im not a certified audiophile but i'm the anon from earlier and i tested a few headphones before settling on the a50s. i didn't notice a real good/bad kind of difference between akg studio headphones (k371 and k612) and the astro a50s. the studio headphones sounded a bit more flat and harsh, like being able to pick out instruments more easily, but not so great for listening without fucking around with the EQ. one thing i did notice was that certain songs and games with bad audio quality/mixing turned into crazy ear rape because studio headphones are like that i guess.
for me the astro a50s sound perfect out of the box. they feel easier on the ears while still being good audio quality. it's just personal preference but i prefer this over the studio style listening
i did also try cloud 3 wireless and they definitely sounded like total shit
