Decent deal. I got mine on amazon for 120 a couple months ago.

You need to join the ranks of Audio Technica fans. I'm waiting for a deal on the W1000X

Here's Tyll's review of the M50:

I got my ATH-M50 from the Sound Professionals a few months ago. With shipping, it cost me around $110!

They're rather comfy once you lightly stretch the heaphones out a little bit. For $100, they're probably the beat headphones you can get under $200.

Having heard both, and now that they're cheap, I'd say the AD900's are better, but the M50's are probably one of the best headphones under $100 (My vote is still the fostex T50, but that's just personal preference)

Good deal on a great headphone. I only tried these for a short while, so I can't comment on comfort, but I have a small head and didn't see any issue.

Nice deal! But I prefer the AD900 to this one. Got my AD900x for only $150 last month.

It's important to note that the AD900 headphones are open-air while the ATH-M50 are closed.
