    5.0 Stars if it's in the audio track, you will hear it with no problem at all.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i have them running through a cheap $20 behringer ha400 headphone amp w/ 4 outputs (id recommend and amp for these to get the full effect).
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i hooked these up to my ipod and they are the loudest of anything that i've hooked up to it, including a number of higher-end buds.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars also they come with 1/8" and 1/4" inch headphone jack/adaptor - so you can enjoy them straight out of the ipod or connect them to your audiophile headphone amp or your professional gear.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars my only major gripe about the m50s is that the 'leatherette' ear padding's do promote sweaty ears, but they offer great isolation and minimal sound leakage.

  1. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars it's kind of dangerous walking around with this headphone on since it really does block out the ambience noise quite well.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i thought i knew jimi hendrix's albums by heart, but it was like listening to a new track with these on.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars amps are great, but it's great not to need one as your mp3 portable or cd player will do rather nicely.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars with music: i had trouble hearing any noise outside the music, it was almost completely silent...i could turn my ipod down to around 25% of max volume and could hear every instrument and then some.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars overall, turning on the switch was the same as putting in earplugs, except that when you turn on your ipod it sounds a lot better.

    5.0 Stars headphone feel sturdy; sound quality is good (bass if slightly weak, but otherwise good range and clarity); noise canceling feature is excellent.
  2. from www.amazon.com
    4.0 Stars i did find that when i was walking around, i could clearly hear my footsteps as thumps, even with the noise canceling off.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars these look good on, travel in a compact case, are sturdy and made by an audio manufacture that knows what they are doing.
  4. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i operate farm machinery, and the sony earbuds i have been using with my mp3 player were uncomfortable and prone to being dislodged easily.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i tested these for music with an ipod nano and my stereo system.

  1. from ms13 from Lebanon, IN, clickfrom.buy.com
    4.0 Stars i found the jack difficult to plug into the headphones in order to listen to my ipod, and it kept wanting to slip loose.
  2. from Robert Joy from Carson, CA, clickfrom.buy.com
    5.0 Stars i also plugged the phones into my mp3 player and did not hear any static.
  3. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars i could not keep the headphone on for more than 2 hours at a stretch as it make you sweaty around the ears.

    4.0 Stars it is a good noise cancellation phone, especially it does not generate hiss between track as most of other noise cancellation headphones have.
  5. from www.amazon.com
    5.0 Stars the quality of the music and videos when i plugged it into my ipod video was awesome.
