m40x / m50(x) ear cup size

[xnoobftw]

Can anyone with a m40x / m50 / m50x tell me what's the earcup size of those headphones? (Im assuming that they are the same)

Both vertically and horizontally (the largest distance btwn 2 ends) 

[HmmR]

m50x has way bigger cups than m40x 

 

idk about m50 cause i dont have them or never tried them

[Cyrus]

m50=m50x cup size

Do you have the m40x? 

 

m50=m50x cup size

Hmmm what about m40x? 

[HmmR]

Hmmm what about m40x? 

m40x are a good size but m50x are bigger but its kinda odd to ware a big headphones 

 

i love over the ear head phones 

 

m40x sound is almost same as m50x 

 

so i would recommend m40x even if u have big ears

But i dont want the m40x to be resting on my ears. I want them to cover it completely!

yes that what i mean by over the ear (audio technica completely covers 

 

the thing resting on the ear is called on the ear headphones like the beats solo 2

Where have you gotten this information? They should be the same.

But is the m40x over the ear? 

They are over ears but they are one of the smaller over ears. If you must have something that goes over your ear you may want to look somewhere else. If you're willing to get an open headphone, The Phillips SHP9500 has pretty big earpads. DT770 also have big pads and that's closed.

M50 non x version

interior roughly 6cm X 4.7ish cm and 2.3ish deep

 

and because I have a dt770 sitting next to me

 

interior 6cm circular X 2.4ish deep

 

how much all the cushions squish I have no desire to measure

Hmmm so is it accurate to say this?

pretty well. also take note that I used a tape measure instead of a ruler that's why I said "ish"

[Jacona]

All the M series headphone should have the same earcup size, that's why they can all use the same aftermarket earpads.

Noooo my ears are too big D:

When you use your m50 does it rest on your ears?

you're shit out of luck then because I'm pretty sure the cup size for the m50 is near universal 4 other headphones I have have earcups that swap over directly or near direct.

 

that said I still have my tape measure sitting next to my computer and my ears are 6.5ish cm (large earlobes) and I have had NO problems with any of my circumaural headphones. actually I was surprised my ears were larger than the cups. I think you need to take out earlobe size out of the equation the sensitive parts are the cartilage filled upper ears which get irritated even for me when I wear on ears.

 

also if earlobes were that sensitive then how do women wear large Sarkeesian style hoop earings without irritation

 

earpad depth, how close the driver housing sits to your ear and pad longevity factors WAY more toward your comfort than interior circumference.

God darn it i was looking forward to it....

who knows. you do you.

I like having an M50 in my lineup. but for long hour headphone sessions that are 3-4-5 + hours long I forget my ath ad700 is on my head half the time the m50 I take off after 1-2 hours and there is a relief when I take it off.

I've just gotten my m40x AND I FUCKING LOVE IT LOL

Just a question! I have my speakers connected in the back panel and my gaming headset connected via usb. Why is it that my computer cannot play audio on my m40x when i connect it via back panel audio jacks with the long cable but it can when i connect it via the front panel ports with my short cable? (yes i bought a seperate short cable from m50x to work with my m40x)

I'm thinking of buying after market ear pads for the M40X, can I use the ones for M50X? I read that the M50X are slightly bigger, I don't know if that will translate to different sized ear pads.
