Vote Now For An ATH-M50x Drop!!!!
Anyone looking for neutrality should understand that the M40 is more neutral and doesn't color the sound as much.

To all of those who so dearly want the Audio Technica M50x's and have been voting for them in almost every headphone poll everywhere... Just keep in mind what you are getting, and make sure it is really what you are looking for. Youtuber Zeos Pantera has a few very critical and objective videos explaining why the M50x's aren't for anyone, and pointing out what else might be a better option.
His original M50 review:
his second M50x review: If you're looking for gaming headphones, he has a breakdown of good options.
Here is his review of a similar and comparatively priced headphone from Shure: And here is his review of the Sennheiser HD 598 headphones, which I currently own and recommend for their much lower price if you don't mind open back.
And here is his review of Audio Technica's open back option in this price range, the AD 900x:
I hope this helps people further refine their decision, and keep in mind, there are hundreds of headphones out there. Don't get a pair because everyone tells you they are the best. Get a pair because they will do what you want them to do to your music, games, or movies. Never be afraid to do more research. EDIT: Oh! And I forgot to mention, in this price range, Fostex offers an excellent lineup of planar magnetic headphones. Just jeep in mind you will definitely need a proper amp for these.

I could not hate that guy's videos more if I tried. He takes forever to poorly explain something in a meandering way. Try Tek Syndicate if you want good reviews on stuff like this.
Where is potato when you need an option
When will they get dropped?

I really hope they do this drop. Even better would be collaboration where we get custom M50xs or new re-branded model. Here's to hoping.

when are these dropping?
What are some alternative closed-back headphones to the M50x with larger ear cups?

DT 770, Beyedynamic Custom One Pro, Suhre SRH 840, Sony MDR A1, Sony MDR 7506. Please don't grab ATH M50X if you're not monitoring and consider buying open headphones maybe.

I think you should just find a mod for the ear cups and go for the m50's I already have a pair they are the best nuetral sounding headphones out there
