. My current setup at home is a Blue Yeti mic, JDS Labs Element Amp/DAC running on a home built Windows 7 PC. On the go I use a FiiO E12 Mont Blanc and an iPhone 6. I also did the mods recommended by the Z Reviews, Z-MODA extended cable (dark red) and Shure 1840 velour replacement ear pads, all of which I bought off Amazon. Unfortunately as of late there is no case that I could find that can hold both the phone and the amp. Sucks. On my head the phones don't look great to me, but the kids say it's a swagging set of headphones, whatever that means. They are very well built, light weight, and so far I have no problem wearing them for long periods of time. I can game, surf the web, listen to music for 8+ hours with no issues. I don't know what you would consider the size of ears (from the top tip of my ear to the bottom it is 2 and 1/2 inches) and it can cover my ears without either the top or bottom touching. You can take that for what it's worth. I'll start with music, the sweet, sweet music. There are two major factors in which govern how these headphones replicate sound: A) what power source you are using to power them B) source and type of the music you are listening to. You definitely hear the difference between plugging it in straight into your computer/phone (weak but clear) vs plugging it into and Amp/DAC or portable amp (powerful and defined). As far as the source of music, you can tell the difference between Pandora, YouTube, and digital audio file types, which I never did really appreciate until now. I owned all the Logitech and Astro headsets as well as a few surround type. Audio quality didn't matter so much because the computer volume coupled with the headphone/headset volume controller was enough to hear, what I thought, the quality of music, and the difference wasn't as noticeable. Now I find myself ripping my CD's and dumping my lesser quality digital files in favor of the higher quality types. Actually reading into HQ music and streaming. Why? Because these set of headphones will do that for you in spades, and that to me is the only downside. You get out what was put in. If the recording is blah that is what you'll hear. If recording is harsh, that is what you will hear. If the source of the power you're using is like they say: neutral, warm, high, low, syllabic, etc., THAT is what you'll hear. I can hear the difference between what I use at home and what I use on the go. And I have definitely become spoiled. For those that appreciate bass like me because I like bass in my music and gaming, explosions have bass, and so does music, I don't care what the audiophiles say, these phones can do bass too. But, bass also depends on the power and quality of the source. So if the file/stream and AMP can't provide that to you, then you won't get that. Want to tell the difference? Listen to a music video on YouTube. Now listen to that same music video in HQ. Now listen to in HQ bass boosted. You can tell the difference of bbbbbbbbass provided. And you will become spoiled even more. Goes from bloom-bloom, boom-boom, to BOOM-BOOM! You can tell if it's a bass drum, bass guitar, or synthesizer as well as the tone (frequency?) of that bass. I guess you can say that for every entire range, from highs to mids to lows. I owned a pair of Beats Studio wireless and it was great because it was wireless, had bass and music was decent at best. No joke, that is how I felt about them Then I got these and now sounds are much clearer, highs are noticeable, and bass has power, but doesn't overwhelm. The Cranberries get's me inspired, Taylor swift makes me sing along, 60's tracks are amazingly well preserved, Yellow Claw makes me want to go clubbing with the kids half my age (I won't), while Pachelbel Canon will make me day dream and feel cultured (Se7en library scene reference). By the way, Kanye can spit rhymes in one take, you can hear him take a breath between line, while Jay-Z cuts it after ever line. Now about that burn in period. I listened to them when I first got them and then after I had them playing 40+ hours of that burn in sounds, but I couldn't tell a difference. My theory on what happens is after a while of listening to headphones (or any type of sound providing equipment) is that your ears get used to it and it starts to sound pleasant to to you, like naturally with everything. The only way to know for sure which headphones, or sound equipment is better, is to have them all side by side, playing from the same power source, listening to the track. And most music shops don't have that, most normal users can't afford that, and most high end reviews can do that without bias and personal preference involved. So take that for what it's worth. Now to gaming. YEAH BUDDY! Gaming is awesome, hands down. You won't find it an issue running any genre of game you