ATH M40X or ATH M50X

[Accursed Entity]

I'm about to order the ATH M40X, but I wonder if the extra $70 for the 50X is worth it sound wise? The looks and the movement features of the 50X is not what I care but the sound and only the sound... is it really that different or should I save those $70 and spend it on a sound card or anything else?

From what I hear they're not worth the extra money.

I would personally get ad500x or sennheiser 518s, but if you need one of the two listed, the m40x is a much better value.

They sound the same.

These things are friggin loud. You should not need a sound card or amp, but there is a package on Amazon that comes with an E6 for $1 more than just the headphones. If anything, a microphone to go along with it would be best.

Yeah I saw those, I just ordered them from Ebay for free shipping. I also ordered a ModMic last night to go with it and one of those cheap $3 usb sound cards just in case for the mic's white noise lol
