How do these compare in terms of sound quality and sound stage to the m50x headphones. I already have the m50x, should I get these as well?

In my opinion, if I had to do it again I wouldn't. These headphones are cheaply made and are huge and pretty much I'm entirely disappointed in Audio Technica for how they've let things get. Their headphones used to mean quality and now they mean cheap plastic parts, cheap wires and cheap sound.

The sound quality on these head phones are really great. You do need a great sound system I order to power them. I have not try them on phone.

I have the m50s limited edition. I prefer the hm5 better just because it's more neutral sounding. M50s is abit v shape to me, where you can hear the high and bass really well but the mid abit laid back. I also think the hm5 have better soundstage. However do note you will need about 100 hours of burning time for the hm5 to get it settled and the sound will change through out the burning process. The other thing I like about the hm5 that it is quite easy to mod. Mine has a cable upgrade and a wood cup now. However if u looking for option should check out Beyer and akg as they also have good stuffs as well just not in the price range of hm5. I have the m50s limited edition.

I have both and Audio technica ATH m50 wins sound quality wise. V-Moda wins looks wise.

They sound just as good as beats. I did a direct comparison myself. Plus they are really high quality. They will last a long time. No reservations, just but them!!

I have the e10 with my M50's are enhanced a good bit with it. You will notice the difference in music, mostly increasing the the lows and a little of the highs. Gaming isnt much difference unless it is a game with explosions, which will cause the "booms" to blow you away :) Overall, yes, the M50's will sound better on the e10, just not as big of a difference as the more expensive hphones.

These don't seem to leak sound. As an example: if you take them off your head and place the ear cups against your chest, crank up the volume medium-high, you won't hear leakage. I can't compare them to the AT M50x's as I've not tried those.

depends on what you want them for. M50's are studio headphones, mine are DJ. Audio Technica webpage has a well laid out list of both items stats.

Depends on the sort of sound you're looking for. These are better for Hip Hop, Rock, etc. The M50's have a less potent bass.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

The pros hurt my head. I liked the bass signature better than the M50s, but I sent them back. If your looking for a good, standard HIFI, neutral can, then the M50s are really good. Frankly, you can't go wrong with them. I was going to buy them, then I found another set that I fell in love with (Phillips Fidelio L1s).

Have not compared these. Still feel the way the posts insert into the earpiece is weak and prone to break(both sides broke on my daughter's set). We replaced this headphone with the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear ($230)and the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H6 ($399) and have been happy with both. Hope this helps.

I use them most of the time with my computer, the quality of sound is amazing, hi-def. You will find yourself discovering sounds you didn't notice before on a track. I tried myself the Beats Studio and Executive and I can tell the AudioTechnica ATHM50RD is a solid contender. They are powerful, the base sounds amazing, they are made of plastic but good quality plastic (solid). For the price you get an amazing product, the only thing I could complain is that your ears will get warm/hot after an hour os so.

No quality difference! But keep in mind, these headphones have literally no bass to them. I love JLab, and these are my least favorite. Go with the J4's. They have the most powerful bass and overall gorgeous sound. I have had multiple friends switch to the J4's.Enjoy!!

I own both the XS and the M50. Personally I use the XS for travel and the M50 at home. They both have a great sound but the M50 is flat and doesn't add anything to the music (which is good for mixing and recording). But the XS adds a warm signature to the music, it also boosts the bass a bit too. The M50 is bigger and may take up more space in a bag, and the XS is really tiny. The XS on the head is pretty comfortable, but after wearing it for an hour it gets a little sore on my ears (but after an hour it is understandable). The M50 however, makes the top of my head hurt after around 30-45 minutes, and I have to take it off due to the pain. It's really weird but I think the cushion placement in the headband is a little flawed. They are both outstanding headphones, up to you if you don't mind a bigger fit or a smaller conforming fit.

I know it's been a while since you asked, but I see you never got a definitive answer...I just put these on my m50x. They fit slightly loose, but fairly well. They are WAY more comfortable, for me, than the pads that came on the m50x.

I love my MMX300 everyone says that I'm clear and loud when I'm using them. The mic is really high end for a headset plus sound is amazing specially if you pair them with a ASUS PCI-Express x1 Sound Card XONAR ESSENCE STX/90-YAA0C0-0UAN00Z :D
