Help for choosing the best headphones for my husband to replace his ATH-M50x (alien.top)

Hello headphone audiophile people! I want to get my hardworking husband a nice gift this Christmas and he has complained about his ATH-M50x starting to fall apart for quite some time. I have read a lot and it seems these are very very good but I am sure there are better out there.

He records music occasionally and uses them for that. The cord feature is still desirable because I think he will believe the sound is better and this is only for at home listening anyways. I think noise cancelling would be cool since we have a 2 year old but not a necessity. He mostly listens to music and games with them - loves classical, metal, and punk music. Comfort is also important for long days working on the computer.

I am happy to spend 200 euros ++ if it means a better experience for him. Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

  • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

  • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

  • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?
