Best Bang For Buck $80-$120 headphone
Best Bang For Buck $80-$120 headphone
245
No love for Grado on Massdrop?
The Status Audio CB-1 are just as good as the M40s, much less and you don't have to replace the pads

I am looking for wireless
Neuralyzer
This is an audio enthusiast community I doubt there will be much wireless headpone ,I have yet to see one so far on massdrop
Where the heck do you find ATH-m50x's for $120?
dankulus

How many headphones so you own? 3?

1.Garbage pads
2.Uncomfortable
3.Proprietary garbage
4.Not even close to being accurate enough for (actual) studio use what they are meant for
Even more reasons from someone that owns (and has listened to and borrowed )way more Headphones then you

And stop making assumptions you twit

the people who picked m50s need to brush up on their definition of good headphones

"Equalizers exist" you can say that about all headphones you can make any headphone sound different that way...
Title:Best Bang For Buck $80-$120 headphone Not "pretty decent"
"The pads are fine. " Not if you look at 90% of the other headphones listed
M40xs are much better as far as bang for the buck in comparison to m50xs

M50's are the new Beats.
The m50 are not good lol. It blows my mind that people think they are amazing. Super uncomfortable, extremely cheap build, and the sound is average. The Phillips SHP9500 have one of the most solid builds I've ever seen, the sound is fantastic, and it's half the price lol
im talking to the other guy... howaml

ATH-M50X circlejerk intensifies.

I find it funny that of all places Massdrop, the place where people would want to get the best deal possible, in a poll trying to see what is the best monitor for the money, and the M50x comes out on top lol

These headphones SRH440 w/ the SRH840 ear pads or the Brainwavz Replacement Memory Foam Earpads sound quite simply amazing. Their normal ear pads are okay, but with these upgraded, you can't go wrong.

I have the 440's with the stock pads and I'm interested in changing them to Brainwavz ones. How do the pads effect isolation, comfort, tone, soundstage, etc?
