Top Comments of this video!! :3
The M50x is good but for studio use like you said. You got the audiophile thing wrong though. You can find great listening headphones at this price that are audiophile approved if such things exists. Beyer Dt770 and akg k371 might be the best of both worlds at this price point. Some cheap grados are great mainly for listening. Not to mention that you can grab the Sennheiser hd6XX, an audiophile staple, for about $50 more.

In my opinion the best reason to get the m50x is because they're rugged and last for ages. but if you don't care about that, they're definitely not the best headphones to buy for the price - check out the AKG K371, Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro, or if you can go open-back, the Sennheiser 6XX.
People mainly buy the m50x nowadays because of the hype, but the bass is muddy and the clarity simply isn't there. I wouldn't recommend them for production or casual listening. Right now I'm cycling between the Focal Clear, Focal Radiance, and Sennheiser HD 800 S, but I spend more time listening and less time producing now.

towards the end of your video, you mentioned that in order to obtain "audiophile tier" sound, one would have to spend significantly more money over the ATH M50 price, showcasing the Meze Elite which roughly costs $5000 usd. I beg to differ.
There are numerous headphones under $500 usd that offer better sound over the M50.THere are quite a few headphones under $1000 usd that offer great sound.

Thumbnail is 🔥 Full disclaimer tho...Came here from Twitter. You should really stick to outsourcing your thumbnails from now on coz it will probably blow up your channel.
Also spending slightly more effort on visuals rather than just audio will likely help your retention. Won't take much cos your storytelling is pretty decent. Anyway just saying. Wish you well bro 😎

I’ve got the m40x and my brother has the m50x which I have tried. To me the m50x sound a bit sharp and weirdly imbalanced. I think it’s worth mentioning that the compensated frequency response graph you showed is from rtings and their target has a lot more bass than most targets which is why the beats graph didn’t seem ridiculous and the m50’s bass seemed neutral when in truth, it is boosted a bit. The m40s sound quite warm and smooth to me. The m50x seem to have a weird boost in the lower midrange (this is weird because the bass isn’t very boosted by comparison) and they also have a weird treble tonality. They’re not bad, but I don’t find the other features of the m50x to make it better than the m40 for me. Im getting the Hifiman edition xs arriving tomorrow and I’ll see how it stacks up to the other 2 (obviously it should be miles better but I can’t know for sure yet)
Edit: so I’ve had the editon xs for a day and I absolutely love them. I was worried before that their almost dead neutral sound signature might sound too clinical for me but it actually sounds perfect. It really proves that the m50x have something more going on than being neutral to have the sharpness I get from them.

Hello, had them but stopped using them because my ears couldn't stand the highs and mids. Too harsh. I've bought m40x and waow they sound fantastic! I can use them for hours. First version of the m50x BT are amazing too. Not the BT2 because of the same mids+highs hurting problem for me. But m40x or m50x BT are among my favorites!

So many comments saying "actually X is better". That's not the point. The point is that theyre very good, theyre versatile, and not super expensive - all the while being easily the best looking ones in that range (if you care about that). Plenty of professional studios use them, and you've heard hundreds of hit songs that they have been produced with. Whether or not theres a "better" alternative isn't really what's on the table here.
