I heard that the limited edition model of the at m50s looks and sounds better (i can confirm the looks) but I was wondering if it was worth the extra money.

They are a bit better according to another user and considering how its only about $13 more then the normal M50 I don't see why you shouldn't get it.

Heya,
Not worth the money, at all.
Either model.
I would suggest a completely different headphone honestly. What are you looking for? What's your budget?
Very best,
I have the M50's and I wouldn't recommend them either for the price,if you could get them for less $100 I would say go ahead but in my opinion the $160 wasn't worth it
I mainly listen to top 50 pop and rap, so i want good bass.
My budget is $100-$200. Thanks for any help!

Look into:
AudioTechnica A900X
Ultrasone PRO 750
Ultrasone HFI 580
AKG K167
Sony XB700
M-Audio Q40
Very best,
LE version; $133.99
Regular version: $124
I was wondering: are those headphones you mentioned noise isolating and over ear with little leakage? I know I didn't mention that I wanted those features earlier, I was in a rush. Anyways, thanks for the help!
The only difference between the M50S and the M50 is the more expensive one has a coiled cable.
Amazon had the M50S for $110 just last week. Not quite worth the $160 as there are alternatives. But for $110 its pretty good

I think he is asking about the the regular and the special edition LE one.
I should buy the LEs instead of the regular ath m50s and why/why not?

Well if you are dead set on the getting the m50s then I would suggest the LEs just for looks. They look very nice. I got them for the girlfriend.
Bump? I also set on the m50s at the moment, but answers in this thread have slightly changed my choice. What is a good alternative between 100-200 with decent bass but also good mids and highs like the OP asked?
