Too bad ..... disappointing ...

Here I am again and again to improve my equipment, this time I was looking for a useful, not expensive earphones for as Arbeitsgeraet concert recordings on the road attending an orchestra for several years as a sound engineer, am present at almost every trial and to my old age and even again musically active.
Also I like to listen to at home a variety of musical genres, mainly classical music in very good quality, I would like once again something new.
So I have the Onkyo also ordered because of the positive reviews with an Audio-Technica ATH-m50x end March 2014 on Amazon.
Possession also as Liberty Bell "mago482" still a AKG K1000 the only AKG, I enjoy (am because of my attitude a few times come to a Germanic shark tank), have otherwise quite a few listeners, and know most of very high quality "stuff" as STAX etc for years quite well.
Even the ATH-M50 I use, among other things for several years.

Bugged is among other things, Tascam, Midas, Allen & Heath, etc. while recording, selbstverstaendlich also about useful Kopfhoererverstaerker and on PC via USB asynchronous with external DAC.
If CD's to serve as a source, then ripped (dbpoweramp, FLAC), among other things, with the .wav files Wavelab when editing.

The first "pure listening" I was also impressed by Onkyo; taken the ATH-m50x fresh in operation, however, was rather dull.
Well, we know (most stop), import is announced.
After a week of continuous operation, the ATH-m50x the ONKYO had blossomed, although still slightly covered, in comparison, however began to annoy. Well, titanium diaphragm stop, I thought, give him another week endurance.
Meanwhile we had rehearsal and concert.
(Microphones: Schoeps among others COLETTE in ORTF configuration, Neumann.)
The recording and the perception of both the space, locating, understanding and body of the instruments / the orchestra as well as the all important emotional side, the mood in the room, all that comes over the ATH-m50x with all its slight weaknesses quite authentic live in the concert hall itself over.
When ONKYO however, the room is gone, the qualities described above are missing totally, the sound is flat and the whole thing sucks.
Too bad, even after 14 days continuous operation, the hopes have not been fulfilled.

For studio operation (not only) is the short cable is an absurdity, upon request from ONKYO is there anything else to get. Incomprehensible at replaceable cable.
Was my turn, even a cable to produce the plug on the Kopfhoererseite I find super, also the design and build quality of the handset like me.

Since the headset anyway proves to be inappropriate for me, he goes back and the thing is (unfortunately) done.

The ONKYO ES-FC300 I had bought on 22 March still to EUR 150.25.
Wondering still, I wonder why the price on Amazon suddenly under 100, - EUR is.
(Updated 4/15/2014).

The ATH-m50x I keep selbstverstaendlich, which is a good device, the representation of the sound is very realistic.

Try back soon to the "Focal Spirit Professional".
For Rueckmeldungen and tips, I am grateful.
