ATH-M40X?

[Jackgamer91]

Looking to get a decent set of headphones, don't want to drop 200+ on M50X. 

 

Does anyone have a set of M40Xs or used them in the past? Are they a significant upgrade over what I am using now (Skullcandy Uprock from TJ Maxx)?

They are an upgrade, although they're more for portable use than anything else. What are you doing with these headphones?

Yes they will be better but where do you live that m50x are $200?

Listening to music and travelling mostly. 

 

I live in Canada. lol.

they are pretty good headphones, but they are more analytical than the M50x, with not much low end, but it depends on your music taste and how you like your headphones to sound.

If you travel with them a lot then they are good. If you do get them I would suggest adding Brainwavz HM5 pads to make them infinitely more comfy.  http://www.amazon.com/Brainwavz-Replacement-Memory-Foam-Earpads/dp/B00OLKV5LI/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1450490848&sr=8-5&keywords=brainwavz+pads

I have a friend who had Skullcandy headphones (not sure which model) and upgraded to the M40X. He was very satisfied. They are some of the most portable over-ears, and although I find that they make instruments sound more mellow with an upper bass bump (150 - 300 Hz?) and less treble than they do in real life, their sound signature is nice for listening.

They're 90% of the M50x, 100% if you don't want the bass boost. Which is what I've been saying forever.

Doesn't really matter if you buy them on sale for $130 or for their regular $160 price tag, still a waste of money for something that needs to sell for under $100. M50X are simply an overhyped headphone with a price tag that is simply too much for what they are.
