I wonder if I could become a millionaire by designing a headphone with attached prescription glasses
maybe a chin strap too

I did some further research.  I don't really know what to make out of this headphone, people are saying it's not worth it anymore and the M50 itself is overhyped.

I think the M50 is great on a budget...
Of course it has its shortcoming such as harsh treble and virtually no soundstaging ability.

Alright.  Will certainly keep the M50 in my list.  Just found out about the Brainwavz HM5.  Good reviews so far.  Would you recommend it over the M50?

Sorry for the late reply, but the Ultrasone HFI series (580 specifically) are better than the M50 on certain aspects. They can be used with glasses without a problem. 
 
Take a look at this post.

+1 on the ultrasone. Vmoda m100 isn't too far away though.

While I can't comment much on the use with glasses, I didn't enjoy any of the ultrasone headphones I've tried (this includes the 580 and 2400). I thought the M50 were better in terms of sound.

I just searched the M50 and the srh 840 (which I am now also considering) in amazon canada. The m50 goes for 200 and the srh 840 goes for 240. Are they both even worth it at this price range?!!They are obviously cheaper in amazon us but im not sure if the customs will charge me import duties. Can someone confirm if both cans are made in north america or not and also if there is a way to buy them online at the US price?
 
There is this store near where I live that sells the 840 for $240.  It is a bit expensive for me, though affordable (however if I can buy it online new for cheaper than that would be a better option).

What about some IEMs? No sound leakage and pretty decent IEM can be had in the sub $200 price point.

Canada Computers sells the M50LE for $190....
Don't buy any headphones from Amazon Canada >.>
So overpriced.

Maybe I'm just blind but I can't find the M50 in Canada Computers website.

Try this place. The shop seems to be reputable from what I've seen.

Alternatively, just google Audio technica M50 canada
