Hey guys, I've currently been looking at upgrading my M50s as I feel they are lacking somehow. I've had these headphones for over a year now and they're starting to wear so I thought why not upgrade. I've done quite a bit of research over the past couple of months and narrowed my options down to two headphones.
 
1. Sennheiser Momentum
2. PSB M4U 1
 
My budget is around $300AUD, was just looking for any other suggestions or someone to push me towards one of the two listed. I listen to basically all kind of music, I like the sound of my M50s so something similar to that would be good.
 
EDIT: forgot to mention that closed back is preferred.
 
Thanks for your help

Hello!

If you love your ATH-M50 to death and wanted an upgrade for better resolution etc, the Momentum are no doubt, a better headphone! The timbre are excellent and it have the bass like the ATH-M50 but one step better, less recessed mids!

So my vote goes to Momentum for your use but do note that the Momentum have smaller earcups.

Hope it helps!

Are you a basshead? Do you want brassy headphones that do not drown out mids and highs? Or do you prefer a flat response?

I have the m4u2, the noise cancelling brother of the m4u1. They have a flat response with no emphasised bass. The momentums have a bass sound signature so pls tell if you're a basshead. Also consider the vmoda crossfade m100

Hey guys, bit the bullet and went with the momentums. I like a bit of bass so that's not a problem. Considered so many headphones including the m100s but after hours of researching the momentums seemed best fitting for what I wanted.
 
Thanks for the replies
