Best Used Audio-Technica ATH-M50x Deals Today

If you want a pair of ATH-M50x headphones to just start using right away with minimal fuss, this is probably your best bet for value. You're getting headphones with ear pads still in excellent shape, and both ear and headband cushions have been upgraded for more comfort and probably a bit more longevity than the original parts. The cosmetic condition is noted as good, so expect minor wear — but nothing that will jump out. You’ll also get the original headband in the mix, in case you want to swap back. The seller has a really solid track record, so you’re unlikely to run into any trust issues. For just $5 more than the next-best option, you’re getting a little extra peace of mind with upgraded parts, and the cosmetic and ear pad condition are clearly better than the truly budget listings further down the list. The only real unknown is whether all the original cables are included; if you need a specific cable type, maybe message the seller first just to confirm. But overall, this is about as reliable and smart a used purchase as you’ll find at this price — you’re not getting the absolute cheapest, but you are avoiding the usual headaches that come with worn-out pads or unreliable sellers.

This listing is all about price: for $75 you could land a great value if you want to spend as little as possible while still getting something in good cosmetic condition. Compared to the top pick, you’re saving $5, but you do lose some peace of mind — there’s no info on ear pad condition, and it doesn’t mention if the original cables are included. That could mean an extra expense if you need to buy replacement pads or a new cable, so keep that in mind when calculating the real cost. Where this one shines is simplicity: if you want to roll the dice a bit and potentially save a few bucks, this is a no-frills deal. But compared to our top pick, you’re giving up the upgraded parts, clear info on comfort, and some trust in the overall package. If you want the most bang for your buck and don’t mind a small gamble, this is a candidate for best value — just check with the seller about pads and cables before clicking buy.

With this listing, you get a pair of ATH-M50x headphones that look excellent, with a unique touch: they’re originally white, but now have black accents added for a distinctive look. If you want something a little less generic than standard black, that could be a nice bonus. Cosmetic condition is a highlight, and you’re getting at least some of the original cables, so you won’t have to chase down accessories just to get started. The price is fair for the better physical shape, but you’re paying nearly as much as the top pick — without the added comfort of upgraded pads. The wild card here is trust: the seller appears new (no feedback yet), so you’re not getting the same peace of mind you’d have with a more established seller. That’s really the main tradeoff. If the custom look appeals to you and you’re okay being one of the first to buy from this seller, this is a stylish option, but if you want low risk, you might feel better with listings higher up.

Here you’re basically getting a headphone that’s a step between “brand new” and “used.” The open-box status usually means it’s been taken out but not heavily used, so you should expect headphones that look and feel close to new. The ear pads are in excellent shape, cosmetic condition is good, and you get at least some of the original cables. You are paying a bit more than the best-value picks at the top, but what you get for that extra money is peace of mind: far fewer surprises about wear and tear, and a likely longer lifespan before you’ll need to replace pads. If you’re not chasing the lowest price and want something that’s likely to feel almost new, this is a smart middle-ground. If saving every dollar matters most, you’ll find cheaper options above — but you’re trading up for less risk here.

If lowest price is your priority, this one catches the eye — but it comes with an obvious tradeoff: you’re getting headphones with clearly worn pads and a headband that’s seen better days. That means you’ll almost certainly need to replace the ear pads before these are comfortable for regular use, which adds cost and hassle (though replacement pads are easy to find for this model). You’re paying less up front than most other listings, but if you plan on using these daily, factor in the need for new pads almost immediately. Cosmetic condition isn’t confirmed either, so you’ll want to be prepared for visible wear. This listing makes sense if you’re handy, planning a DIY refurbish, or just want to get in as cheaply as possible and upgrade as you go. But if you want something ready-to-wear, the higher-ranked options — especially those with upgraded or excellent pads — are better starts for just $10-15 more.
