the m50xs smooth out a lot during use.

still get a DT 880 though

Not really, that's not how that works. Also please note that SSL, one of the big audiophiles on the forum, did not include the M50Xs in his guide, but did include the M40X.

Of course they are who doesnt want to buy DT 880 for $130? Not me

That's for sure, I would of just picked them up and sold them because I got some 6XXs coming in the next few days. Then I'd probably get a pair of T50 MK3s

There's no way they are restocking again at that price, that had to be a sale.
