Audio-Technica ATH-M50

Hi guys, I wanna get some new good headphone around 100US$ and after a night of research I found this AT. There are many good comments about it, but since I can't try it in my country I need to somebody tell me if this is what I'm searching for.

What I need is a flat frequency response, I really don't want a "warmish and bassish" headphone.. so I was looking at Headroom:

I was surprised about the color around 70hz, 400hz, 2000hz and 6000hz... but when I read some reviews about M50 everybody say "flat response", so, in need some help to understand what is going on here :P

If you look that graph I compare ATH-M50 (closed) and AKR K 240 (semi-open). The AKR is less colored, it has less bass and highs, but more harmonic distortion:

Its so hard know what buy without try it before

Buy them, they are killer. I have used them for years for monitoring and enjoyment. Very accurate but not harsh. Pick em up new on eBay. Can't beat the price.

hey thanks for reply, do you have used the AKG K240?

greetings

can I bump this thread? I wanna know your opinion guys! =)

You should post this in EKT, then people will see it and likely respond :)

Yesterday I got my new ATH-M50, awesome :D

Mmm a bit late to the party but yeah I used to have a pair of AKG 240s and they were brilliant (and almost completely flat response). The only reason I got rid of them is cos one day I felt a bit flash and went for some AKG 701s which were somehow even better !

The HD800's look to be the flattest of that round up by far right?

EDIT:it's surprising how dumb a sentence can look with an extra 'the'
