M40x or m50s?

[Nicolas]

So my old headset broke and it's time to get a new one and I was looking at the audio technica ath-M50s, but then I see that a new model came out, the M50x, that costs a lot more, but the m50s are running out of stock already, then I see the M40x, that is cheape and has a detachable cable and stuff, now I wonder is the m40x as good (in terms of sound clarity and flat sound signature) as the m50? if that's the case I'll get the M40x with the detachable cable, if not I'll have to hurry up and get the m50 before they run out.

M40x is only slightly worse, but better for the money IMO then M50x if you're not extremely worried about sound quality

M40x, same thing for less.

Own the M40x, M50x, and M50. They all sound more or less the same, so buying the cheapest is the smartest.

Very very slightly less "clear" in a way. Unless you do a direct comparison between the two though you're likely not going to notice a difference. Get the M40x.

Well either way the Srh440 makes for a better headphone once you put nice pads on it (ie 1540 pads) and the 7506 is a better professional headphone. But its all semantics and like everything doesnt matter.