play. FPS games, where footsteps and positioning matter, sound come out precise, front to back, and left to right. But it still doesn't sacrifice positioning for sound effects, ambiance, or the boom boom. Water laps upon the shore, the dirt sifts under your feet as you walk or run, gear shifts as you move, shells clank off the floor as you empty your clip, and explosions are loud and boom boom. Of course games have to be coded that way for you to appreciate these sounds, but for those who know, we know. You can estimate the distance and direction the enemy tank is coming, and still can hear the sound and direction enemy players that are flanking your position, all the while artillery is being dropped nearby. Fantasy games where music and ambiance matter, these phones really help set the mood and for you. Shoot, even League of Legends sound amazing, you can hear an enemy teleport incoming and from what bush. No joke. It still depends on the power that drives it (see the first paragraph so see my setup), so take the time and do your research on picking your Amp/DAC or even portable amp. So the final part of this review, comparisons. Compared with all the other headphones and headsets I used for gaming and music, this is, by far the best yet. Not only because of the sound it will give you, but the price you pay. It performs way better than what you pay for. You may ask why charge so little when you get so much? I think it's because they feel they will sell them and make a profit and because they want to help you out because you will spend way on a good Amp/DAC. Thanks Fostex, good looking out! How do they compare to similar offerings or even to higher end gear? I couldn't tell you. What I can tell you is that I chose this because most phones I researched could offer you either good music or good gaming, not both. And these do both very, very, well. Amazingly well. Would I recommend these to gamers? Hell yes! Would I recommend these music lovers? Again, hell yes! Would I recommend these to movie lovers? Hell ye, wait I didn't even cover movies... I feel that movies is like music like gaming. You get out what you put in. You will, and can, tell the difference in recordings and between Blu-ray and DVD, from MKV to .mp4. That's how good these phones are. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a step from their current headphones. A taste of the high end audio life without the high end price. But you will pay the price for the power source. Oh yes, you will pay. But these are wurf. GG no RE.

Firstly, I have to say that these are, on their own, amazing headphones, but just like all other headphones, they have their shortcomings (which are luckily small). The Build: These cans are built pretty well built. The aluminum adjusters (and the copper wires) are the only metals on the headphones while everything else is built out of some sort of hard plastic. The headphone cups themselves can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally about the ears through the use of a ball joint, but I warn you all, don't push on the joint too hard or else you'll break something. Comfort: Comfort on these headphones is a mixed bag for me that gets a little bit better over time. The headband is padded well enough for me to feel comfortable wearing the headphones for a long period of time. However, this story changes when you mention the ear pads. While these certainly are "Over-Ear" headphones, my large ears (which from comparison to all my friends is the largest among them) don't entirely fit into the pads. I always have to have my ear lobes touching the bottom of the pads, but that isn't a big issue since ear lobes have a dull sense of touch. The worst problem for the ear pads is that they are quite thin. They're plenty soft, but I wished they could've been thicker. You'll get used to them as you wear them more and more though, and DON'T replace those pads unless you know what effect they'll have because these headphones are unforgiving to different pads(more on this in pad changing section). Sound: Oh sound, the most important part of these headphones. Are they as silky smooth and transparent as I hoped? Did they make me fall in love with my music all over again? Well, the answer is yes and no. Let's go over why. Also for the readers knowledge, I used the Monoprice Desktop Headphone DAC/AMP for all my listening and used both MP3 and FLAC files. For even more objective listening, I used a sine wave generator (SineGen: it's a free software that you can use too) to determine the peaks and dips in the headphones. Some of you readers might have already looked up frequency responses for these headphones and while you can rely on them to tell you how the headphones sound, your ears (and mine) will remain the true judge and so, as a note, my perception of peaks and