Audio-Technica ATH-M50x vs similar options
vs HIFIMAN HE400se: Open-back planar magnetic (bilateral magnet version) aimed at Hi-Fi listening, and it benefits from a dedicated amp; pick it for open-back sound, the M50x when you need closed-back isolation from room noise.
vs Audio-Technica ATH-M40x: Same wired M-Series studio line, pitched on flat, neutral tuning for monitoring and mixing; it comes in black only, so pick the M50x if you want white.
vs HIFIMAN HE-R9 Wired: Also closed-back and wired, built on a 50 mm topology-diaphragm dynamic driver (60 Ω, 100 dB); choose it for HIFIMAN's driver tech, the M50x if studio monitoring is the job.
