I went to an audio conference in Chicago a few years ago (AXPONA), when we still could.
ATH was there with a display and I asked the rep about the ATH_M40fs being revived, and he said he has a lot of people asking but not likely due to some technical manufacturing issue .. so the M40X was about as close as I could get.
For me the M50's had a bit more bass boost, and for mixing/editing, knowing me as well as I do, I'd end up with not enough bass due to mixing to the M50's.

So I stayed with more of what I am familiar/comfortable with.
I actually did a straight up trade of my M50's for another forum member's M40's so I had an extra pair .. we were both happy so win/win!


I do not work here, but the benefits are still awesome