dips in these headphones slightly differs from that of the graphs at innerfidelity. The listening was done with the stock pads, of course. (I just want to be extremely clear about all the details. Sorry if you think this is too much) Bass: The bass on these headphones, in one word, is "fun" and the reason for this is that they have a peak at 100Hz. This peak gives the heaphones that bass "punch" that we all hear of in reviews, but everything below that frequency starts to fall. Well, 50Hz is also pretty loud, but I can certainly say that everything below 50Hz loses impact. These headphones simply lack in sub-bass and not even equalizing can save them because (after trying myself) amplifying frequencies at 20-30Hz makes the headphones crackle in an annoying way. Because of this lack of sub-bass, I can't say these headphones are entirely accurate in bass reproduction, but I have to say that listening to drum solos on these things is one of the most enjoyable experiences I've had. So bass gets a 7/10 for me. Mid Range: The mid range on these headphones is undoubtedly its best aspect. I have almost nothing negative to say about them (almost). Le'ts get specific. Using my sine wave generator, I determined that there was a slow rise in loudness from 200Hz and peaks at 1.1KHz(this is the loudest peak in the mid range) and rolls of all the way to 2Khz. After reaching 2Khz, the amplitude of the sound suddenly increases tremendously at 2.4Khz and begins a slight roll-off from there with a major dip at 5.4KHz (3Khz and 4Khz range is is just slightly less loud than the peak at 2.4Khz). So how does all this translate into actual music? Well, the mid range is, in one word, "full." It's got almost everything. Vocals have guts in them (this is that 200Hz rise kicking in) and at the same time still sound transparent (because of the peaks at 1.1 and 2.4KHz probably). So the mid range, to my ears, sounds full and transparent with the only complaint from me is that the 5.4KHz frequency is just not loud enough, making vocals the tiniest bit inaccurate from their true tone, but like I said, these headphones have some of the most pleasing vocals out there. Treble: This is the part of the phones that I seem to have a love-hate relationship with. I'll be straight. The treble has some "sizzle" to it which is mentioned in the innerfidelity review I read. This sizzle is attributed to the rise in amplitude from 6KHz to 10KHz with, based on my listening, 9.75KHz being the peak. In music, this accentuated treble produces a pleasant airy, whirring background sound that seems to make the music more spacious (illusion of added soundstage). Percussion instruments have added "ting" to them and things like cymbals and high-hats leave slightly longer hisses after each hit. Think what you will of that, but I kind of like it. The most pleasant thing about this excited treble though, is that it is just fantastic with pop and electronic music: it just makes everything 5 times more exciting to listen to. I guarantee (no refunds from me) electronic music listeners, you'll put a smile on your face. Now, here's the bad thing about the treble: it is the horrible letter "S." The volume tends to vary between tracks, but the "S" sound in vocals seem accentuated. This problem is most noticeable in rap music where the "S" sound just kills my ears. For the most part though, the "S" sound will remain comfortable on most tracks and if that isn't the case for you, I'd recommend using an equalizer to to tame the "S". Sound Summary: Fun Bass. Full Mid Range. And Sizzling Treble. What else can I say? These headphones just scream fun. I would definitely recommend them. Pad Changing: I recommend only changing the stock pads if you absolutely cannot bear them and I'll tell you why you shouldn't. Since I didn't like the stock pad initially I bought myself a pair of Shure HPAEC1840 Velour pads and Brainwavz Hybrid Memory Foam ear-pads. Both pads are much thicker than stock and they both seem to boost the treble to uncomfortable levels. Whenever I heard a hi-hat on the drums or a word using the letter "S" there always seemed to be too much emphasis on those sounds. On my jazz and classical tracks, the treble was able to stay on the edge of comfortable, but getting into the more treble heavy tracks like electronic, pop, and hip hop music, the treble became unbearable. Outside of treble, though, both earpads change the sound signature in varying ways. The Shure HPAEC1840 pads reduce the bass slightly, specifically stuff at or below 100Hz (tested through listening to a sine wave generator). The mid-range on the Shure pads is more accentuated (around 1000Hz to 2000Hz). The bass on the Brainwavz Hybrid pads is essentially the same as the stock, but the mid range is reduced, making for a slightly v- shaped sound signature.
