Firstly, great review. Very in depth and informative. I have owned these headphones for three years now and I do not consider myself an audiophile. However, I am a musician. I would suggest that the type of sound people prefer is quite subjective. I am not discounting your point of great marketing, however, I can clearly tell the difference between a pair of skull candy's (that are quite similar to some of your cheaper suggestions) and the M50x. But that in itself is subjective and the sounds I am looking for in the music I listen to, are easily heard by my ears with m50x. Obviously, there are loads and loads of options and all those options offer different qualities. I wouldn't call these the "best", but I would not hesitate to call them sufficient. Specifically when it comes symphonies, sonatas and eastern classical music. Again, I would like to emphasize, that this is just my opinion on the matter. Keep up the reviews!
