205's are the bass version of sennheiser and they clamp your head and make that bass bump well. 202's are ****- and 2cord-sided -- which is the most noob a pair of cans can be--

The m40x is way lighter than the m50(x) with a more coherent frequency response. So in terms of sound and comfort, i guess for a lot of people the m40x are the better choice. Compared to the HD 439 the m40x wins, for me at least. But the HD 439 bring very good comfort, even a little better than the m40x due to the lightweight and cloth ear pads and headband, and a likable sound signature to the table as well. So I guess its kind of preference thing. Maybe the HD 439 are better for long term use, because the pleather pads on the m40x are somewhat snug fitting and can get sweaty. The pads on the HD 439 are way more breathable and "airy".
As always its best to try them out at your local audio store.
As previous commenter said Senns 439/449 bass lacks control and definition. Last year I wanted to buy Senn HD/439 or 449. I listened to them in the showroom with both Fiio E07k and Fiio X5 as a source. I previously had Senn HD 205-2. I loved the sound of 439 but then the guy from the shop gave me AudioTechnica Ath-WS55. I was speechless and I felt sory for the Senns. I can say the sound of ATH is better in any department. I did not try M-50 though.
