i've had two pairs of ATH-M50s (one black, one white) and they both turn into a giant mess once the painted vinyl (or whatever it is) starts flaking off after a few years.

Just bought a pair of ATHM50x. Well worth the cost. Been out in the field recording with them and mixing in studio as well. Loving them so far.

interesting. Mine are both in great condition ~10 years later. You can buy replacemnt ear pads, but only in black AFAICT.

it was the headband that got flakey. maybe mine were exposed to more light or something.
