Best under $300? FUSHO?!
Yes to me they sound the best. I have experience with other headphones. I know what sounds good to me.

I just gotta say the M50 is one of the worst FOTM headphones to spring up on head-fi. The worst being the PRO900's.

The bass is fat, ill defined and of a one note character. The mid-bass is congested, thick and slow, with a depression (reduction) of response throughout the entire midrange. The treble merely "spits". Other than that it's a nice phone:blink: !!
I couldn't think of one redeeming audio feature I could hang my hat on. Physically? It appears well constructed for it's price point. I couldn't give mine away with good conscience...simply don't dislike anyone that much. I trashed em' (thank goodness I bought them used)!
See I think this is just as far off base as the hype. There's no way the M50 is the worst FOTM. That's just silly. I wonder if noobs were buying up Stax if the old members here would start bashing stax? If Bose was a small company would you all start raving about them?
I heard the M50's. Hated everything about them, IMO they had very weak bass, the mid range was just sloppy and recessed,and the high end was very rolled off. Head-fi was set on fire with constant M50 everything.
Bass headphones-M50!
Neutral headphone-M50!
Aggressive headphone-M50!
Comfortable headphone-M50!
New to the he-M50!
I'm look-M50!
Just FYI during the M50 FOTM I was still a new member LOOKING into the M50's, instead I got the HFI-580. the D1100 were even better but I was coming off my sr80i high and wanted something more "shouty" I'm not bashing them because I'm being a hipster on head-fi I'm saying I think they were ONE of the worst FOTM headphones because I think they were. As for the Pro900, take a look at the for sale forum and see the mass exodus of them for Penny's on the dollar. If Bose were a small company they would stay that way, as there headphones are WAY to over priced for the build, and sound. I mean $350 for around ears that look like they are held together with twigs; They don't even use real leather for that price man.
Forgot to mention I have heard them since that time and my opinion has not changed.
Then whats with the grado praise on head-fi? They are equally absurdly priced.
