Have you used that site for other headphone related purchases? The Takstar HI2050 is listed for $39 which sounds too good to be true.

Aliexpress is generally reliable, at least the few times when I ordered there.

There are good and bad sellers on Aliexpress. Look for sellers with lots of feedback.

Hey what are the recommendations here nowadays for an ATH-M50 competitor at/around/a bit lower price range? Cheers.

  Agreed -- the Pro 80 seems to be the only popular competitor with a brand. This is after I disregard DonScorpio as a known brand, in which case the Drama or Dolphin might work.

 
Thanks guys. Pro 80 look interesting. Very tempted actually. They look good, durability looks excellent for the price and even comes with a box packaging you see in the high end. Reputedly has tight low base emphasis although slightly rolled off highs (wonder if some mild EQing would fix this). $51 USD shipped off aliexpress. Headphones have really become so affordable since I last was active here ...
 
Saw the DonScorpio as well, but there seems scant information on them, just a couple of recommendations.
 
Any other takers?

NVX XPT100 or Shure 440? I'd be very wary of those cheaper Takstars on aliexpress because they it is known that aliexpress have scammers/fakes. I'd advice you to go with the more expensive sellers that have good/more feedback.
 
Edit: Just saw that the $51 Takstars have good amount of feedback. Excuse me lol

A-a-hhhHEM:

1. Both NVX and Shure are Western companies and are off-topic in this Chinese/Asian brand thread. 
   
2. If you've been here often, you would've known by now that Aliexpress has scammers/fakes. Clearly you haven't been here long.
3. Trust nothing wherever you buy (online, of course) -- products/sellers with "great feedback" can still be scams if you don't know what to look for.

  Zero Audio Duoza sounds perfect for you.

duoza or ttpod t1e?
 
which one is better for its respective price.

Ah oops, my bad. 
 
Well, I did say that Aliexpress has those, I was just trying to give a tip. 
 
Sorry I guess

Besides the huge difference in price, I have both and would hands down go with Duoza.
 
Cheers,

NVX is OEM'ed by yoga, which is an asian company, so I'd consider it half fitting this discussion, http://www.yoga.com.tw/style/frame/templates15/product_detail.asp?lang=2&customer_id=2000&name_id=78835&content_set=color_7&Directory_ID=45198&id=292588 .
 
I don't see the difference between that and discussing a qpad headset which is oemd by takstar but branded by a swedish company.

True, but what about in Shure's case?

I wasn't defending that case
