i want to buy ath m50 ,but it costs 169 euros (230 dollars) in germany , i know they are great but are they still worth it ?

 

[Ouspensky]

I think Beyers are much better. The dt770 is far better than the m50.

 

[liamstrain]

No, not at that price. You should be able to get far better for those prices. 

 

[leng jai]

Its only worth about half that price.

 

[Ouspensky]

m50 should cost no more than 100 dollars...right now its price is inflated.

It's striking how much the M50 hype has died down. I didn't mind the M50, but the hyperbole surrounding it was over the top. I'd pay $120 max for it, purely because it's built like a tank.

 

[Kanashimu]

Can't you import it from elsewhere and have it shipped to you?

Even in the time i joined the site till now i have noticed the m50 hyped has gone way down. When i first join it was i need new headphones under $150 and everyone would say m50. Now people actually give different models or brands for different reasons. I see a lot of srh840 recommendations.

I think the shure is a good deal right now at $130.00 average price, very nice sounding can, and it even comes with replacement earpads

I got mine for that price at best buy on sale. Great price for great cans.

Heya,
 
Nope.
 
I would only re-buy the M50 if it were a $50 headphone and needed absolute isolation. Otherwise, I'd pick the Panasonic HTF600 over it for everything else other than isolation. The M50 is an over priced mediocre headphone.
 
Very best,

 

[roker]

that reminds of how the D2000 was the FOTM when I rekindled my love affair of headphones
 
now, 2 years after owning them, they still shine!
 
sometimes it goes from FOTM to classic.
 
I have a feeling the D2000s will around for a while and if not, then it'll be a sought after headphone when/if it's production ends.

 

[Katun]

Nah, I wouldn't say so.
 
$150 is average for them. Anything higher and it gets steep.

 

[sidel]

Absolutely not.

 

[crinacle]

The M50 is worth about $150. If you could get it at $100 it is a very good headphone, otherwise no.
