Audio Technia M50s

[Sherako]

1. Is Amazon ever going to sell these headphones again? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA13X17C8452&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=

2. Are those m50x's? Pics and desc say it but idk.

 

EDIT: Also what's this new 2014 model? http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-Professional-Headphones-Headphone-Amplifier/dp/B00JZRXWRW/ref=pd_cp_MI_1

Any difference between 2013 and 2014?

They have the removable cable in the picture, I guess they are M50xs

That's the M50X in white. Amazon has those.

PCPartpicker shows Amazon stopped selling them awhile ago.

If you ever get the chance to get them do it. I got them for Christmas and they are one of the best headphones Ive owned. I think my mom got them for like 99$ on amazon as a christmas sale.

Like above I'm sure Amazon will pick up these and many other headphones for the holidays.... meanwhile the Audio Technia website probably has them for a similar price as newegg. Overall, I really want these headphones. Every single review I see has nothing but good things to say about these, MKBHD being one in particular. So if you ever have the money, do it.

How many headphones have you owned, and what are your other best headphones?

Sony MDR7506 PROs

Sennheiser HD 380s

Sennheiser HD-280 PROs

Aswell as Audio Technica-M40x's

Not the only pair ive owned by far , My other best pick would be the HD 380s, they are quite comfortable and they offer great sound

 

EDIT: these werent suggestions just ones I have previously owned

Don't bother with the m50 if you already own the m40x. It's the exact same thing and overpriced. I would suggest you look into something like Sony MDR 1R or Beyerdynamic DT770 or even some used Denon D2000 on head-fi classifieds.

What do you like on your M50 over your M40x?

It was not a suggestion he was asking which ones i had owned previously

To be honest The M50s deliver much clearer sound(personal opinion, some will disagree)  but I do like the detachable cable on the m40x. Also I tend to prefer the M50s ascetically because they look better to me specifically where the headband connects to the actual ear cups .

PCPP isn't really good at following prices for anything outside of core components

Also, that 2014 model is the combo deal that comes with a FiiO E6. The model that I listed is the exact same

M50 is super overpriced and overhyped anyway. They're not even that great.

You can remove the cables from the ATH-M50x. It includes 3 cables (a long straight cable, a coiled cable and a short straight cable), whereas the ATH-M50s only have 1 non-removable cable.

This, I can 100% hear a difference between M40s and M50s, though whether the small difference is worth it is up to the user.

They're one of the best neutral pairs of cans for the price, especially if you can get them at $99.

Not true. Shure 440 with 840 pads and Sony MDR 7506 are better.
