The M40x does have some problems, but it's nowhere near as bad as the M50x.
The M50x has mediocre sound quality and is a basshead headphone marketed as a studio monitor. Here's proof:
(Planar magnetic headphones, which have plenty of bass and are also considered to have perfectly neutral bass, follow the green line in the bass. That's how much extra bass the M50x has.)
The Sony MDR-7506 is even more bright and harsh than the MDR-V6. Not balanced at all. The MDR-V6 is slightly more balanced.
Aha. Now that's an out-of-place line for "studio" cans. Cool. On two notes:
1. What's a better investment, M40x+Fiio E6 at $109.95 or M40x+hard shell case at $99.95?
2. Just out of curiousity, how do the newer M70s compare if anyone knows? Way out of my budget, but it's an interestin gdevelopment.
