My pair was a supposed demo model from one of Hifiman's retailers. They came in mint condition, which is lucky for me. I'm not using a balanced cable yet, but I already feel it's a good upgrade...

Assuming you have an amp or a separate budget for an amp, a lot of people would suggest the Hifiman HE-400 for the genres you just listed. They'll run you the whole $400 but maybe a little less if you're lucky somewhere.

Do you need similar sound isolation and leakage that the M50 provides? Also, are you using an amp? What is your source?

If you need something portable and can accept IEMs then Westone 3 is the way to go! (it's a little over $300 though).
I don't use amps, I just use it like that.
