    Just my 2 cents in case anyone is interested. Incredible headphones. Very solid. Really great sound, great build, solid connection and really fantastic battery life. Cups fold and packs away easily and also rests around your neck with flat cups. The highs can be a little fatiguing. Also the cups are very shallow, and they caused great discomfort for me which is why I sold them.

      Agreed with everything he said. I also thought the cups were too shallow and the inside diameter was a little too small for myself personally. However I changed the earcups out with some Shure SRH840 ear pads and they have been perfect since.

    • Hi mate, sounds like you’re really into higher end audio. After you sold them what did you replace them with?

      • +1

        I replaced them with the Beoplay H9i - very happy with them. I wish I held out and got the MW60 Master & Dynamic though. I like live music btw, rock/pop/synth. The Mw60 suited my sound profile perfectly and they are a good price these days.

        They were $800+ when I was looking at them about 6 months ago.

    How is this compared to the Bose QC35 or Sony XM3 in sound quality?

    • +1

      This will be in a different league. Unless looking for a highly detailed sound, you should stick with one of QC35 or Xm3

    • The original was the go to 'cheap' DJ headphones (alongside the HDJ-1000s), not sure if much has changed with the BT model.

      The sound reduction isn't bad (they are full over-ear headphones afterall), but I wouldn't say it's any better than comparable over-ear alternatives… That said, not many bluetooth headphones are full over-ear.

      • Significantly better than QC35 and xm3 as far as sound ability goes. If it doesn't match your sounds profile then that's a different thing. Many artists still use the non wireless version for mastering

        • Yeah that too - mastering and music production.

          I haven't personally used the BT model so can't comment too much on it. Unsure how different it is.

    Great headphones and great price

    Works out to be 1655 points only as you earn 345 points back..

  • Almost bought this after reading the great comments. But after a short googling, it seems these are rather worse than Sony's MX1000. See here for a rather objective comparison: https://www.rtings.com/headphones/tools/compare/sony-wh-1000…

      This is almost half price of the xm3…and sound review is subjective. Most reviewers seem to rate this one higher than the xm3 anyway.

      • If you look at the test results I linked, they actually used measuring equipment. This is as objective as it gets.

        • +1

          As an owner of the m50xbt I wouldn't actually recommend them unless your budget is around $200. In my opinion they sound noticeably better than the Sony's but the lack of comfort and noise cancelling puts the Sony's well ahead for long periods of use or noisy commutes.

  • I have owned the M50X so not sure the correlation or design change is with the BT version and although really good sounding, I felt that it was pulling down and made the top of my head hurt, the earpads caused a bit of discomfort over time.
