Hello, I have narrowed my choice of headphones to the Sony MDR 7506 or the Audio Technica ATH M 50 can someone lead to what the best choice is?  Pro and Cons....I have done a lot of reading on this forum and soaked up as much knowledge as possible.  Just need a last minute persuasion towards one or the other.  Primary use will be a combinations of monitoring for edm production as well as here and there for some late night mixing (I do have monitors for actual mixing)
 
Also is it safe to purchase from EBAY, or do I risk getting a knock off?
 
Thanks so much!

i have the m50s they are good all round with nice bass
 
the ear pads on the 7506 will chip away, m50 doesnt.
 
they both have really long cables which is a con when taking outside.
 
i personally prefer the m50 myself, but thats just me, never regret on buying it
