Is the ATH-M50 Limited Edition different than the regular version?

[is250]

Aside from the color scheme, is there a difference in sound between the regular ATH-M50 and the Limited Edition?
 
I like the look of the Limited Edition better but I have not seen many reviews for it compared to the standard version so didn't know if they have the same sound.
 
Thank you.

no there is no difference besides paint. there is already a useless long thread on this where some people claim they hear a difference in the two even though AT states the everything is exactly the same except for the color.

Why would anyone pay extra bucks for this is beyond me

Thanks for the thread link.
 
And the price difference isn't that much now. So for a few more bucks I can get something that looks better to me (now that I confirmed both have the same sound).
