I've seen my young sister this x-mass and I bought her ATH-TAD400. She's amazed with sound quality For my ear they are really great value headphones. It's $70 price while they sound similar to ATH-M50, and because they are open back, they have better sound stage and more subtle treble. However ATH-M50 have definitely more detail to offer. For example in more messy moments ATH-TAD400 tend to get confused and voices that would be heard distinct on ATH-M50 on ATH-TAD400 are interfering each other. Nevertheless you would really have to pay attention to this to hear that, otherwise these headphones are great. Man, it's $70 headphones, for this price it is a jevel! It is MUST HAVE headphone. So if you have a friend who knows nothing about hi-fi headphones this model would be a great present for that person, and most importantly not expensive one! My sister is really happy with these. She plays on bass (guitar) and she says it sounds amazing on those. She says she never expected bass guitar to have so much interesting detail in its timbre.
Side note:
I have auditioned ATH-TAD400 in audiophile shop, and source was AK100, and songs were female vocal with percussion and acoustic accompaniment.
