did you get them back?
7) Noise isolation seemed better with the LE vs regular, and I think due to there being more clamping force.
8) LE leaked a lot less than regular as well, and I think also due to there being more clamping force.
Really want to pull the trigger on the LEs after my friend *stares at him* lost my M50s at the airport. Though I'm pretty much set, I still want to double-check: is there really a good improvement? Enough to garner a 10% price raise?
Another thing, do the LEs really have the same drivers, housing etc. of the regular? And to those who have tried them (and ONLY those who have tried them), is there a discernible difference in audio quality?
hmmm im torn between the m50 white and the m50 LE.id rather the looks of the LE but that straight cable is so long for mobile use.any problems with it for mobile use for anyone here?

Hi all,
Psychoacoustics plays a large part in sound perception. I have written papers on this phenom, especially concerning cables.
AT made the straight cord, coiled cord and LE with identical drivers, ear cups etc. Just a different colour for the LE. You will not have a perceptible sound difference between models. You will have different perception of sound due to what you want to believe. If you want to believe that a longer cable will make it sound warmer, then it may. If you want to believe that the LE, OMG a Limited Edition, will sound better, then it may. There are no physics that will support your belief.
If you want to know more about human hearing I suggest you do some research starting with the Fletcher & Munson Bell Labs studies from the 1940's.
I think the most important part of headphone audio is finding what works for you. Though we are all humanoids, our audio reception gear is all slightly different and as a result, will respond differently to different physical models.
Through it all, enjoy.
